Print Geek Talk #1

Si — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:35:16 +0000

Ok, so here at Cloud 9 we do have more than one type of ‘Geek’.

Ash is obviously brimming full of web type geekery but it does spread over to me on the Design & Print side of things here at Cloud 9 too.

I’m Simon and this is the first part of my ‘Print Geek Talk’ posts.
I could have included all things technical to this post but I wouldn’t want you to be all geeked out straight away!

The aim of these posts is to give you understanding of those jabbery words we use without even thinking about it, that you might well wonder what we are actually going on about!

So keep your eyes peeled for more Geek related posts.

Cookie Monster sang about Google 27 years ago

Ash — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:37:56 +0000

Yes, it came 16 years before Google ever existed and yes, technically the song is about Cookie Monsters googly eyes, but some how it still sorta fits as tribute to the search engine giant.

The Google Story

We all love Google right? Of course you do. Ever wondered to yourself “Man I wish I could see the history of Google in a really cool animated way. Maybe like a scrapbook style?”.

Well lucky you

Great Examples of Packaging Design

Ash — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:54:44 +0000

These are some really great examples of how package design should be done. I wish we had more products in our shops that had packaging like this.

Make sure you see the last one in the list!

Coke Vintage Packaging

Old times, old times. We really miss packaging like this.

Why I wish I was American and a PC user

Stuck for ideas on how to crank up the fun at your Windows 7 launch party?
Well, luckily, Microsoft has produced a brilliant guide to throwing a bash in their honour.

Sometimes it hits me hard; how unfortunate I really am being a Mac user living in the UK…

Thanks to the guys at Creative Review for this one.

My first blog post.

Val — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:37:46 +0000

Hi I’m Val and this is the very first blog I have ever done!

Sorry it has taken me so long to do it but we have been really busy and a lot of my time has been taken up integrating our new ‘Traffic’ cost and job control system with our accounts package. It is now all up and running smoothly so I hope to be able to tell you a little bit more about myself soon.

Best animation I have seen yet.
