So, our Dickens app has only been live a few weeks, but it’s already been going gangbusters with people across the planet. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you can by clicking the link here. DICKENS FREE HERE. The kind people at Design Week have already named it as one of their apps of the year. You can read that here. READ IT HERE. This is not to mention the splendid coverage it’s enjoyed in the New York Times, The Londonist and Time Out. It’s our gift to you this Christmas. Have a wonderful break. We’ll see you all in the new year. Merry Christmas.
You know your Sky+ HD box, well it comes 3D-ready as standard. Isn’t that cool? The latest ad in our Better Effect series explains that Sky+ HD customers can watch telly in the third dimension absolutely free. How eye poppingly good is that?
While surfing the web the other day I came across these delightful posters from Division Of Labor. After a wee chuckle to myself, I decided to share them with my immediate neighbour – MD Juliet. She loved them so much she thought it would be a splendid idea to put one up in our HR department.
Our latest in techno wizardry is this exciting new app for the Museum of London. To coincide with the launch of their new Dickens exhibition we created an interactive graphic novel which contains a series of short stories written by Dickens. Narrated by Hollywood’s favourite bad guy: Mark Strong, each episode will be released monthly and if you happen to be in the area described in the story, you can download the edition for free.
It’s available on iPad and iPhone so pop over to theMuseum of London siteand get downloading.
It’s been a while since we have updated you on our little gallery in the boardroom. But we have a fantastic new photographer by the name of Nick Meek exhibiting. Nick’s work is bold and saturated, with a really modern feel to it. He also recently scooped gold at the recent AOP awards. Top Lad. Check out his site for more examples of his work.
We have an exciting opportunity for you. Our multimedia designer Helen is obsessed with Battersea Power Station and tattoos and is looking for an amazing illustrator to collaborate with for her next tattoo. Not only will your work be permanently etched on her skin for evermore but it will be done so by one of the best tattoo artists working in London today. Once a design has been selected the relevant tattoo artist will be selected to bring the design to life. But that’s not all, we will film the whole process and create a mini documentary from design to selection process to the tattooing itself.
Exciting stuff eh?
If that sounds up your street the brief is quite simple:
Design a tattoo based on Battersea Power Station, either a literal or abstract interpretation.
specs:
- black and white
- design within 15x15cm (doesn’t have to fill the space)
- keep the design simple as lots of detail will get lost
She doesn’t know where on her body the tattoo will be and will let your design influence that decision. So if you’re keen drop her an email helen.r@brothersandsisters.co.uk
