Just came across this recently… a time-lapse video of the night sky from an International Space Station by NASA… quite amazing!

Brandammo are pleased to have been involved in the post production and printing of the White Ribbon Alliance Exhibition “Dreams for my Daughter”

The exhibition is being shown at the south bank centre, London 8-11^th March

Launched for the 100^th International Women’s Day, 8 March 2011, Dreams for My Daughter is a unique collection of photographs and writings inspired by Hadhya Yahya Mohammed Al-Zawm, a young woman from Yemen where White Ribbon Alliance is campaigning for a legal minimum age for marriage. In a speech she gave at an event hosted by The White Ribbon Alliance’s Global Patron Sarah Brown, adhya said her mother had a dream for her – not to be married at nine as she had been, and to get an education.

The images have been shot by award winning photographer Joanna Vestey who has worked with many charity’s including World vision, The red cross, and Amnesty International.

If you get a chance its worth a look to see these amazing images and to show support for this important issue.

Following 50 hours of judging from a panel featuring 40 key figures from across the industry, The Brandammo Dunlop Biomimetics campaign is on the official roll call of short listed nominees for the Best International Sport Marketing Campaign category for the Sport Industry Awards 2012.

The campaign was selected from a high standard of entries including all the big boys, and to have earned a place on the shortlist represents an immense achievement for Bill and the team.

We will let you know how we get on.

Who doesn’t remember dancing in their bedroom to “Buffalo Stance” by the amazing Neneh Cherry? Come on……we all did, and some still do!

It was a really pleasure to work on these shots with Jamie and the team at Pop mag (out now)

Found this very useful from CSSBakery - To prevent unstyled text flashing up on the page before cufon is shown, apply .cufon-loading class onto elements which you have set cufon.

.cufon-loading h1 {
 visibility: hidden !important;
}

The Brief: Create a site that helps people plan their wedding or an element of it. Remember, this is the biggest day of their lives, so make sure the design strikes the right note!

Here’s a sneak peek of my entry into .net magazine wedding sites website build off, the magazine should be out in shops in the next week or so! Be sure to get it to grab a better look! I will post up detailed pics later!

.net Magazine Issue 223 (January 2012) – Page 112

The Magazine is now out, you can buy it from http://www.netmagazine.com or pop into WH Smiths or your local newsagent! You can view the full design here: http://mos.netmagazine.com/build/kt-223.jpg

Using the awesome carouFredSel, I’ve integrated it into a full screen carousel, so it scrolls the whole width and height of your browser window, if the body height is shorter than your browser height, the browser height will take precendence and vice versa.

Credit for the carousel goes to carouFredSel, I merely made it work to provide a fullscreen width and height solution into a plugin. You will need to get the carouFredSel Plugin and the jQuery Easing Plugin. It currently works with the latest carouFredSel plugin which is 5.1.3 as of posting, and probably will work with revised versions. This plugin has been tested in Latest Chrome, FireFox and Safari, IE 7,8 & 9. Please use the latest jQuery Release too.

It was great to see the amazing work of our creative team in this mornings edition of ShortList and the latest FHM. Dunlop asked Brandammo to develop and produce the ad campaign for their new Dunlop retro range. From the photo shoot, to the post production the brandammo team worked feverishly to meet and exceed client expectations. We hope you all like the ad’s
