Irish Blog Awards

Bloggers ahead

Ok - looks like I can make it tomorrow to the Irish Blog Awards. Derek will be turning up with his fancy Nikon (It’s really a Fischer-price painted black and given some silver buttons) Minolta and Canon and we hope to have the photos online at the weekend on his new photography blog.

Brightening up a newsletter campaign

Designing an email newsletter for a client at the moment. The campaign is essentially an invite to come meet the client at a US conference and exhibition in Las Vegas. Readers click on the email and are brought to a registration page which collects their data into their CRM app.

I really wanted to brighten up the campaign and introduce a lot of colour as the messaging is quite technical. Originally we planned on having a Flash animated sequence which would fade through several network message clouds but since most email clients won’t support Flash we knew the majority of recipients would have recieved text-only news.

The concept of Network Clouds were combined with each message and the reader will scroll down through several of these clouds until they eventually reach an illustration of an exhibition booth.
Will post full version when it’s completed.

Blogging in Ireland is outta control. They say the Irish like to talk. Even my brother has launched his own blog and is slowly coming round to the idea of turning up at the Irish Blog Awards on Saturday and taking some ’snaps’. He hates it when I use that word (snaps).
