Here’s a little more info:

If you’re a print designer, you know the day is coming when you’ll be asked to design a Web site. No matter whether you haven’t learned HTML and CSS yet because of a lack of time or technophobia, this book will get you started coding Web sites and making them look the way you want. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how painless it is and how much you already know. And this book covers HTML5 and CSS3, so you’ll be working with the latest Web standards.

As usual, we’ll be building and performing live interactive Motion Graphics for the Donations & Auctions portion of the event.



This year promises to be as fun and worthwhile as ever, with Brian Williams hosting the evening that wraps up with a performance by Lady Gaga. Last year the evening provided a whopping $86 MILLION for fighting poverty in New York.



Stay tuned for more…

 




We also recently wrapped up some HTML5/CSS3 design consulting with Fancy Pants Interactive for their snappy new site, which should be live very soon. They’re an amazingly capable development team that has powerful technical know-how with an unheard-of creative sensibility– if you need your creative concepts translated into superb interactive, you should get in touch.



In other news, we’ve been working on Interactive and Online Advertising for some pharmaceutical and financial clients, new videos for the World Bank, logos for the set/environment guys at Seth Easter Design, helping out with Malevolent Creation‘s new music video, and working with Uffindell Group on some digital for Ameriprise….among other things!




Been a busy start to the year. More news soon…

Most of us seem to have been won over by the ease & variety of options available through digital printing, but pieces like this certainly make the case for a return to the old school.

We’re certainly jealous of them on this end…
