It was our lead developer Chris’s birthday last week. We bought him cupcakes from the lovely Crumbs and Doilies, and because Chris dreams in binary and solves problems with function();s we customised the cakes with some sweet sweet code.

As is the way with most design studios we spent a couple of weeks before Christmas scrambling to get something together to send out to clients, friends and anyone else we may have worked with over the past year. Despite being a digital studio, we were tired and unimpressed by 99% of the ‘digital Christmas cards’ we’d seen over the past couple of years and know that the people we work with are similarly unimpressed. We wanted to produce something that may be of some use and would hopefully engage with people for more than 5 seconds.
We decided on kicking it old school and printing a Newspaper featuring all the interesting things we’d seen, enjoyed and been inspired by in 2009. Videos, product designs, computer games, installations, experiments, interesting blogs and even some stuff that served no purpose at all. To run along side the Newspaper we built a mobile friendly blog featuring further info and video of the stuff in action. The newspaper features QR codes and shortcodes to enable people reading the paper to quickly jump to a video they were interested in or simply pull the blog up on their mobile device/computer and browse along as they read the paper.
You can see more photos in the Nation flickr stream and if you didn’t receive one and you like a copy of the paper send us an A4 envelope with 2 x 1st class stamps on it and we’ll pop one in the mail for you.
Our address:

Monday, August 10th, 2009So we finally moved into our new place in Hoxton Square, and at roughly about the same time we took on Rachel.
New Office looks good.
With a couple of projects in hand we quickly realised we needed help organising ourselves and the people we work with. Rachel is exactly what we were looking for. A Project Manager who knows how to communicate with sensitive design types like ourselves, but can take more than her fair share of jokes (she’s American, she’s used to defending herself against the British) and gives it back in equal measure.
Here’s Rachel, talking to BT on the phone (hence the angry face).. yeahpp loving the new studio.
If you want to talk to us about a project, or just say hello you can email Rachel directly (unless you’re the dude outside the window… in which case… put some clothes on, then maybe we’ll talk)
Say hello to Nation
