New website for Etxebarri

Etxebarri ranks #44 in the top 50 best restaurants in the world. It is also situated in the especially magical valley of Atxondo, although unless you know the route, it is not exactly easy to find. The prospect of clients not being able to find their way to this restaurant was one of the major concerns of the owner Bittor Arginzoniz, and to this end, he decided that they needed a new website that addressed this matter. We have redesigned their website to be responsive on all platforms (desktops, tablets, smartphones). We also designed the site in such a way as to really showcase what the place has to offer and to highlight one of the restaurants most significant characteristics - fire. The Etxebarri restaurant is renowned for its grill, where they cook using ancient techniques passed down over generations. We also redesigned their logo, bringing it into the 21st century...

Film It! iPad app now available

di-da was approached by Polish company Szybko to design the icons and user interface for an innovative iPad app that they have developed. The "Film It" app is now available to download for free in the app store as well as "PDF It" and "PDF it Pro". The apps enable ipad users to simply record, edit and publish films using pre-determined templates.

At di-da we developed a large set of icons, buttons and their respective states as well as a modern and clean user interface design template. ...

Brand representation VS reputation

What is more important to a brand? Its representation or its reputation? A logo is the visual representation of a brand in its simplest form. But do logos accurately represent the brand? What exactly needs to be represented? Is a logo even necessary? Defining a brand Until recently, few designers used the term 'brand' to define their work. It was all about 'corporate identity', 'visual representation' and 'communication'. Today the word brand appears on the majority of portfolios and CVs as more and more people jump on the brandwagon(!). I would contest that it is impossible to "create" or "design" a brand, given that they are the sum-total of perceptions formed by an end-user. Of course, designers can contribute to helping to shape those perceptions, but when I hear people describing themselves as "brand designers", it tells me that they haven't really understood or given too much thought to what 'brand' actually is.
