Tonic

Tonic go to Glastonbury 2009 as heads, courtest of Tal Woolf, Junior Developer.

Thanks Tal-we had a blast!

Tonic designer Jamie recently posted an article on the Design Assembley blog entitled:

‘Is a photo worth a thousand words?’

“We live in an age where we are able to view an almost endless amount of content (TV shows, films, images and more importantly user-generated content) whenever we choose through the internet. On demand is a phrase that is constantly being used in the media, and this week Channel 4 announced they were adding their back catalogue of over 10,000 titles to 4OD…..Read full article

Tonic talk at RSVP London 09

Our managing director Ranzie gave a seminar at this year’s RSVP event on how digital technology can enhance events through emerging technology.
We talked about how to most effectively employ forward-thinking strategies to enhance your events without breaking the budget.

Feel free to get in touch for a copy of the presentation

A collection of creative talents have come together to produce the new advert for the housing charity Shelter, entitled ‘House of Cards’, to highlight the fragility of the UK housing situation.

House of cards was created by Leo Burnett  Framestore, Blink, Outsider, Saddington & Baynes, soundtracked by Radiohead and voiced by actress Samantha Morten;

All of whom donated their time and services for free.

How lovely

In the aftermath of the very successful Tonic party and after party…

There must be calm.

I’ve been in Brighton soaking up some culture and preparing for flash on the beach

If you don’t know what FOTB is

“Flash on the Beach conference is the premier Flash conference in Europe!”

“Nearly 50 of the world’s most talented designers, developers, creatives, film makers and artists presenting on 3 tracks over 3 full days”

Check this space over the next couple of days for some more posts on the best things going on down here by the sea.

Every night our studio team diligently email an off the cuff visual reminder to complete our timesheets. Nice one Bridget - this is one of my favourites. Although I’ve not done my timesheet yet so better get back to it.

Regrettably, I have agreed to appear on CBBC Beat the Boss - where 3 smart kids are pitted against 3 industry professionals to design an innovative product. What started off as a bit of harmless PR could turn out to be a bit of a shocker as the kids are actually a bit good. Not sure I’ll be able to live it down if the ‘Big Shots’ lose.

We’ve been invited to talk at User Friendly 2007. A 3 day design conference in Beijing bringing together 700+ usability practitioners, designers and technologists from across China and the world. The theme of our talk is the balance between brand experience and user centred design. If you have any views on this please comment - as it will most likely find it’s way into my presentation.
