Those super-talented kids from Hyper Island have been in touch to say they’ve released a teaser-trailer for their upcoming showcase website. I’m always astounded at the quality of work Hyper Island students turn out, so this site will be one to keep an eye on.

Visto Brahma Competition

January 8, 2008

We got this press release from Visto Brahma some time ago regarding a design competition, but stupidly on our part the email got trapped on a different machine.

Still, designers like to work to a tight deadline (this one is the 25th January), and with a rather tidy £5000 to be won, plus the chance to see your work actually on the beer/packaging, some of you might fancy a bash this weekend.

From Brahma…. “All you have to do is create a design based on the spirit of Brahma and Urban Brasil – originality, authenticity, style and flair – and submit it via post or our website www.vistobrahma.com. It’s a pretty open brief – take the flowing curves of the Brahma bottle, immerse yourself in the vibrancy and spirit of urban Brasil and let your imagination run wild. Then, do what you do. Your work, in your style, in your way. Just make sure that the work reflects Brahma.”

You can get all the details from their website, but we must clarify that this competition is solely for UK residents who are over 18.

CSS Artillery

November 11, 2007

Being a web designer and front-end developer,  from time to time I find CSS galleries a good source of inspiration. There’s a new one around that’s looking promising in the form of CSS Artillery. It gets updated often so it’s a handy little bookmark.

Problems at Dirty Towers

October 28, 2007

Unfortunately we’ve had a major hardware problem over at Dirty Towers. Whilst the site remains online, (the major failiure was on an offline machine), we’ve lost most of the content we were hoping to put online in the coming days.

We’ve had a few emails off people who wanted us to mention them, but due to losing everything (and we do mean everything - work, music, years worth of emails etc..), can anyone who mailed us in the past week please get in touch so we can feature them. We definitely had a couple of rather nice photography portfolios we were hoping to show off, so please just re-send your information.

Ta very much!

For this purpose, Dani has asked a total of 10 designers and design studios to participate in this project with its art and design.
