And so the Sh! Awards return for their eighth year in 2010, organised and judged by some of the top digital agencies in the north of England, this has to be one of the least known, but best creative student awards around - maybe they’re keeping a little too quiet about it!?
“That’s all good, but why dedicate an entire post to it?” I hear you say… well, because we won it last year of course!

Facebook is the most popular social networking platform with over 400 million active users. It is a great tool for free promotion and engaging the general public, and due to this the Facebook Pages have become very popular with all types of organisations and celebrities.
The Static FBML application enables you to add custom boxes and tabs to any Facebook Page, allowing complete customisation of sections using Facebooks markup language; FBML, which is based on HTML. In this post I’ll explain how to install Static FBML and implement it on your very own Page.

Ok, so it’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally managed to find time to read my copy of LogoDesignLove by David Airey… and I have to say, it was a really great read. I think that anyone in the creative industry could learn from it, whether you are a logo designer, web or graphic designer, copywriter, photographer, whatever, there is something for everyone to take away to make them better at what they do.
The first three chapters which fall under the title ‘The Importance of Brand Identity’ are obviously completely focussed on branding and logo design, however, chapters four onwards could actually be applied to many creative industries and this is why I think that it’s an essential read for anyone starting up in business. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that even the most established freelancers could gain from it…
