I’m starting to ramp up towards Mix09 with a series of short posts about  agencies and projects here in the UK.

Starting with the great team at AllofUs.  This week they were awarded the Design Week Award for Digital Design – Information for the Microsoft Interactive Canvas.

This is a great  interactive wall, built using Expression and WPF and shown recently at Remix in Brighton:

Quite different is the Sky Player – the Silverlight LiveTV and On-Demand service.  This adds to a significant list of companies and broadcasters looking to Silverlight and PlayReady for a high-quality, flexible video experience.

Both examples of what can be achieved using Expression, XAML and great design.
