A little job we’ve just done for a friend to help publicize the Tempest World Championship (That’s a type of sailing boat not a rendition of Shakespeare’s finest). It’s being held in Weymouth where the sailing for the Olympics is going to be 2012. So if you’ve got a large boat called a Tempest, pop on down and see how you fare.
Congratulations to Chris, Jono, Leanda, Adam, Stu, Mark, Anna, Rich, Flash Matt, (plus everyone else who’s helped out with Digital this year) for picking up two awards at last night’s Big Chip Awards in Manchester.
The Dr Martens design a boot competition won the Best Digital Marketing and Brand Development category, and we were also honoured with the Big Chip New Media Agency Award. On top of that Flash Matt and Rich picked up awards for Best Freelancer and the Big Green Chip Award, respectively.
But whilst we like to think we did well, the real winners on the night were our neighbours on the 3rd Floor of Basil Chambers, The Neighbourhood, who went home with four awards, including the Grand Prix and a special commendation for outstanding achievement. Well done boys and girls.
5th- 11th May was Warburtons National Bread Week. The sun was equally excited by this and came out to visit all week. So, sandwiches in tow, we took our hamper and had a jolly great public picnic, hopefully the first of many this summer.
Interestingly, it seemed half of Manchester was also out that day munching on their sarnies. You can add your own picnic pictures here.
Special nod to The Neighbourhood for their very British filling of choice: curry
Apparently there’s some sort of football match on in Manchester tonight. Not that you’d know it this afternoon…very quiet around town at lunch time
Any Rangers fans reading this (or Zenit St Petersburg fans for that matter), After Sun lotion and Alka Seltzer will be on sale at LOVE from 8.00am tomorrow morning. Very reasonable prices.
Packaging has got a bit of a bad reputation recently. It’s generally held solely responsible for climate change, destruction of the rainforest, the UK’s landfill problems, binge drinking culture and probably the credit crunch too. So when Silver Cross asked us to redesign their packaging for their prams and pushchairs we wanted to show that a box doesn’t have to be something chucked away at the end of the day: a box can be a house, a boat, a helmet or even a rocket.
We’ve done a poster which contains all of the 12,000+ entries from the previous round of the Design A Dm Boot competition.
We posted about it last week, but now we’ve realised that no-one could make out what was on the poster.
Silly us.
Anyway, if you want to see the poster – click here to see a hi-res version (22mb compressed zip format).
Just a quick note to anyone who might be thinking of doing some stapling today. This is the incorrect way to staple a document:
As is this:
Even this is unacceptable:
