We’ve put together a fun little animation for Guernsey and Jersey Gas to promote their latest heating offers.
Created in Flash it utilises a range of the animation tools available such as skeletal animation and each of the bees, the bird, frog etc have separate timelines meaning the motion is constantly evolving so each time it loops they will be in different places.
I love bikes. If I were rich I would have a museum of bikes. And if I were even richer I would invest in the development of this beauty.

This year we took the opportunity to give the Victor Hugo Music Festival a refresh. The site has been totally rebuilt in HTML 5 and this gave us the chance to make it wider and easier to use more visually appealing.
In the past, they said in the future, which is now the present, that we’d have all sorts of food innovations such as magic pills that contained entire meals, and vending machines that could create any flavour you wanted. Whilst not quite at that level I like this entry for the Electrolux Design lab 2010 — a bio robot refrigerator that cools food using no electricity. Read more
