Review of the Year 2019: Top 25 Digital

This year on It’s Nice That, our editorial and creative teams have been stunned, sometimes a little confused, but always impressed with work generated by creatives utilising digital tools.

Over a year exploring this wide-ranging discipline, there has been many a moment spent investigating images which we thought must be photographs, only to realise they were renders. We sat down with Fyre Festival’s digital design team, learned about the multifaceted process for FKA Twigs’ recent album sleeve, and saw how the capabilities of digital techniques could shape the future of the type design industry too. Each month we also scrolled through hundreds of websites, hunting for the best in show for our monthly regular showcasing innovative web design, Double Click.

Here is a collection of digitally led stories our audience just couldn’t help but click on.
