SPAM! [don't buy] dѧvid via Compfight

I manage and run a few websites for different clients and along with that is dealing with the spam that some of them get hit with. I have tools to deal with spam and usually only about 3-5% gets through the net.

This morning one of those slippery blighters got through then net which resulted in me literally coughing out a very audible giggle in the middle of the queue in the post-office.

Here is a screen grab of said email:

This made my day – what’s been making yours?

Happy Birthday WordPress

By WooYaa, WordPress, Work No Comments

Screen Shot 2013-05-27 at 22.26.29It’s the tenth WordPress of the awesome and brilliant WordPress platform.

WordPress has been a key tool for me over the past few years and has become an essential tool in my a**enal. I use it for both personal and professional clients and it has been the platform on which this site has been based since 2007.

I am so grateful for the amazing software and the fact that it is totally free and open-source.

Have some photos of our ride this afternoon ion Richmond park to celebrate – this stuff is the reason I started blogging in the first place:

New Ident for Digital Creative

By Profound, Video, Work 2 Comments

Idents are an important part of a production companies a**enal. They are a way of attributing work in  an impactful way and over the years I’ve made several different ones:

The first ident I created for my own purposes was the one for Mediachill which I was proud of at the time:

Then I wanted to created one for my blog as I was posting more stuff online and I was doing these silly vlogs (this period of vlogging didn’t last long) and this was the resulting ident:

That evolved into an equally silly ident several years later which I really like technically. I may even keep the ide of this one for something later but my face just doesn’t cut it:

Since then I’ve created a few more for other clients but I still hadn’t gotten down to creating an ident for Digital Creative. I had created a closing graphic arrangement which was good for sticking on the end of things but there was no real presence and didn’t fully represent what I feel DC is all about.

Today is different!

I was able to finally think about what I wanted and what would represent DC well. I wanted edginess, punchiness and attitude and I wanted something that reeked of professionalism but was also cool.

This is the new ident for Mark Robinson Digital Creative:

What do you think? What would you want in your own ident?
