Animation is on the up.

We recently produced a really nice brand awareness Flash animated banner advert for Cherry Godfrey.
Featuring on the home page of www.cherrygodfrey.com the banner was the most effective way to showcase the wide range of services Cherry Godfrey provides. After a load of story-boarding, and some heavy duty Flash programming, we had lift off! Check it out here.
A great collaboration.

Season’s meetings.

With the festive season kicking off for us in July, you might think my inner Grinch would be bubbling to the surface by now.
Thankfully, this high end Christmas & New Year brochure for 51 Buckingham Gate and Crowne Plaza was not your average tinsel clad card…
Introducing Interface.

Oi has designed and produced the first Interface news update for Intertrust as part of a direct mailing campaign to their international customer base…
Max is better, and off on holiday!
August 5th, 2010 | Posted by admin
Last year we held the Oi Beach Ball and raised £20,000 for the Piam Brown children’s cancer ward at Southampton Hospital and young Max Adams (pictured) to go on a holiday of a lifetime. At the time Max was battling a very rare form of cancer, as you can see here.
Fall in love…with this brochure.

We recently completed the design of a super high specification brochure to promote weddings at the Taj Hotels in London.
It’s not that often a client gives you a free reign on luxury finishings for printed marketing material, so this was a particularly nice job to work on. As a luxury five star hotel group, any Taj marketing material has to ooze quality therefore this brochure was not only printed on gorgeous, multiple stock but has fold-outs, embossing, foiling, high quality photographs etc…
Unfortunately the project didn’t include visiting their hotel in the Maldives. Maybe next time! Have a look …
Oceans of opportunity.

Two classic pilot boats were in Guernsey during July courtesy of Set Sail Trust. I had the privilege of sailing around the world on one and still made it back to the office for Monday.
The Scillonian Amelie Rose and the Bristol Channel Morwenna are replicas of their 1800s counterparts and were here as part of the Trust’s initiative – supporting the development of marine education and nautical activities.
I was a mere supervisor (turned camera crew) for a rope pulling, bow ducking and tiller wrestling group of young type 1 diabetics.
Our circumnavigation of the world and all those grins are caught on video here as a big thank you to all those involved.
Consumers & Convergence IV.
August 2nd, 2010 | Posted by Heather Townsend
New KPMG research has revealed that UK consumers are less willing to pay for digital content than others around the world. However, Brits are more willing to accept targeted advertising on computers and mobile devices. Some of the research findings make particularly interesting reading given the current move, by some newspapers, towards paywalls, and making readers pay to view online content…..

Well, working on this cool new website from Guernsey Post’s Philatelic Bureau was lots of fun for those involved at Oi. The e-commerce website is part of a campaign to promote its new Penny the Postie children’s book – a great present for young children…
Affordable & waterproof HD video camera.
July 29th, 2010 | Posted by admin
As a contributing writer for WideWorld Magazine, I was recently asked to go out and play in my kayak with a Kodak Playsport HD 1080p video camera. Naturally, I said yes.
Rather than a routine written review, I resolved to stretch my wannabe director’s legs and created WorldWide’s first cinematic gadget showcase (any excuse for more time out on the yak).
See the Playsport in all it’s waterproof glory, complete with 60fps@720p slow motion results here.

Back in April I posted about interactive billboards from IBM. Back then they only recognised colours, but I pondered on where this could go. In fact, here’s exactly what I pondered all those long months ago: “…but seeing as it’s all driven by software, the possibilities are endless. Imagine using facial recognition software to decide whether the ad is being viewed by a male or a female and then displaying a different, gender-specific message?”
Well…the time for pondering is over…
Simply WOW.

The smart fridge.
July 15th, 2010 | Posted by Nat Whitty
An intelligent, talking fridge is on the cards for industrial designer Ashley Legg.
She hopes to revolutionize the eating habits of those who always find an excuse not to cook a decent, healthy meal and instead opt for the easier, less thought involved option of ready meals. I have to admit I often fall into this category. It’s not that I’m generally lazy, it’s more that i have never learnt to cook or even really tried. Ok maybe I am a bit lazy in that respect. I think I need this fridge… (more…)
Jaws, jaws, jaws.

Another nice bit of work here, this time a bit more brash than DEVIL, but equally as cool (especially if you’re into movie posters like me). This beautiful domestic one sheet for Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D pays direct homage to Joe Dante’s original ’78 film and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. If you feel inclined to watch people in bathing costumes get eaten by fish, you can check out the trailer at the movie title link above.
The Devil’s in the details.

Beautifully simplistic yet killer execution for the first official movie poster of the new film DEVIL, produced by M. Night. Shyamalan.
