Pandora.com was sent to us by one of our Clients (Thanks Debbie) for all those people who like to discover new music, like what we do. Can you help me discover more music that I’ll like?

It’s Tuesday. The gusto you started yesterday with is starting to wear off and you’re desperately willing Wednesday to come so you can start counting down to the weekend.

This Week At The Escape

Much easier to have a run down of work for the whole week, rather than the individual case studies, so welcome to our new weekly post. (I did rip it from Brandflakes – it works so much better, so thanks for that). We have just agreed to be involved in a project for Talk 44 [...]

Talk With Google

Google Talk is a brand new tool from the search engine giant that lets you communicate with your friends and family for free.

Sorry but…Christmas is coming

I have discovered Papa Stour this week. A very nice web site set up to showcase the talents of Scottish Artists, Photographers and Product designers. It’s full of nicely designed, unique & quirky products plus some great art and photography. I think the web site itself looks great and manages to get across the quality [...]

  • It's kicking off in the studio this Christmas

    Peace and good will to all… well, that’s the general theory this time of year isn’t it? Unfortunately, no one passed this message to the ‘troops’ in the studio at Escape Towers this year.

  • New stuff: Honeywell F124 banner

    Its very early days, but we’ve started working with Honeywell. They’re based here in Basingstoke so our local-ness (pretty sure that’s not even a word!) is helpful when there’s a tight deadline to hit. This was the case with our first project for them, a pretty straightforward roller banner design for a show they were [...]
