digital scarborough in 2005 was the event that pulled me into the creative community of scarborough. i was invited along to a meeting sometime in 2004 and before i knew it was in the whirlwind of planning a showcase of scarborough’s digital/creative community. in 2006 we improved on the format and with aim higher funding via nybep we hosted a weekend of guest speakers [inc. matt locke, head of innovation at the bbc], workshops and a fringe of digital arts events curated by create.

after a break last year darrell from it & digital york has secured some funding and whole bag full of enthusiasm and ideas for a digital scarborough 08. you heard it here first [or maybe you didn't]. we’re pleased to announce that electric angel will be designing the promo material which will be out verrrrry soon.

in the meantime it seemed a good excuse to show off our flyer-cum-poster design from ds06. as a side note, it was james [who was a student at the time] who won a competition in 2005 to design the digital scarborough logo - a digitised version of scarborough’s coastline - and that’s how he and i met.
