Dusted

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 ...

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 ...

Following Dusted’s appointment back in April, the new website for CEME – the Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence – recently launched with a dual presence covering two distinct sectors – the corporate and education audience and the conferencing and events market. The work consisted of a design and an online branding exercise for the ...

It’s funny how people are perceived. We often make a point of asking temporary staffers at Dusted, what their experience was like and whether they got on with everyone. Just recently, we’ve had Oliver Fish with us (hitting the phones and rationalising our database) and today is his last day in the studio before jetting ...

Sam here at Dusted asked me “What Blogs do I read?”. I said, “Where do I start‽” Strictly speaking I visit very few Blogs, but I do subscribe to several Blog RSS feeds. So for Sam’s enjoyment, and hopefully yours, here is my list. Design A List Apart | RSS Boagworld | RSS Brand New ...

It is pretty hard to ignore the rising panic amongst banks, consumers and Gordon Brown as Britain’s economy (allegedly) plummets uncontrollably into decline. Recently it has been difficult to pick up a paper without every headline describing sub-prime markets, falling house prices and rocketing interest rates so you’d be forgiven for thinking now would be ...

Today’s Design Week revealed a fresh new (and apparently, less expensive) identity for the DairyCo – the new name for the Milk Development Council (MDC). According to the agency behind it, the new logo is “… about promoting openness and freshness in its bright colour scheme…” though we think it bears a slight resemblance to ...

According to leading childcare experts, ‘energetic’ and ‘imaginative’ best describe the 4-year-old. They feel good about the things they can do, show self-confidence, and are willing to try new adventures. I’d say this pretty much sums up Dusted as we reach our fourth birthday.

Yahoo’s Advanced Products Team have recently launched a live video experiment. Think YouTube but live… Yahoo! Live allows anyone with a webcam to launch their own channel on the site. The Y! Live team suggests that the tool could be used for live DJ sets, live speed dating or concert broadcasting. So far I’ve seen ...

Once again Dusted was asked to produce the Christmas E-card for PRO Insurance. This year we went for a snow-themed typographic treatment. See the full animation after the break. This movie requires Flash Player 9

Today we turned three. Tonight we will no doubt be making our way through three courses at Gaucho Piccadilly to celebrate. A 300g Bife De Lomo is a likely hot favourite washed down with a few bottles of Infinitus Gran Reserva (a Patagonian grape, grown at an altitude of 300m). Such a far cry from ...
