Print Catalogue
Photographic Exhibition

Hot of the press and delivered just in time for the London opening of the International Print Exhibition we wanted to show off this year's catalogue.

It's now four years since we won the contract to design the coveted catalogue. This sits alongside a wide range of other projects we currently handle on behalf of The Royal Photographic Society.

It's a beautiful item, which includes some amazing images and will be for sale through The Society's online shop.

Well done to all the successful photographers who were selected for this years exhibition.

World Wetland Network
Global Reach

We have just launched a couple of small scale, multi-lingual websites for WWN and WLI.

Both sites are using some fancy Google map API to feature Wetlands around the world and either allow the user to vote for their favourite (WWN) or view their facilities (WLI).

They may be small but they are perfectly formed.

Drive The A-Team Van
YouTube meets Google

I found this online and was overwhelmed at how well it has been done. YouTube meets the 3D Google Earth plugin…meets…the A-Team!

Click on the 'Drive the Van' button at the bottom of the video and find yourself driving The A-Team van in major cities around the world, or even drop into a fast run down Mount Everest.

After a while of playing you realise that if you keep driving you would actually be able to just keep going around the world and it all becomes a little overwhelming. Give it five years and higher-res mapping, faster fiber broadband speeds and a nifty pair of internet glasses and you will find yourself driving a real car through any city or landscape in the world.

WWT Consulting
Website Launch

We have just launched a lovely new website for WWT Consulting

The site includes some subtle home page Flash animation which helps bring the website to life, reflecting the environmental work they do. The site also includes a sophisticated Google map API integration allowing users to search and drill down into their global projects.

It also features a multilingual option including Arabic, Spanish and Chinese, which had to include a complete reversal of the CSS to account for Arabic text reading from right to left.

WWT Consulting is the UK’s leading specialist wetland consultancy and provides species surveys, habitat creation, restoration, management and visitor centre design services to clients worldwide. The consultancy is based at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, the headquarters of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust to whom it returns all of its profits to.

Marque-It website Live
New and Used Cars

We have just launched the BETA website for Marque-it. As a launch offer they are currently offering FREE ad space for people selling their new or used, prestige and performance cars (as long as they are over £8000.00). The offer will only be open for the next couple of weeks until the website is well-populated, so feel free to send it around to anyone you think might be interested. The first 20 get to go onto the home page featured ads. There is also a TV commercial being launched next week, so it should get some considerable user figures very quickly (www.marque-it.com).

Omni produced the 'Marque-It' branding, website, together with supporting printed marketing materials and the featured home page game. (Full case study to follow).

Happens to the biggest

Scarily, the YouTube website went down today for a few minutes, and we noticed that the BBC website went down a couple of days ago as well, which just goes to show that even the monsters of the net sometimes have bugs and server issues once in a while.

Note on the image below quite how bad the YouTube error message is. Not sure the developers would like to be referred to as 'Highly trained monkeys'? We also didn't cut off 'situat', that is how it displayed. :-)

We announced last week the start of the, oh so very popular, 'F.F.F.' campaign, standing for 'Finish at Five on Fridays'. 

It's all about enjoying a little more of life, a little more sun and a little more time for fun......all subject to delivery deadlines....obviously. ;-)

We are sure that heightened productivity and general moral boosting would more than balance out the loss of hours, or may even slightly improved on it, so we're willing to give it a go.

Jeans web design

Had to share some love for this really innovative website done for Wrangler. It's not a big site, you can't even shop on it...but in my opinion it has made Wrangler the most memorable Jean brand of the year, creating some kind of groovy interactive music video where the user can dress and undress the models, throwing them around the screen or making them dance. 

Very cool, very smooth work....Turn the volume up! :-)

IE6 web browser
No longer supported

After several previous blog posts about Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) Omni are announcing, (along with Google), that we are phasing out support for this bug-plagued browser during the coming weeks.

It has been a long time coming but this dated and restrictive browser is finally coming to the end of its life. 

Sparked by recent and well publicised security breaches, which allowed the Gmail accounts of human rights activists to be hacked in China, Microsoft has been forced to admit that IE6 was in fact the weakest link and this lead to French and German governments both advising the public to change their web browser to combat the security issue.

Don't get me wrong, in its time IE6 certainly did the job but a lot has moved on in the last few years. Microsoft has already released updated versions of the browser in the form of IE7 and even IE8 but due to slow action in UK government departments to update their systems, the browser has been hanging on long after its shelf life.

