Phil Noto’s fine art prints and comic book illustrations have a very nice aesthetic reflecting his past experience at Walt Disney Animation. His sexy vintage spy girls can be bought as prints on his website or you can try to pickup his out of print book ‘Jet Seven’.

“While attending the Ringling School of Design, Phil Noto began his career as an intern at Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida. After two more years of illustration study, he returned to Disney Animation as a clean-up artist. His credits there include The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Lilo and Stitch.”

Our project last year with the Queen’s Nursing Institute has won the Third Sector Excellence Award for Best Website alongside other short-listed entries from the likes of WWF, The Prince’s Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.

The District Nursing 150 website project involved exploring stories, galleries and films throughout the history of District Nursing to celebrate the vibrant one hundred and fifty year history of District Nursing in the UK. We’re very happy the project has been successful for the Queen’s Nursing Institute and look forward to collaborating in the future.

The Third Sector Excellence Awards have rapidly gained pre-eminence as “the Awards to win” in this dynamic, challenging, yet hugely rewarding sector for registered charities, not-for-profits, social enterprises and campaigning groups.

The Awards aim to reward examples of outstanding campaigns, strategies, projects and performance, backed up by hard evidence of success. Winners receive their awards at an immaculately produced and staged dinner and ceremony in London each year. For 2009, the Awards dinner and ceremony will take place at Grosvenor House

We’ve recently been working with Leaping Cow to develop a new XHTML/CSS based website for Review Hair Salons in Petersfield and Waterlooville. Review has a well established team of creative hair dressers and stylists based in Hampshire. They recently won the national title of Salon Team of the Year in the prestigious British Hairdressing Business Awards.

Review’s existing brand indentity was developed for the website with a  focus on minimal design and high quality photography to show off the award winning hair design.

Third year students at The University for the Creative Arts are holding an online auction titled Beg, Steal or Borrow. The auction includes a great collection of design goodies that have been sourced by the students from notable designers and illustrators.

The money raised from the auction, which begins on 21st March and lasts for 10 days, will go towards funding the students end of year Graphic Communication degree show at the University and the D&AD New Blood show.

I’ve just been pouring through the past blog entries of Tebe Interesno on his LiveJournal. He’s got a great imagination in his use of abstract characters blended into everyday photographic scenes. They’ve got a weird vibe halfway between cute and evil!
