Continuity – A Beautifully Simple FLASH Game!
Remember when flash websites were the big thing? When you couldn’t really go on a site without it having its own loading bar and a billion moving parts? When the navigation was so bad you were confused within seconds of getting onto the site and, having spent ages waiting for it to load, left immediately? Well thanks to social networking and everything having to be “simple” and “clear” this all changed.
The London Co-Creation Hub Visual Identity Project Winners!
Finally… Winners Time!
Just before Christmas we set you the task of coming up with a logo for The London Co-Creation Hub. The London Co-Creation Hub is a brand new company focussing on integrating people, like you, into the marketing, branding and communication process.They wanted their logo to reflect their open approach to business and how they get consumers involved in everything they do.

10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #9 No More Recession
Throughout the latter part of 2008 and the whole of 2009 there was one thing that dominated headlines… the stupid, stupid, idiot face Recession.
Now there is no point in going into all the negatives about the worst global economic crisis of our generation. Instead let’s use this time to take a positive approach and celebrate the fact that, technically, it’s over!
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #8 Project Natal
Even though Nintendo’s brightly coloured, family friendly games did everything to hide it, the release of the Wii was a landmark in home video gaming.
The Wii’s wireless, 3 dimensional hand held control system allows users to play a more active part in games, a first for any home gaming system. The Wii is really cool but essentially, it’s just a starting point for motion in video games. This year Microsoft are looking like they will blow the Wii out of the water with Project Natal.
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #7 3DTV
The phrase “3D is coming to your living room” was being bandied around freely by the likes of Panasonic, LG, Samsung and Sony at the International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month. 3DTV has been on the technology radar for years now but despite the hype it is set to be more of an extension to High Definition TV rather than the full on hologram in your living room effect that we were all hoping for.
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #6 William Tempest
Fashion is an ever changing beast, it never sleeps, it never sits still, it is forward thinking and always built for the future, hence why its seasons are the wrong way round! The fashion world is driven by designers whose job it is to look to the future and identify what people will want to wear in it. So, to be seen as the next big thing in fashion is kind of a big deal, you are a visionary, a trend setter and you know what people want.
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #5 Lego Universe
Lego in its original format was simple stuff, you bought it, you unpacked it, you stuck it together, you built stuff, you smashed it and you put it back in the box. Nowadays though, Lego is so much more than Pirate Ships and Petrol Stations. There are tonnes of Lego products including video games, Bionics, Architecture, Exoforce and even Lego Sponge Bob Square Pants.
Now as a Lego purists all these new and commercial products can’t really touch the real thing, however there is one thing that Lego are doing that has got the whole of the internet (and the Headbox office) buzzing….
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #4 Politics
Politics? Why, why, why, would anyone ever look forward to politics??
Well… allow us to explain:
In 2010 a General Election is inevitable, if you’re 18+ you will have the opportunity to get out there and vote for who you want to lead Great Britain for the next four years. Now this in itself is pretty standard, it’s the way that our
10 Things to Look Forward to in 2010: #3 The World Cup
Yes we know it’s obvious but, come on, there hasn’t been a UK representative in a big international football tournament since 2006! Luckily for all of us in England (sorry Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and… the robbed… Republic of Ireland!) The Three Lions cruised through the qualifiers and will be taking part in the big one.
For the first time in World Cup history the tournament will be hosted by an African nation
10 Things to look forward to in 2010: #2 Inception
Christopher Nolan is the man who can do wrong. Making his big break in 2000 with backwards murder mystery Memento, Nolan has gone on to direct a string of blockbusters making him one of the most sought after men in Hollywood.
With Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight in his repertoire Nolan has set the bar very, very high for himself. His next film, Inception, is scheduled for a summer 2010 release and if trailers are anything to go by, Nolan has come up with another action packed masterpiece.