Up to now, developers have found that they are having to restrict themselves, working around what IE6 lets you actually do online. This is slowing down the progression of the web as a whole in dealing with rich and diverse media. Hopefully this new shift will mean a more exciting, safer and less risky environment for web users and mean that developers can move forward into new and exciting online arenas.

Body of Art
Social Network for Artists

Omni have just been commissioned to start work on a major new Social Networking website for artists to share their work, ideas, comments, skills and resources creating 'Body of Art', (BOA).

BOA will feature the highest rated, editors choice and most recently update artists profiles and help inspire and create a network allowing comment and engagement in an online artistic debate. The site will also house a resource for users to access information on art galleries, museums, related art material shops etc. 

BOA is an entirely new venture which Omni will help guide through concept into launch.

We are very excited about this project, and confident Body of Art will be a beautiful website and go on to become a major success and inspiration for artists around the world.

Happy 2010
Be gone 2009

Welcome back everyone, we hope you had a lovely Christmas break and we wish you all wealth, health and happiness for 2010.

So, Omni are getting off to a running (if not a little slippery from the ice) start to the New Year. We are days away from launching the new WWT Consulting website which looks lovely and is superbly usable. It also includes some smooth Google Map API integration and some very subtle Flash animation techniques.

The Marque-It website and brand is also close to launch. We are just finalising some complex database integration, as the site relies on vehicle registration lookup to supply lots of its core data.

The web team are also about to undertake two large social networking based websites so keep an eye on our news for more info on those.

Some other briefs in development at the moment are some slick motion graphics projects, one for a large scale internal conference (which we are not allowed to talk about I'm afraid but includes product builds, fly through and logo design on all conference items including t-shirt and name badges) and the other is a five minute brand film for a major international engineering business, which off the back of our proposal they described as, "the most creative project they have ever done".

We also recently launched a viral video campaign for NHS Bristol called Chlamjam which supports Chlamydia testing in young people. You can see one of the films here>> (but be warned…it's a little saucy) :-) Combined views to date for the campaign are 85,000.

All in all things are looking good for the start of the year, long may it continue.

Happy 2010

NexStor Website Launch
1248 products

A speedy turn around, a slick new website refresh and a happy bunny for a client. NexStor, who specialise in Data Systems Integration, felt their website was in need of a refresh to keep up with a competitive market place and Omni were happy to oblige.

We built their original site and Content Management System (CMS) almost five years ago now but the CMS is still bug free and worked fine so we simply plugged straight into this and refreshed the design together with an update to the CSS and HTML code to ensure it was clean and W3C standards compliant.

We are also working with them on eNewsletters and ensuring that their website is well placed within Google searches for their core products.

Some Client Love
The best so far

Just thought we would share a little client love with you, which is by far and away the most interesting testimonial we have had to date.

"You know those amazing sushi restaurants where everything your heart desires in sushi trundles towards you?

That’s what working with Omni was truly like. We asked, we got. Except there was no trundling. Just a beautiful, sparky piece of film that started out as one great flavour, before exploding into a whole rainbow of other ones.

If Omni was wasabi it would be so hot that it would melt your tongue to your spine, even then I’d still recommend you don’t be sparing in your application."

WWT Consulting website
Website Design and Build

Omni are very proud to announce that we have been selected as the agency of choice by The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (Consulting) Ltd, known as WWT Consulting, to design and develop their new website.

WWT Consulting is the UK’s leading specialist wetland consultancy and provides species surveys, habitat creation, restoration, management and visitor centre design services to clients worldwide. The consultancy is based at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, the headquarters of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust to whom it returns all of its profits to.

It's fair to say that it was one of the most pleasant web meetings we've ever had, concluding with a tour of their beautiful visitor centre at the WWT HQ in Slimbridge which was opened by Sir Peter Scott in 1946. This award-winning visitor centre overlooks 325 hectares of nationally and internationally protected wetlands. Together with the world's largest collection of swans, geese, and ducks, we also got to check out some otters and it was the first time our web developer had seen flamingos so he was happy.

We can't wait to get started. :-)

The guys have been working hard on a seriously tight deadline to deliver a touchscreen game to be housed on an exhibition stand for an international player in the medical nutrition industry.

The game is based around the classic Cup n' Ball and is communicating via three touchscreens into a server database which has been capturing user data for marketing and competition purposes. 

