It’s time for something new

After 14 years we’re hanging up our keyboards. Our team is joining the lovely people at Culture Amp, where we’ll be helping build a better world of work.

To commemorate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, we built a touch screen interactive and a companion website for the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.

Highlights include a live Latin-to-English translation of noteworthy clauses, and an orthography section which illuminates some of the document’s language and intricate calligraphy for a 21st century audience.

Both the interactive and website were created using Middleman, Sass and a whole lotta good-old-fashioned JavaScript.
