Our favourite hand lettering artist and one of TheTin’s Adobe Site of the Day winners, Alison Carmichael has received yet more accolades. Her work has been profiled in design bible Creative Review and is available to read here. She’s also sent us a beautiful litho print of one of her infamous promo pieces which shall be adorning our walls very soon, thanks Al!

Working with The Rocket Science Group, TheTin have created a chlamydia testing promo site for Leicester NHS as part of their viral campaign. Using a blend of technology including interactive video, Google maps & secure data processing, the site has a high impact value and is being used to boost the number of tests taken by 15-24 year olds.

Here at TinHQ we’re pleased to announce our first site launch of 2009. Our work for music production company Eclectic Sounds has just gone live…

Subtle use of Papervision 3D gives the showreels section a real lift whilst the gentle colour changes between sections make a nice change from total animation Flash experiences.

A slightly belated Happy New Year!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at TinHQ, with a number of new projects commencing and planning for our new Tinnovation initative beginning.

Building on last year’s research and development success, 2009 will see the launch of the Tinnovation blog and later in the year some exclusive Tinnovation events.

So shake off the credit crunch blues, take onboard the words of Sir David Tang, but most of all, in the words of The Hold Steady, Stay Positive!

In the run up to Christmas, what can be better then to spread some good cheer?! That’s what V, the organization that aims to change the face of youth volunteering in the UK, thought when they asked us to create ‘Festive Favours’, their Christmas campaign microsite. Living happily on www.vinspired.com  we’ve got some treats in store for those 16-25 year olds who want to get involved in local, regional and national projects. So check out our sparkly Advent Calendar Christmas Tree, with its Facebook widget, to get ideas on what you can do to put a smile on the face of friends and strangers!

CO2 is a big issue, and one that architects and building engineers struggle with on a day to day basis. Well, we’ve just made their lives that little bit simpler with clear and accessible information architecture and interface design for an online CO2 benchmarking tool. Championed by Aedas Architects and using software developed by the Building Research Establishment, CarbonBuzz has been developed by leading architects and engineers to benchmark and track project energy use from design to operation.  

BigFoot has had enough and he’s not taking any more! So watch out all rednecks and agency auditors – he’s armed and dangerous.

For all you mavericks out there who like to go their own way – this event was made just for you! Working closely with event marketing agency Cake, we designed a website to promote the week-long Black Sheep Pub event they held to launch Palm’s new smartphone, the Treo Pro. With its positioning as the black sheep in the smartphone flock, this event sought to establish the shiny black handset as the must have gadget for those who want the ultimate in highspeed sophistication, functionality and design.