The stand has proved best in show with queues of people waiting to play and will go onto be used online via a link from their website and be repurposed for the exhibition tour.

We worked hard to ensure their website was well optimised for Google and they appear on the front page of Google for most of their 1500 products which has generated a great deal of new business enquiries for them.

This brand refresh will help them stay at the top of their game making it easier for them to stand out amongst a relatively crowded market place.

The RPS Website
In a new light

Established in 1853, Bath based The Royal Photographic Society (The RPS) has now firmly established its online presence with the launch of a new website design, adding significant value for members. Their Digital Agency of choice, The House of Omni, have been working closely with The Society to ensure they are widening their target member capture group without losing sight of their tradition, prestige and heritage.

The website includes the all-new Learning Zone which is an area for students or teachers of photography to find some project inspiration around various photographic genres such as Nature, Portrait, etc. Users can comment and feedback on project ideas so over time this will expand into a very useful education tool and is supported by The Society workshops and courses.

Together with a vast database of member portfolios and events running throughout the year, the site also has a multiple privilege Content Management System (CMS) giving The Society’s regions and groups from all over the world access to implement their own updates and create bespoke sub sites within The Society’s core website. All of this is supported by a new online shop, which communicates directly to The Society’s in-house Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) through some very complex APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).

The site currently supports 10,000 members and growing, together with 25,000 unique visits every month. 

“The Society has worked closely with The House of Omni for the past six years on numerous projects ranging from development of our corporate brand image and our prestigious international print catalogues, through to web design and interactive teaching aids. They have proved themselves a highly creative, technically competent, well-managed team who work with commitment and enthusiasm.”

“Their innovative approach has taken The Society forward with cost effective value adding solutions. With their ability to respond to briefs and get under the skin of a project, we really feel that working with Omni is not like working with a supplier but truly working with a partner."

We are stripping a lot of the dated legacy coding from the site which made it messy and clunky to update, and also integrating a new shop system which talks to their in-house CRM membership database of over 10,000 photographers from around the world.

3D Monitors
That's pretty

3D Monitors took another step forward today with the lunch of the full HD 3D Monitor Panel with Enhanced Brightness from LG.

Over in South Korea, the company has showcased a new Full HD (1080p) 3D monitor with what it says is the highest brightness level of any competing panel. Sadly, viewers are still required to wear glasses when ingesting the action, but this take on the tech enables said eyewear to be somewhat thinner and less cumbersome. 

Obi-Wan Kenobi would be proud.

Theres been quite a few ingenious alarm clock concepts of late. They all have one thing in common - force you to physically get up to turn them off. The Carpet Alarm Clock has taken this to a new level as in order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed. Of course it wouldn’t be a clock if it didn’t have and LCD screen to indicate time too.

We all know someone who could use one :)

UWE Website
Its foundation for the future

In a move to ensure the University of the West of England (UWE) creates a truly 21st century university, it has purchased land and buildings adjacent to its Frenchey Campus from Hewlett Packard (HP). The move will allow the university to re-think the configuration of the campus, make better connections and help integrate subject areas and services.

As part of the master planning, views and ideas will be gathered from all parts of the University and its partners in business and the community. Omni has been brought on board to develop a new website which will act as the central point of this communication, housing FAQ's about the development, blogs to keep everyone up to date, as well as forums and questionnaires to help gather useful feedback and opinion, ensuring UWE co-create an exceptional campus with the help of staff, students and the local community. All this helps enforce their new brand ethos of being Better Together.

Omni will also be producing a series of videos that will be used throughout the site to help keep everyone up to date with new developments.

Danco Website Launched
Marquee Hire specialists

We have recently launched Danco's new website, helping them secure their place as a major player in the Marquee and tent hire market.

Together with producing an on brand website that helped present their work, we were also asked to ensure that they improved their Google rankings, as they were aware that business was slipping away due to not being found.

It's still early stages, and Google has only just cached all the pages but on initial analysis Danco has seen a significant jump for key word searches, including first page results for more specific searches such as 'Marquee hire for Sporting Events', 'Marquee hire for Flower Shows' and local searches such as 'Marquee hire Bristol' etc. All these results have been naturally achieved from simply creating a well considered, clean website build.

We are very happy with these initial results and hope that this new web traffic helps generate a significant rise in enquiries and new business for Danco ensuring that their investment shows a significant return.

