So we use WordPress for most of our websites and web development. But Why? Over the last few years we’ve being making the majority of our websites on the WordPress platform, including this website. We began using WordPress to build our websites for client for a number of reasons. I’m going to try and go […]

Sometimes, after we have carefully designed the latest brochure or website for a client, they will ask us to move an element of the design from one side of the page to another, or just to make something bigger. It’s as easy as that to ask for – and in all honesty it isn’t a […]

Does Coke taste better out of a bottle?

Richard Palmer — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 13:12:02 +0000

I read in the news that Coca-Cola is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary by launching a commemorative set of it’s iconic bottles ‘through the ages’. Now I know there’s rich history in the evolution of the shape and form of the bottle – which can be seen on the company’s website, but the real issue is […]

Augmented reality – Hogwarts or Hogwash?

Augmented reality is in the news. You can’t move on the BBC for people holding iPads up to London landmarks to have video content magically appear in the cityscape – and it’s all very exciting. The idea appears to be to embed moving and talking images into everyday life – like the Daily Prophet or […]

Dyslexicon…

Dyslexia comes in a number of forms and can be highly debilitating for a sufferer. People often think that to help combat the detrimental effects on reading, a clear and uniform font is the key. This would make sense to an individual who does not suffer from dyslexia; the more complex a font, the more […]

Fool me once…

Micro-expressions… What are they? And why are they so small? Well! A micro-expression is the tiny and usually subconscious movement of muscles in the face. Typically, these micro-expressions are too fast and too subtle for anyone to notice with the naked eye and largely can’t be faked or inhibited, even if the individual is trying […]

Are you under the influence?

Hullabaloo — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:23:02 +0000

I was just reading an article about how the car door has been musically engineered over the years to always produce that satisfying ‘clunk’ sound whenever we close it. Organically, that noise would not occur with the modern built car, a much more tinny and unsatisfying ‘clink’ in its place. But, the designers realise that […]

Creativity in Mind?

Hullabaloo — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:19:34 +0000

According to the research – we are at our most open minded and creative, when our thoughts are in disharmonywith our body. So for example, if we are feeling happy yet pulling a frown, we are in a more creative mind set than when our expressions honestly represent our mood. I shall explain one of […]

Zombomination!

Hullabaloo — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:19:05 +0000

Are you prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse? You’ve probably heard about Leicestershire police admitting that they might not be as prepared as perhaps they could be, after being approached by a concerned citizen about the issue. Now it seems Leicestershires worst fears may becoming a reality. A 200 strong undead flashmob army is due to […]
