We’ve been invited to attend Picnic 09! We’re really excited to have the opportunity to attend one of the best cross-discipline conferences in Europe.

Picnic is a ‘Cross-discipline platform for creative conversation and collaboration. It’s a unique festival featuring a strategic conference, complimented by hands-on workshops and matchmaking sessions.’

The line up is pretty mean, we’re especially looking forward to the talk from games guru Peter Molyneux. This is the man responsible for the tens of hours we put into playing Fable. Luckily we kept track of the time we spent playing the game and now we’ll have the opportunity to bill him for lost productivity.

look out for tweets and pic very soon

We’ve just added a link to the work we did for Dance for Life (site design, build and branding). The site has been up and running for a few months now and is still looking great.

Thanks to Emma B for teaching us how to pop and lock. As soon as we’ve figured out how to combine it with our River Dance breakdown we’ll be one step closer to ruling the world!

Going Blind In Style http://www.grantmidwinter.com/blog/2009/08/going-blind-in-style/ http://www.grantmidwinter.com/blog/2009/08/going-blind-in-style/#comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:08:28 +0000 Mr Grant http://www.grantmidwinter.com/blog/?p=127 Retrospectd

It’s a well known fact that all designers have bad eyesight. All those long hours in front of a dark screen in damp atmospheric conditions with nothing more than a mug of coffee to call your friend, add up. With this in mind we decided to launch a site dedicated to one of our favourite subject here at the Grant Midwinter HQ.

Glasses. Not just any old spectacles mind you ohhh no, we have style! So much so infact that we’ve had the backing of many top designers in our efforts to create our journal dedicated to classic eye wear Retrospectd.

You lucky pups get a sneeky sneeky preview at our latest venture here Retrospectd. Lets us know your thoughts as the site is still in beta and the official launch isn’t for a few weeks. If you have good ideas they may make an appearance on the site so please get in touch!
