Yep you heard right we’re employing from today! How would you like the chance to work alongside some of the most talented designers in the industry? To be pushed and find ways to solve solutions every day? To love coming into work everyday and be paid well and not having to watch every minute of the day. To be trusted in your skills and abilities and not be micro-managed.
So apart from the heavy snow and slight disruption to the first week back at the office we’re pumped and ready to go for a great 2010. Now settled into our new surroundings (although a country location hasn’t seemed too wise the past few days) what else have we got lined up in the coming months and year?
To start with let’s give everyone a run down of a few sites that have gone live over the Christmas period and some exciting projects to come in the next few months.
OK… we’re in! Based in-between Andover and Sailsbury our new studio is in a purpose built barn and will benefit our local clients in both locations and surrounding areas. Set in beautiful countryside with rolling hills and an abundance of fields our new studio spearheads our 2010 expansion plans.
Offering our clients a better insight to the way we work the studio is open to all and potential clients to visit in the new year. We might even give you a match on the old table football, maybe we’ll give you some free web work if you let us beat you.
For those that don’t know the Adobe Creative Suite is a collection of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made by Adobe Systems. The newest and most exciting suite to date is due out around April 2010 and as designers and developers we can’t wait for its release. CS4 seemed to lack any real punch from the previous CS3 suite, but looking at this video there is much to look forward too.
The new collection consists of the standard Adobe applications. Photoshop CS5, Acrobat, InDesign CS5, Illustrator CS5, Flash CS5 all supporting the various technologies we’ve grown to know and love in PostScript, PDF and Flash.
There seems to be a trend of late using the idea of a scientific lab or test tubes to the design of a site. A lot of these ideas probably do stem from name generation but its an interesting one to see emerging and is quite the opposite to the shiny apple trend of other web design styles. Here are some good examples of this pretty cool illustrative effect put into practice.
