happy week 2

So the New Year isn’t so… “new” anymore. Not so shiny perhaps. Ah well, it’s only week 2 and that’s plenty enough reason for a cheer. Happy Week 2! Hope the year is going well for you so far. And that you’ve got great things in the pipeline already. Remember that if you need help with anything design based we’re right here and more than ready...

pushing pixels: mixing media... →

kwesiraphael: I am a storyteller first and designer second. And it is for this very reason that I always design in moving pictures and simply pull out stills when necessary. Motion always comes naturally whereas the static does not. The static only appeals when it suggests motion and life and for that…

Happy New Year

It’s a New Year now people. 2010 just flew by and even though it may not have been everything that you wanted it to be we are now in 2011. So, if you’re back in the office right now, that means you survived the snow (or sunshine, although that’s not very hard) and you made it through the holiday chaos. If you got a couple extra days on the rest of us and are still lounging...

Watch out for falling leaves...

There have been many changes over the past few months here at Cagedlight but we are still as passionate about design as ever. So Cagedlight is now non-location specific. Yeah, so what that means is that we are now no longer tied to an office, studio or physical address. But the best part of this is that we can now pass on some great savings to you the client. So say goodbye to traffic jams and...

We came, we saw...

And we had a blast! Well, it’s now the Monday after and with a week of photo editing ahead, we’re still talking about the time we had at New Start Scotland over the weekend. It was a pleasure to be a part of the event again this year and once again it was a little sad to see it all be taken apart afterwards. It is was refreshing to see so many enthusiastic people all wanting to do...

Apps we like

Well, twenty-ten has been a busy one for us so far, but along the way we have discovered a few really cool programs that make life so much more streamlined and lots more fun too. We found apps like Evernote and RescueTime to be great enhancers of our work flow and YomoMedia is a brilliant and very cool way of organising your RSS feeds, so that you can stay on top of your news and blogs. And when...
