Kidz Klub Coalpool

April 26th, 2007

I’ve been involved in Kidz Klub (admittedly on and off) in Coalpool for a while now, and this year I got to design the boards we use as a backdrop to the games and stuff we do with the local kids.

I’ve loved working with the whole team over the last couple of years, and all credit to Esther, Sarah and the guys for the sterling work they do.

Unfortunately, we’re up against it as Walsall Council in their wisdom have decided to stop charging us the £20 per week rent we used to pay and increase it to £100! How nice of them. Obviously the KK needs to keep going, so any fundraising ideas (or indeed donations) are gratefully received.

I put together the original design in good old Fireworks, the scale was a little off tho.. whoops!

Boards Design

The design was then transferred onto the boards using a combination of bits of string, pencils and one massive ruler. Hannah then got to work painting…

The finished thing (although not quite the same as the original) turned out alright… Dee provided some lamiate stickers for the 4 points (which looked awsome, thanks Dee).

Photos of the whole process are this way…

Ebay Firefox Companion

April 15th, 2007

Firefox Ebay Beta

Mozilla have just announced the alpha version of a new ebay plugin for Firefox that looks pretty awesome. You can sign up on the site for an alpha test when it’s launched later this month.

If you’re a fan of Firefox and an ebay user then this may be the very thing for you. A secure and quick way to keep an eye on your ebay stuff built right into your browser. Sweet.

Glaxstar

April 11th, 2007

I’m making a career move! After three happy years at Trinity Design I’m joining Glaxstar as thier web designer / interface person / possible tea maker, and I can’t flippin wait!

While this sees me not making my much anticipated move down south, it is the sort of opportunity I’ve been waiting for after Paul’s had his Ning Thing now it’s time for a bit of Glaxstar action.

There’s some pretty big things in the pipeline so keep your eye on the website for the next few months as Glaxstar unleash their new “big thing” on the world.

;-)
