There are some interesting handmade fonts on this site… if you're feeling too lazy to make your own. ;)
I feel nerdy posting this but it made me chuckle.
We’re very excited to announce a new working partnership with the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery to design & develop an online educational resource for public, students and professionals.
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery houses the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art works in the UK. The online resource will enable for the first time the general public to see the entire collection of over 3000 works. Alongside this we will develop tools for the creation and sharing of user generated essays, teaching resources and lightboxes.
We were shortlisted and subsequently selected for our unique design vision and technical expertise. We will be building the site from scratch using the new .NET MVC framework, all design and development will be handled in house. The project will launch in early 2009.
Nathan Fletcher recently sent us a bunch of posters so we thought it
worth reposting a link across to his excellent portfolio site, My Broken Shoe.
Nathan has a really great illustrative style. One day we’ll commission
him to make us something ace for us, in the meantime why don’t you!
Wowsers - this is amazing - it's a Ferris Wheel that is powered by your computers keyboard; each time you type the wheel lights up, spins and the dodgems ride the rollercoaster! Follow the link to the product site to see the wheel in motion.
Stefan Dembo is currently creating 30 triangles over 30 days. Have a look.
Wow - boxes and boxes of Beavers!
About a year ago I posted this great picture of the Star Wars Rock Band. Turns out it’s only half the image! Check the image below to see the full band!

If you have some spare time, and missed it last Friday, I'd recommend you watch this on the BBC iPlayer. It's only available til the weekend so hurry.
"Documentary celebrating the triumph, tragedy and human comedy that was Manchester record company, Factory. Started by the late Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville and Martin Hannett in the late 1970s, it became known as the home of Joy Divsion, New Order and Happy Mondays and for creating the Hacienda club. The label pioneered Britain's independent pop culture, creating a new Manchester and blowing a shed-load of money. Includes interviews with all the main players in the Factory story"
We’d like to offer a big “Hello” to two new members to the TAK! massive.
Joining us from Sweden is Chris Lind. Chris is a graduate of Hyper Island and will be busting some fresh skills focussing on Flash and digital design.
Jenny Prescott is from a bit closer to home and is hired as studio manager. Jenny will be overseeing all work passing through TAK! as well as focussing on client services and new business.
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Brett Meyer who recently moved to London to persue a freelance career down there. Brett worked on pretty much all the Flash websites we created over the past 3 years and we highly recommend hiring him for any Flash / Design / PHP work. Click here if you're interested. To say thanks, we invited Brett up to Birmingham to have a few drinks at the Moseley Folk Festival. We had too many. Check below for photos.
This video shows just how screwed we really are if a big ass celestial object decides to smack the earth up a bit.
For anyone reading this blog who lives in and around the area (or just passing through), I thought you may be interested in a Fun Day which my parents have been organising in memory of my brother... it's basically a nice day out in the country with lots of fun & entertainment (sheep racing, pig roast, bar and more) - it's happening on the 6th of September, you can see the full details on the poster below...
Check out the awesomeness in these… a company who custom makes rooms for kids…
