Skate the 'Wild' Way - website launched
Being a keen ice-skater myself, I jumped (no pun intended) at the opportunity to rebuild a website for Alan Wild, one of the skating coaches at Silver Blades Altrincham.
The primary driver for developing Alan's new website was to attract more business. With this in mind the requirements were set to drive more traffic to the site, improve SEO and to raise Alan's online profile.
Interactive Flash wheel for ICE
In order to clearly illustrate the benefits of membership, the Institution of Civil Engineers asked us to produce an interactive guide for display on their website. Our response was to create the benefits wheel, which allows users to quickly navigate through their extensive benefits package and learn more about each benefit. The wheel can be controlled through keyboard or mouse input and was developed using Adobe Flash.

French pixel art
French office workers, not being content with flicking elastic bands at one another or supergluing each others' mouse to their desks, have come up with a new way to relieve the boredom of their working days. They have begun to create works of art, based on their favourite cartoon and video game characters, using that much overlooked creative medium - The humble Post-It note. There are some fine examples here at geekosystem and more here at The Guardian, showing the wonders of this pixel art in all its lo-fi glory.
It's on days like this we wish we had bigger windows.
