Paul, Adam and I have first-hand experience of the Heineken sponsorship of the Champions League through the medium of table football. We know it’s not easy, it’s challenging, emotional even. But what we suffered pales in comparison to these poor Italian football fans.

Tweeting. Swiss Style.

March 11th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments

I’m not a fan of Twitter, maybe because most people use it to waste time posting things no one is interested in. I do quite like Helveti-tweet, a fairly pointless website that shows Tweets about Helvetica. I’m amazed how often people mention the typeface. Maybe Comic Sans needs an obituary site?

Photoshop turns 20

February 19th, 2010 · Ric · 7 Comments

20 years and one day ago you used to be able to believe what your eyes told you — a picture never lied. Then Photoshop was born and everything changed. It’s come a long way in that time and continues to amaze with new features and ideas keeping it at the top for a long time. It has to be one of the most successful pieces of software ever. Adobe and Photoshop users are celebrating today, and I know I’ll be having a drink later too! (Any excuse). Read more

The life and times of Internet Explorer

February 16th, 2010 · Ric · 1 Comment

I’ve written several posts about why people should ditch Internet Explorer 6 for something nicer like Firefox, but I’m not sure everyone always understand them, or why it’s important. Here’s a fun little comic strip about the Life, Times (and Death?) of IE6.

Well done to Natalie Burr from Luxembourg who won our Design a Snowflake competition and received a stylish bag full of festive themed, chocolate goodies.

Are Google getting worried? They’re running a TV ad. It’s rather good too, simple, elegant story telling with a little bit of humour. I like it.

The best icon set on the web?

February 5th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments

Great micro icons

When designing websites making effective use of screen real– estate is very important. Whilst in our office we may be using dual or 27″ monitors many visitors are not so fortunate. Luckily for them a fantastic 2×2 pixel icon set has been designed which minimises the amount of space used, and download very quickly. What’s more they’re free for you to use on your site too. Take a closer look at these great icons. Make sure you hover over each icon to see detail it contains!
