Highgate Cemetery
Originally uploaded by The Polstar

Strength or indifference. King of the living. King of the dead. Corona nodding toward classical architecture; living patina nodding toward the breathing, thriving, sun worshiping.

A lion by any other name. Perhaps on a headstone. Or a monument. In Highgate Cemetery. In London. A few years ago. Probably greener now. Features softened by time and photosynthesis. And eyes, lenses, cameras, flashes, monitors, internets, mobile browsing devices. The representations of representations.  Are you still with me?

Despite my withering review of M on the Bund in Shanghai, I remain intrigued by some of the design elements of their website… Although the actual restaurant-specific drill downs are not particularly innovative, the general home page experience is similar to the concept I’ve been working on for Rosslyn Redux.
