We’ve been so busy of late we have zoomed right past out 8th birthday with barely a whiff of a cake, not even a cup cake.
Tsk tsk!
So without further ado, Happy Birthday to us!
A huge thanks to all our clients, from the last year and previous years. We wouldn’t be here without your support and trust.
So we’ve all go shiny new iPhone software that makes our phones super groovy again. The only snag is that stupid “parallax” scrolling nonsense they’ve brought in. I hate it, it’s such a gimmick and brings nothing to the party in my opinion.
It also means that those nice iOS6 wallpapers we did are now looking rubbish on our phones now. So the solution; spend ages working out exactly ‘how big’ are the wall papers now, what is going on with the scrolling, and can we create some similarly nice wallpapers for our phones again?
So what we’ve created is a series of wallpapers to match our various moods. Some bright, some calmer, but all of them a damn sight better on the eye’s than our old ones, plus they’ve been designed to take into consideration the new look-and-feel of iOS7 and it’s new folders and the way they zoom.
To use any of them, simply open this page on your iPhone and tap and hold the image of your choice. You’ll then be asked if you want to save it to your camera roll, and from there you can set it up as a wallpaper.
If you have a specific Pantone reference you’d like, just drop us an email or send us a message via Twitter.
We sub-let desks in our office space to help make our office a more diverse working environment and stop it all being about typefaces and Pantone® colours. As such we currently have one desk available to rent (lease) in our bright city centre office in Bath (Bartlett Street) available from the 1st July. Handy for local shops, yards from the top of Milsom Street and Assembly Rooms.
It’s £200 per month and includes use of our wifi and all bills (electric, rates). We have our own small kitchen with the usual essentials and a coffee machine, we also have free use of a shared meeting room.
You’ll be sharing with 5 individual owner businesses across media, digitial and intellectual property industries.
It’s a minimum 6 month lease. Sorry there is no parking provided (other than on-street metered). If you’re interested, please email us.
It’s no secret that I love my football, but every week we have the same dilemma on a Monday night. Working out who is coming is a doddle thanks to RocketSports, but picking the teams is always a headache. If you have even sides, it’s usually a bit easier, but when it’s odd numbers the problems are increased. Who to side with whom?
Luckily technology can help us with that problem and we’re super excited to be working with Keiran from IntoHand in Bath to develop a prototype Team Picking app for iOS and Android. Current offerings are hideously ugly and unbelievably bad to use – as if the people making them have never hear of UX or UI design.
Below are sample screenshots of what we hope to launch in the January.
The Load screen:
Your team screen, say who’s there and rate each player on your team:
Pick those sides – a nice BIG button!
Adding a player is a simple tap or two:
Edit your squad easily:
Voila! Your teams, picked based on your ratings. Get your ratings right and you’ll never have an uneven game again. It’ll work for any sport or occasion.
The end of November 2012 marked 7 full years of trading at Graphic Clinic. We started out as life as North & East in the winter of 2005, rebranded in 2009, and are delighted to still be here thanks to some fiercely loyal clients who seem to like working with us! A huge, huge thanks to all of you who have made the journey this far a delight.
We look forward to 2013 with excitement with some new work to be published in the new year and some great developments for our clients.
Our Creative Director Brian continues his hard work with the design lecture series LongLunch and has arranged a talk at the Design Museum on the 12th from one of the UK’s most prominent design agencies of the last two decades.
Intro’s Creative director Julian House will be talking about his design philosophies to a packed Design Museum, and then three days later will be flying to Edinburgh to do it all again for the Scottish Design community.
There are still a few tickets left for both talks, available via www.longlunch.com.
There will be free posters to give away, designed by Julian himself, and screen printed by Dan Mather.
Our creative director Brian, in his work with design lecture series LongLunch, has confirmed two up-coming talks this autumn. Moving Brands will be talking in Glasgow on the 4th October with a few minor details to be finalised and tickets due to go on sale sometime in the coming weeks.
The second talk will be in London at the stunning Design Museum, where LongLunch have already held four sold-out talks since their move from the Westbourne Studios venue. UK design industry behemoths Intro, in the guise of their creative director Julian House, will be taking to the (small) stage on the 12th November. Tickets will be on sale via the Design Museum in the not-to-distant future.
A new look for Englands “riveria” half marathon
We were approached at the end of 2011 to work with on some interim designs for the Plymouth Half Marathon in anticipation of a full rebrand for the annual event, this year taking place on the Queens Jubilee weekend. We took our creative lead from old postcards promoting the area as a holiday destination, picking out key landmarks on the marathon’s route such as the Tinside Lido, Smeatons Tower and the Hoe.
