KBB Exhibition

Our Client The 1810 Company was exhibiting, last week
at The KBB Exhibition at the NEC. We produced all the 
exhibition graphics, new catalogue and promotional
material, so we called in to have a nose around and
see how things were looking (Which was great by the way!)

Heres a few shots we took...







This project was particularly fun as we had a mac
go bang with all the work for the exhibition a week
before it was due to go to print!! A lot of late nights
and stress ensued, but we still hit the deadline! And
are please with the results!!

CS5 - yes please!

OMG, i need this in my life!


What a week!

Just realised, we've not posted in aaages!!

What a couple of weeks... had a mac go down & lost a weeks worth 
of work! Rest assured, we now have a daily back up (Apples Time Machine) in place.

Then... we had a website that we originally built in 2007 ripped off!!
I believe the correct term is 'hijacked'. Basically another agency, who
im sure are usually reputable, copied the design, coding & even 
deconstructed the flash used on www.thekingsheadbirmingham.com
They hadn't even changed the meta data & hadn't even changed the 
telephone number!!
 
Heres an image of the Kings head Site.

and heres the offending site


Notice any similarities? The other agency had even used
some of the food images from The Kings Head!! 

We've never had this happen before and to be honest didn't
know what to do?! Our client contacted the owners of the 
other domain who changed the site. I guess plagerism is 
a form of flattery but what they did was just plain lazy
and this kind of behaviour will do themselves no favours
in reputation. Anyone had this happen to them? and what
course of action did you take?