Omni and UWE
Better Together

UWE believe in the power of partnerships, and have had some 3400 interactions with 1125 businesses and community organisations from Aardman to Xerox. (No ‘Z’ titled companies yet…)

Omni have been commissioned to produce a dynamic live action / motion graphic promo for UWE that demonstrates their brilliant Better Together Brand and how their powerful industry partnerships create a richer real world experience for their students, who as a result of direct contact with these potential employers, graduate with excellent CVs to boot.

So far, we’ve been won over by Sir Richard Noble and the incredible 1000mph land speed record breaking Blood Hound, and Science Minister Lord Drayson and the UWE robotics department where UWE are leading the world in artificial intelligence. All impressive stuff and right on our doorstep too. Omni will be there to catch more of UWE’s pioneering work over the next few weeks with the promo to be released in the next month.

Palestine

Contrary to Bristol legend the famous Banksy Wall Art is not on the Israeli Defence but on an extension to the former protecting the tomb of Rachel (Jacob's wife). Furthermore, it has left in strips for selfious souvenir hunter's ebay dreams.

Intrepid Omni Developer, Simon Harrison, on a trip through Palestine has uncovered worse still. There are no flat screen monitors on the West Bank anywhere and the families on the Hebron front line suffer daily from Israeli intrusions and humiliations.

Wrap3 Branding
Branding and Website

Omni has been appointed to undertake the branding and new website development for Wrap3, one of Bristol’s fastest expanding creative companies, who is pioneering a new technology for 3D projection.

Wrap3 has already been commissioned by international brands that include the latest Bond film, Quantum of Solace, Chanel and the Arcadia Group. They use their innovative technology to project images, which wrap perfectly around 3D objects from exhibition stands to whole buildings, making solid forms seem fluid and dynamic. The versatility of the technique and its ability to create a bold, immersive experience in any room or environment, have made it an attractive proposition to global brands around the world.

Omni will work closely with Wrap 3 to develop a highly creative, dynamic and unique brand identity to position Wrap3 alongside its international client base. The new website will incorporate 3D animation using PaperVision3D– the latest development in Flash.

Sam Hearn, Omni’s MD said: “We love the work that Wrap3 do and have been looking for a project that allows us to explore PaperVision3D with real purpose. We are not just creating a website but marrying two technologies which seem to share very similar ethics – its going to be a lot of fun.”

Alistair Burleigh, the founder and creative force behind Wrap3 said: “Wrap3 was one step away from re-locating to London a while ago, then Bristol just won me over with it’s easy going but highly professional way of creative working. There is a real talent pool here as Omni prove. It felt like Omni understood my business from the first meeting, and we are really excited to be working together”.

The new site will be launched later in 2009.

Time Crisis on iPhone
How cool!

Many a happy hour was spent playing Time Crisis as teenager and now Namco has released Time Crisis Strike, for the iPhone and iPod touch. Similar to the popular Time Crisis arcade games, Strike uses a duck-and-shoot design, allowing users to tap on the screen to fire and tilt the iPhone or iPod touch to duck, take cover, and reload. 

Describe by Namco as "Adrenaline-pumping rail-shooter action has arrived big time in Time Crisis Strike." We'll have to see if it lives up to the hype.

The game offers two game modes—Arcade Mode and Crisis Missions—and is available now from the App Store for just under £4

Typefaces that we love
February 2009

Typography isn't just about being legible and looking great.

When we choose an effective font, among other things, we try and achieve two important objectives:
1) Create an appropriate atmosphere and enable users to develop trust towards the site or printed media.
2) Make sure your collateral gets the main message across and users becomes interested in the services offered on the media.

Below you’ll find the first post of some first-class typefaces for corporate design that we love. Please notice that they are not free; however, we believe that these typefaces definitely work.

Graphik
“I ended up drawing inspiration from all parts of the 20th century. The heavy end of the family is based in part on Paul Renner’s Plak, a relatively obscure display typeface cut only in large sizes of woodtype, that is related to his heavier weights of Futura but has rounder, friendlier, fatter proportions“. By Christian Schwartz.

Stag Sans
The normal/quirky balance is a bit different in the heavy weights, which are more likely to be used for enormous headlines. The final result is a perfect match for Stag, and also works as a muscular counterpoint to just about any elegant serif face.

Prelo
A large sans-serif family with 18 weights with ligatures, alternates, fractions, scientific inferiors, superscript, swashes, oldstyle figures, lining figures, tabular figures, numerators, denominators, ordinals and smallcaps.

