Do We Offend You...

...what do you mean, Yeah?

Our roster of 'Nu-Rave' websites continues - having started with Klaxons, then Simian Mobile Disco and Hadouken!, we've completed the set with the new site for Does It Offend You, Yeah?

We're really pleased with this one, the guys at Virgin gave us creative freedom on it and we added some nice little features - draggable windows and our media player complete with fullscreen viewing.

Feed Us

Our little feed aggregator is spreading like wildfire!

You can now see it gracing the new holding pages for The Streets, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. and The Zutons.

Notice how I said holding page - wait 'til you see what's coming next!

Hello Hello...

...I'm at a place called Vertigo. Erm, yeah it never was one of my favourite U2 songs. Sorry Bono. Now The Joshua Tree, there's an album. Although I did really like the latest one too.

Crashing on, we've just built a pretty sparkly holding page for Vertigo Records (so nothing to do with U2 at all then, really) and we thought we'd show it to you. It's built using some really advanced and complicated Flash ActionScript 3 stuff that I don't quite understand (we have a lad called John who works for us who does it, he's very good) but it looks pretty cool all the same.

Going Underground

We've just completed another site for the guys over at Warners, for the The Subways. There's going to be some more features added to this site as the campaign progresses, so keep your eyes peeled. We've also built them a fancy little Flash media player that plays both videos and audio, built entirely with Actionscript 3. Expect this to get bigger and bigger...

It's Snowing...

In Paolo-land!

Like most other agencies, we've spent most of December making things look all Christmassy. Unlike most other other agencies, we've actually got some real life snow to fall in Paolo's winter wonderland...

Classics?

We've just stumbled across an American Blog on 'Website Design Classics' - and nestled in between their reviews of the New York Times, Harrods, Google and Feedburner is a glowing review of the site we made for The Rakes.

"One generalisation in website design that usually holds up is that band websites will suck. Band websites generally encompass all that is wrong about usability on the web. I’m not sure why it is, whether bands want a flashy website to prove they are creative or to cover over the fact they are not...All in all this site is a beacon of clear design in an over the top segment and is a fitting website for the Rakes themselves. Credit due to Retrofuzz for a great design."

Can't Stop Moving

Another witty headline - we're on fire!

Anyway...

We think this is a bit special. We've taken feeds from all of Sonny J's community websites (Flickr, MySpace, YouTube, Moblog, Blogger etc) and combined them into a single news feed to create an easy way for users of the website to view all things Sonny J.

This also allows the artist to directly update their website through any of these means with ease.

Check it out:

Big up.

Whole Lotta Paolo

Paolo Nutini gets his site re-skinned to celebrate his forthcoming support slot with the mighty Led Zeppelin.

Living in a Material World

In the market for a £2000 backpack? Yeah, us too. Thankfully we've just created this little Flash gallery showcasing the colab between influential fashion design Raf Simons and Eastpak, known as Material World.

For those grubby Indie kids amongst you we've also just done a microsite for round 2 of the Eastpak Rockbags series - with bags designed by Kaiser Chiefs, The Prodigy, and The Hives. You can also see last years bags on there, designed by none other than Slash, Lemmy, and some guy called Ozzy?

Mission To Moscow

We've just been sent a couple of samples of the Super-Limited Edition t-shirts we designed for the Eastpak Skate Teams recent sojourn to the sickest spots in Russia. Za Vas!
