Just been fooling around with an online picture editor called picnik and was nicely surprised by the loading graphic. Instead of the usual 74%…75%…yawn… The bar prepares you for a lovely picnic in the sun with birdsong and lashings of ginger beer.

It’s been a busy start to 2008. After a couple of false dawns and arguments over the perfect speech bubble shape, our new site for Coca Cola Great Britain has gone live. You’ll notice that apart from a nifty little animation*, Let’s Get Together is fairly empty at the moment, well, that was always the [...]

Ever wondered who writes ‘View Blog’?

Well, today it’s been me. I’ve been writing the error messages and instructional copy for a large corporate site. I don’t know what I’ve done in a previous life to deserve such a task, but whatever it was it must’ve been bad. I actually found myself trying to re-write ‘send to a friend’. ‘Send to [...]

Mod Your Rod Our latest idea for Condom Essential Wear was a long time coming *fnar fnar*, and almost didn’t make it! Originally called P*** My Rod, we partnered with a ‘well known’ music television channel. Unfortunately, its big US boss person pulled the plug on the project. Boooo!After a few more changes (and recording [...]

I really hope that this is a hoax. The sick news is, that in some American states it’s legal for a thirteen year old girl to marry with parental consent! Testimonial from site… Our 15 year old daughter Mary wasn’t very popular and did nothing but mope around the house bringing everybody down, so we [...]

Speech bubble hell

We’ve been working on a project about conversations and opinions and needed a logo. Our designer came up with a great solution using speech bubbles. Now I can’t stop seeing logos with speech bubbles in them. The logo works, the client’s happy. I feel dirty.

We say support She Says
