Dusted

We honestly can’t get enough of baking it would seem, jumping on any excuse to pre-heat our ovens and flour down our sides. So with the arrival of the Easter holiday season we once again decided to pit our baking wits against each other in another bake off! This time round it was decided that ...

After the success of 2011’s Dusted Bake Off, which saw us competing for mince pie glory, we decided to repeat the event. This year though we settled on gingerbread as our weapon of choice. So, in a similar vein to last year, we were to bake and construct our own creations of gingerbread. These ginger ...

On my day off I decided to reproduce the Dusted logo through CSS. CSS3 properties have allowed us to reproduce some images and icons purely with code — whilst it is pretty cool, it also has some disadvantages. From left to right: The original JPG, CSS and CSS — but without border-radius. As you can ...

Dusted were in Wales last month, assisting Harrison Catering with their ISBA (Independent School’s Bursars Association) conference stand. Spanning two days, this annual event is an opportunity for catering companies such as Harrison, and other services relevant to the independent schools sector, to exhibit their company and network with clients, prospects and competitors. Last year, ...

So the FIFA World Cup has come to an end — but what’s more important than Spain beating the Netherlands and lifting The Cup for the first time? The Dusted Studio Fantasy Football League of course. Congratulations go to Jamie for winning (some might say predictably, but Paul the Octopus didn’t see it coming). The race ...

It’s that time of year again when a load of web designers converge to hear a little about what their future may hold. Not a geek psychic fair (although there are plenty of predictions) but the Future of Web Design conference. After attending a couple of these previously I was in two minds whether to ...

Adobe and Apple have been at each other’s necks in a sort of corporate, well-mannered wrestling match – and it’s all over Adobe’s ubiquitous Flash plug-in. Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs has gone on record saying that the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad will never support Flash, citing the abilities of HTML5/CSS3 as well as the closed ...

They say never work with children or animals, but this advice was quickly forgotten when Dusted was appointed to design and develop the website for the new kids collectables, Top Dogs – the first in a series of Ani-mates from partworks publisher, Mini-Mix. Anyone with younger kids will appreciate the collectable craze that can sweep ...

We recently launched a brand new website for Depiction Lab, a design consultancy specialising in the creation of branded environments for the retail, commercial and leisure sectors. The site was to be quite standard in terms of its content, with news, a portfolio and company profile. However the visual approach was more adventurous, meaning that ...

We think partnership and sharing is a recipe for success. As with many great partnerships, chocolate and caramel work exceptionally well too. It’s our sixth birthday, so as a big thank you to all our clients, we thought we’d celebrate by sharing a box of Charbonnel et Walker’s lightly dusted plain chocolate enrobed truffles. Founded ...

Following our win in the inaugural Caterersearch.com Web Awards last year, its great to see the website we designed and developed for Harrison Catering also shortlisted for 2009. The awards were launched last year to recognise and reward the organisations and individuals involved in designing, managing, marketing or promoting food sector websites, judged on a ...
