Some time ago I did a little bit of design work for a company called PicPac over in Morley, Leeds. The main thing that struck me was the boundless enthusiasm and self-confidence of the founder/MD - a guy called Gareth Boot. Apart from the fact that he pretty much gave us carte blanche to do some interesting print and brand work for him, I really enjoyed working with him because of his strong will to make a difference in the world.
I’m not sure how successful he’s been so far, but he had the intention to set up a campaign to get a one-off donation of just £1 from colleagues/customers/people off the street so that they could send a container of food/aid over to Africa, and prove that everyone can make a difference, and that it doesn’t take much (something that I firmly believe also).
Any-hoo, pop over to http://www.pickingandpacking.co.uk/?pagename=make-a-difference to see what he has to say, and to find out a little bit more about his company.
Love to your mothers.
One word…
I reckon it’s gonna be bigger than SpaceBook and MyFace put together. Remember, you heard it here first!
Holla!
Following a previous post where I coveted Whitevoid’s use of the Papervision3D library for Flash, I’ve had a quick play about. The result is largely inspired by the PicLens plugin for Firefox, and is very much a first stab in the dark with Papervision.
Shoot over to http://assets.pcreate.co.uk/photospace/ for a quick gander. It’s quite clever actually - all of the images are loaded in dynamically using an external XML feed, so should provide interesting results when hooked up to Flickr or some such.
Click on the images to take a closer look at them. Use the icons in the top left corner of the screen to do interesting stuff with the images (and reset them), and bask in full-screen glory using the button at bottom right.
I’ll have a bash at improving it later, when I get a spare bit of time.
Peace out. Love to your mothers.
I have created yet another theme for this site, and at the same time I decided to upgrade my installation to 2.5. Everything went perfectly smoothly, except that WordPress would keep reverting back to the default Kubrick theme after I had left the site.
Anyway, I’m sure there’s a much better work around, but all I did was copy my new theme folder and rename it ‘default’ (after backing up the Kubrick theme, of course). It seems to work (hopefully you can see my new black/grey/green theme right now!).
I’m sure that this bug will be sorted shortly, but just in case anyone else is having the same problems and need a short-term fix.
More on the site redesign shortly.
