I have been doing some research for a client brand workshop and have come across some really insightful information that I am going to have to post up including this handy little graph on screen resolution saturation.
Until a couple of years ago screen resolution used to be a huge factor when talking to clients about website design. There was a period of shift over a number of years from 600×800 to 1024×768, and trying to convince clients to make the jump to the larger resolution was like trying to get blood out of stone.
Providing multiple designs over two formats, illustrating cut-off points, explaining grids, trying to explain benefits of static versus fluid templates, text re-sizing blah, blah, blah. This was not only time consuming but soul destroying. Oh how we laughed and cried behind the scenes…
With 57% of screens now above 1024×768 could we be swiftly approaching the next jump up to 1280 or even 1680?
Let the pain begin again!
We had a Harvest photography competition down on the Southbank. We put some rules in place, objects to find and set a time limit! We also provided teams with a Lomolito disposable camera each and let them loose on the unsuspecting public. Here are a few of my favourites.
It was a great night out that ultimately ended up with us having a few too many beers!
I would highly recommend you have a go yourselves (the photography that is…)
Tomorrow is the weekly gathering of the Harvest Digital creative breakfast club. Monster making was the order of the day two weeks ago and last weeks mission was to start ‘tweeterhunts’ a new invention! We left messages through soho and encouraged people to tweet names on the postcards, add your name to the card and hide the card somewhere new.
Within an hour we had our first tweets! Let’s see what tomorrow brings…
After a successful two week stint at Excel last year, our auto bot was lost for months in a haze of interactive groupies and tech heads. He miraculously returned to us this week nearly a broken man and is now keeping guard at Harvest towers.
Already a firm favourite with clients who can’t keep their hands off him!
Is it me or has it become an English obsession to always focus on the negative?
I know it always happens with English sport but at the moment the British press are obsessed with giving us a daily dose of how bad the world is, how we are all going to succumb to the global downturn (credit crunch, doom and gloom, credit crisis, please feel free to insert your own) and that life in general will never be the same again so why bother.
Well it was nice this week to receive an email from William Corke (Harvest Digital) with a positive spin on the whole situation.
Subject: Nice upbeat comment from Audi’s CEO
When Rupert Stadler, Audi’s chief executive, was asked how his company was preparing for the downturn last autumn, he replied: “We heard about it, so we had a board meeting and discussed it thoroughly and have decided not to participate.”
