Busy on this, my forum, life in general really ... I'm always reading if not talking!
Baby t-3 weeks/2days :)

Yes more "pro" was the intention, te last one was a bit "student" but did reflect us at the time... This is more an accurate reflection of the business 18 months in...
New office, new website, new brand.. Tiss going well! :)

Very contemporary, without being too over the top or "stiff" - top work fella. (Some of the example photos are none too shabby either, and now we know why you tidied your living room! ;))

I hate all the photos on there ... They don't reflect a good enough standard for me ... (apart from marks cables which is just about there and my livingroom (correct by the way)
But we did have to sneak in the shots of Helen chamberlain off of soccer am, James wade the darts bloke, Claire Martin of jazz and what's his chops tiffenboum (not sure how its spelt) of linn fame ... :)

Don't want to sound defensive but I don't think there is any use of drop shadow tools ... Where are you talking about??

.....

Cheers Neil! :)

I like it Hamish, really good looking, I especially like the 'wooden block' icons. You should do a series for OSX Lion when it comes out!

As for the drop shadows... oh the drop shadows... staying away from them is just good advice even if you don't need it ;)

Any design technique can work well in the right circumstance ...

My forum logo for eg ;)

It's when people use that sort of thing because they don't know anything else that it tends to look wrong or out of place ...

... The icons were a little apple inspired I think
We just went a bit mad and rendered them all in 3G studio max ...

No need to appologise matey! Was just confused ... Are you talking about the reflections of the cubes then? Not sure how he did it really ...

From a few years back that now... They have someone in house now ... That was a hard job I can tell you!! He was one hard to please chap!
If you did buy something from thier online shop it would probably someone I know packing it and sending it out to you ... It's a small town Worcester is :)

Yeah, I used to live around the corner ...
For some odd reason, most of my of mates have worked there at one time or another ... I got the job through my mate Gianni who used to run thier web store, they only got me in to advise on setting up the lights as they were moving toward doing it in house, and I lived within 2 mins walk... I ended up doing 2 seasons worth of clothes for them ...
The chap who runs it also owns a pub just round te corner from where i live now ... As I said, worcester is a small city! :)
It's not my cup of tea if I'm honest! I'm more of a next Jeans and primark polo neck t shirt man :)
