Happy Birthday Photoshop

February 23rd, 2010

Believe it or not it’s been an amazing 20 years since Photoshop was first launched by John Knoll, Thomas Knoll, Russell Brown and Steve Guttman. To celebrate the landmark anniversary Adobe gathered together the original developers to discuss the creation and impact of the software, which has become an everyday tool for many designers. You can find out more on the Creative Review website.

Photoshop has certainly evolved over the years...

How many of these versions can you remember?

A unique guide to aeroplanes

The in-house design team at South African airline ‘Kulula’ has come up with a unique and informative way to rebrand their aircrafts. Not only does the refreshing colour catch your eye, but you also get to learn what everything is called and even where the loo is without setting foot on board! 

Keep your eyes peeled for one of these planes next time you’re at the airport, or click here to find out more.

Michon/E.ON party - the evidence!

February 9th, 2010

Well we certainly had a good old fashioned knees up at our belated Christmas party on Friday! It was a great night at the Hand and Heart pub with its unusual setting inside Nottingham’s caves.

The night just flew by and we’re sure most people would have been a little worse for wear on Saturday… A good time was had by all - see for yourself below!

Exciting new project for the University of Greenwich!

January 20th, 2010

We’re chuffed to bits to win a pitch to work with the University of Greenwich on their new media player videos. It’s all under wraps at the moment, so we can’t say too much, but we’ll tell you more once the films go live.

Evolution of the mouse

January 13th, 2010

We’re all lovers of the Apple Mac here at Michon, but it’s fascinating to see just how much the Apple mouse has evolved over the last 25 years. From the bulky, blocky, beige Macintosh mouse that first appeared in 1984 to the new all singing and dancing multi-touch wireless Magic Mouse. We just wonder what Apple will come up with next. Raneko’s photographs, below, show the evolution brilliantly.

Snow!

January 6th, 2010

Well the whole country is talking about it so we thought we’d join in. Here at our home in Radcliffe-on-Trent we’ve only had a dusting of snow but surrounding areas have been badly hit. We hope everyone is enjoying the snow because it looks set to stay here for a little while longer.

Leon gets on his bike for charity

December 14th, 2009

On Sunday our studio manager Leon took part in a motorcycle ride to help raise food and toy donations for Just for Dogs shelter in Derbyshire. The ride, which went from Derby to Brailsford, saw around 20 people get on their motorbikes, including the Mayor of Derby!

We all helped by sponsoring Leon with donations of dog food and toys so hopefully the dogs will have a feast this Christmas.

Below are some pictures from the day and some of the dogs at the shelter, including the gorgeous puppy which Leon will be fostering over Christmas. Well done to all those who took part in the ride.