Google Latitude
Ok so thats well nosey

Google is today launching software called Latitude that lets mobile phone users share their location with close contacts. The search will help people find each other while they're out and about and, more creepily, keep track of loved ones.

"What Google Latitude does is allow you to share that location with friends and family members, and likewise be able to see their locations," said Steve Lee, product manager for Latitude. For example, a girlfriend could use it to see if her boyfriend has arrived at a restaurant for their date and, if not, which of their mutual friends he was cheating on her with.

To protect privacy, Google specifically requires people to sign up for the service. People can share their precise location, the city they're in, or nothing at all.

The software spotlights Google's fixation with mapping and location technology. The company sees its geographic services as a way to establish a more personal connection with customers who today use Google chiefly for search. And of course money is involved, too: Google hopes its mapping technology will lead to location-based advertising revenue.

Google's power is firmly lodged in search and search advertising, but the company is trying to expand to broader online services. That includes online documents and various aspects of social networking, which are much more personal services and ones that put Google into more direct competition with rivals such as Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo. Like using Google profiles to contact information with select contacts, using Google Latitude tells Google who's who in your social graph.

Fancy a dip
Google goes under water

The latest version of Google Earth will map the 70 per cent of the Earth's surface that is underwater.

How mad is that? Take your hats off to the Google boys and girls for innovative thinking.

The new version, launched at the California Academy of Sciences, takes data from more than 80 organisations, including the US Navy, the National Geographic Society and the Marine Conservation Society.

It provides a map of the underwater sections of the Earth, including mountains, shipwrecks and the deepest part of the planet, the Marinas trench.

"With this latest version of Google Earth, you can not only zoom into whatever part of our planet's surface you wish to examine in closer detail, you can now dive into the world's oceans that cover almost three-quarters of the planet and discover new wonders that had not been accessible in previous versions of this magical experience," said former US vice president Al Gore at the launch.

The software includes up to 21 data points at various points in the ocean, showing everything from surface temperature to information on the underwater environment and images from deep sea surveys.

"Starting today we have a much more detailed bathymetric map (the ocean floor) so you can actually drop below the surface and explore the nooks and crannies of the sea floor in 3D," said John Hanke, director of Google Earth and Maps, in a blog post.

"While you're there you can explore thousands of data points including videos and images of ocean life, details on the best surf spots, logs of real ocean expeditions and much more."

The new software, version 5.0 of the code, also includes the first mapping of Mars, in partnership with Nasa. By selecting the Mars tab users can navigate over the Red Planet using the latest mapping scans from the space agency.

Google has also added a timescale function, so that images on Google Earth can be used to scroll through different eras to see how Silicon Valley grew and matured, for example.

More user information can also be added, including video clips, personal reminiscences and more detailed photographs.

See a video on the BBC website.

Breasts
...and the wonders of SEO

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a complicated beast that's always changing but one thing is for certain...put the word 'breasts' in your browser title and page content and your page will receive ten times more hits than any other on your site.

Every year Omni give what they can to breast cancer awareness day, and announce it on our online news pages. When working our way through the site analytics, it quickly became clear that this was our number one landing page. Ok...so the time spent on the site once they were there was a fraction compared to users who were genuinely looking for our creative and technical genius but still, it was fascinating to see.

It's no surprise that the sex industry has driven much of the expansion in the web, mobile content, SEO and rich media content delivery but it's just funny to actually see it in action.

We make it our mission to understand how SEO is moving forward, and how we can offer the best services possible to our clients, image naming, related in-bound links, targeted copy, optimized pages, web standards compliant site builds etc....We take our information from which ever source is most relevant. ;-)

NOTE: Sorry for all those other people who clicked on this link expecting something a little different.

Forgeting your shortcuts?

KeyCue

Did you know that the average Mac OS X application has 40 to 80 menu shortcuts?

Menu shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Honestly though, how many shortcuts keys do you know by heart?

KeyCue helps you to use your Mac OS X applications more effectively by displaying a concise table of all currently available menu shortcuts.

You no longer need to memorize and remember key combinations; just press the command key and KeyCue tells you what you want to know.

A new user interface for 10.6
'Marble'

Last year, Apple announced that they will be releasing the next major revision of Mac OS X (10.6 Snow Leopard) in 2009. The focus of Snow Leopard has been on performance and quality of the underlying codebase rather than introducing new end-user features. 

