Co-owner and founder of walkit.com launched the UK’S first online walking route planner and now turns over 250,000 pound and recives 55,000 hits on the site a month. This site to me is a simple product with good innovation and design. Walkit was started for people to be able to measure how long it would take for them to walk from a meeting to their office in central London rather than them driving, as walking is the quicker option but people didnt belive or seem to realize it. The essence of walkit is ‘ given the right information people can beat the grind of the daily commute using their feet. ‘ The wevsite doesnt spend anything on marketing and only uses word of mouth, which of course is the most powerful marketing a company can get. People having been giving up the car and bus ride to work because through the site they have realized that walking is quicker, this is leading the way to a more enviromentally friendly City and healthier people.

Day 5
Well terrible night sleep last night…Why cant someone invent something so that we don’t have to sleep anymore! Also smashed something in the morning whilst getting it out of the dish washer, so overall bad start to the day. From this it got me thinking about other things that can smash, or more so that cant smash but could possibly be made to look like they have so I started to More »
Day 4
Well same old usual sleep, weather is looking pretty grim outside which I should expect I suppose being in England. Today was pretty simple I looked around my room for things I could shape into objects. I wanted to use something that I could manoeuvre and keep together whilst creating a form, similar to peeling an orange all in one go! So I used some string and toilet paper to More »

Take a look at a brief part of it below: More »
