It’s proving to be a hectic time of year, we’ve just taken on a big run of work for Future Publishing, working on a range of exciting, fast paced projects. But we wanted to take the time to post up a few examples of the work we’ve been putting out since Christmas.

Challenges included overcoming a proprietary in-house framework, a somewhat outdated legacy codebase and an incredibly textured design produced by Aardman’s lovely design team. But we had great fun working with everyone at Aardman and managed to overcome the challenges to get the site live within a very tight timespan.

Just before Christmas we worked with the Cogent design team to develop a powerful “Christmas guide” application as a viral excersize. Visitors entered information such as location, musical taste and who they might be buying gifts for and in return got a customised Christmas Survival guide. The guide consisted of a range of information, from ideal gift suggestions from a range of online stores, music playlists pulling in videos from Youtube, local pantomimes and even some festive piccies from Flickr for decoration.
Everything was maintainable by the Cogent staff through a simple, Wordpress based content management system.
The guide’s not online anymore, but you can still try our demo.