However according to macrumors.com, Apple will apparently use Snow Leopard's release to tweak the overall user interface for Mac OS X and unify it across applications. Exact details of the theme changes have not been made public, as the current developer seeds for Snow Leopard still retain Apple's existing Aqua theme. The new theme will likely involve tweaks to the existing design and perhaps a "flattening" of Aqua in-line with Apple's iTunes and iPhoto interface elements.

The codename for the new interface is said to be "Marble" -- though that seems likely to be an internal codename only. John Gruber had also hinted at such changes in a pre-Macworld prediction piece and had independently heard the codename "Marble".

Apple's Snow Leopard is rumored to be released as early as the first quarter of 2009.

Omni say any OS update which has a description which includes the words 'focus on performance' is all good with us.

We love our iPhones
New Web Browsers for iPhone

 

Brennon Slattery, PC World was had a hands-on look for the new Web browsers available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Edge Browser

The main feature of the free Edge Browser is that it removes the clutter from an ordinary Safari Web page to present sites in full-screen glory. Besides the reception, time, and battery bar at the top of your iPhone’s screen, you should see nothing but the page.

Problem is, all I saw was nothing. I loaded the browser, and as I was trying to figure out how you’re supposed to leave the Apple Store page, it crashed. When I rebooted the app, I got a blank white screen. So the edge of my browser was taken off … all the way off.

Incognito

Those of you who are fearful of getting busted for checking out less-than-appropriate sites on your iPhone will be interested in the $2 Incognito.

This browser leaves no traces behind from your wanderings on the Web. Once you close the app, so also disappears your entire browsing history, or even that you were online at all.

Incognito is useful for those with a company iPhone or the generally paranoid.

Shaking Web

Using the iPhone accelerometer, the $2 Shaking Web compensates for small hand and body movements by jiggling the browser’s screen. It functions by sensing movement and applying small but opposite movement to the viewable content.

I paced the office hallways looking somewhat like a moron, trying to read articles on the Web. It was still difficult and annoying. I had “turbo” turned on, which is not the default. Turbo applies forces in both vertical and horizontal movements, whereas the regular viewing mode only applies to vertical movements.

One of the bigger problems with Shaking Web is that it’s not completed. As of this writing, pop-up windows are not supported and sites requiring new windows to open links will not work. That’s a pretty big chunk of the Internet, so unless you’re hanging out on stolid sites, Shaking Web is not for you.

WebMate

Offering the closest thing to tabbed browsing for the iPhone, WebMate is a useful application for those who like to collect a series of Web sites for reading later. The idea behind the $1 WebMate is excellent, and I hope it spurs Apple to upgrade Safari. But WebMate on its own has one flaw: when you have two separate pages open, WebMate does not save the other tabs in their full form, so whenever you switch back and forth, the page has to load from the beginning all over again. This takes time that regular tabbed browsing does not.

It’s important to remember that these new browsers are all based on the Safari developer kit, and aren’t actual differentiations from Safari but instead, separate add-ons. I’d keep Incognito and WebMate handy and hope for continuous upgrades. With the right additions, both could prove to be better than the included Safari browser.

Pickled Egg website launched
Successful launch

The magical team of Omni and McFaul get together again to produce a new website for Pickled Egg, a fresh thinking Corporate Incentive company based in Chichester.

Omni worked successfully with McFaul a little while back on a Flash based, multi lingual website and a series of short, online commercials for Toshiba.

It is a first for us not getting involved in the design process, and it was fraught with challenges but we all got there in the end and the result has been well received and is serving them well.

Ok....so maybe this isn't news...but it is for us...Omni now have a table tennis table and it RULES!!!

Some may say it's a distraction and a waste of space, others may say it improves hand eye coordination, gets people away from their computer screens and sparks a bit of team camaraderie, (although it's more like bitter rivalry at the moment!). Either way it's great to have.

If any other agencies out there have one, let us know and we can set up some inter agency matches. 

Email: nochance@omniproductions.co.uk to try your luck.

Happy New Year
A little love

Happy New Year to one and all. I watched the news over the Xmas break and there was an exciting feature on people having a great time seeing in the New Year....and then the presenter said...."It's a shame this will be short lived because of the current economic climate."...unbelievable!! 

Here at Omni we are great believers in positive thinking and doing, and it's statements like this that broadcasters seem to spread into the world and make it a more difficult place. Enough of this economic blues we say!!

We wish everyone the happiest, most prosperous and fun year ever.
