SVN Visualisation using Gource
August 19th, 2011 · Ric · 2 Comments
We use a version control system called SVN in the office when building websites. It allows us to keep track of changes to code, try out ideas, collaboratively work on the same file at the same time etc. It’s very valuable as it means we have a history of what we have done and are able to fix bugs much more efficiently. I wouldn’t dream of making websites with it using it now. However despite it’s usefulness it is pretty dull to look at so I decided to find a way to make it more interesting.

Kenk: A Graphic Portrait
August 19th, 2011 · Edward · No Comments
I remember reading about this crazy bike thief in the press a few years ago. He allegedly stole the greatest number of bikes in world history. I recently saw a video made by two film makers who were captivated by the complex character of Igor Kenk and his slightly insane story and even crazier bicycle ‘collection’. They shot alot of film with the view to making a Graphic novel in a cut-up/rough style. This style draws influence from late 70’s punk ‘zines and FV Disco which grew out of Yugoslavia in the ’80’s as a result of easy access to photocopiers but restricted state run print presses. The result is a raw film and the associated Graphic novel.

MO’s unique view of property in the Channel Islands
August 18th, 2011 · Chris · No Comments
‘Tilt shift’ photography is a particular photographic style enjoying a recent resurge in popularity where the tilt of camera movement can create a selective focus, often to simulate a miniature scene, reminiscent of a toy town.
This style of photography has now been used in a series of ads created for leading offshore law firm, Mourant Ozannes, by Betley Whitehorne.
