Arabella.at

Commercial broadcaster Radio Arabella has got a new website - by knallgrau.

    

At first, let's have a quick before/after look:

Screenshot Arabella.at until November 2009That was Arabella.at for the last few years.

Screenshot Arabella.at from December 2009New Arabella.at in a typical news platform layout, aggregating numerous sources.

Screenshot Category OverviewOverview for the different radio shows...

Screenshot Blog...that are blogs! The hosts write about their show's topics and discuss it with their audience.

Screenshot PhotosWe have Flickr Slideshows for the huge amount of party pics etc.

Screenshot Weather mapsAnd of course we redesigned the weather maps, putting the map elements to the back and bring the essential information to the front.

Screenshot FooterThe footer sums up the site and offers a sitemap and the navigation to others regions of Austria where you can listen to Radio Arabella.

There's also a link to Arabella's B2B-Site media-sales.at, which we relaunched with a new design as well.

Almería

I've been to Almería in 2002, not knowing what I saw. Today, Erwin Wagenhofer's documentaries take me back to my memories of the region.

    

In Wagenhofer's film We Feed The World I saw the same pictures that I took with my camera in 2002:

Almeria 2002

Participating in European Union's Comenius project, I spent a whole week in the South-East of Spain (here are our project results - actually one of the first HTML pages I've ever built, with frames and all the good stuff...).

We even made it into a local newspaper:

Almeria 2002

I was excited, and everything I saw was fine and good and beautiful and nice, like I thought my photos were:

Of course, we visited one of the plantations:

At that time, I had no clue that this was a globalized industry that brings wealth to any other country but the people in the region.

Now I know, that 80% of Spain's coast line is obstructed with uninhabited properties, just for one reason: provide value for global investments.

Almería is not only the setting for many Hollywood classics but also for the ongoing financial crisis thriller, whose victims are the ones that can only watch and pay for it.
