This website and portfolio layout stems from one of my procrastination deep thinking sessions. Below is a list of thoughts that amalgamated to form the conclusion you see on your screen.

If we are truly subject to 10,000 adverts a day but are unconscious of it, does this mean that blind people and agrophobics have a less crowded mind?

Have you ever felt the power of an advert or piece of art?

Why does the mouse sometimes turn from a cursor to a hand with a finger extended when you want to click on something?

What if a computer screen could generate braille the same way these pin art toys function, would it just be a novelty screen or would we have revolutionised the way blind people browse the web? And how would this change digital advertising and art?
