A Taxing Job

Filed under: News — Tags: , — Studio @ 5:53 pm

We’ve just launched the Tax-effective Giving website for the Institute of Fundraising.

A completely content managed solution, the site is now administered by the office staff at the Institute without the need to call on us.

The site is the UK’s official (and very comprehensive) source of information on the tax implications of giving to charity. Hopefully, we’ve made it a bit more interesting than that sounded.

K-Pasa is open!

Despite making the most of the free food and drink last night we’ve still managed to make it into work this morning.

We were at the launch party of K-Pasa which turned out to be a very good evening…the place was packed. Thanks to the management for inviting us and bravely allowing us to meet some of their future customers as well as the press and other Sheffield high-flyers.

Feedback for our work was excellent and coupled with the excellent food, we’re sure everyone will return with their friends and make K-Pasa the success it deserves to be!

Now who’s got the headache tablets?

The Beat is the Law !

October 15, 2008

10th Planet have just returned from the “teaser” premier of the new film “The Beat is the Law”.

The film is a sequel to 2001′s “Made in Sheffield”, a chronicle of  the rise of music in the city from the early 1970s to the early 1980s when pioneers such as the Human League, ABC, Cabaret Voltaire, Heaven 17, Pulp, I’m So Hollow, Artery, The Extras, 2.3, Clock DVA and The Comsat Angels set about their mission…to “kill off Rock and Roll”!

That film was premiered at Sheffield’s International Documentary Festival (another client of ours!)  and has since become an international success, becoming part of musical history itself as well as making it into Time Out’s list of 50 greatest Musical Films Ever. It also features one of the last interviews with John Peel, as well as contributions from all the main players.

“The Beat is the Law” continues the story through to the 1990s taking in Pulp, Babybird, Longpigs, Moloko and more and also follows the rise of dance music from Warp, FON and  WAU!MrModo as well as interviews with Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley.

Eve Wood (director) and Richard Wood (Producer) asked us to create a website for this project after a conversation between Andy and Eve which started in the Showroom cinema in 2001, got interrupted, and then, strangely, resumed in 2008 in exactly the same place.

The film has been entirely funded by Eve and Richard’s Company Sheffield Vision. Tonight’s premier hopes to allow the film to be finished and marketed by gaining the support of Sheffield businesses. Plenty of local artists, designers and musicians were in attendance and are hopefully, spreading the word. Eve Wood showed a compilation of highlights from “Made in Sheffield”. Human League and Heaven 17 founder Martyn Ware made an inspiring speech to drum up support before a tantalising teaser trailer was shown leaving all who were there wanting more. Music was courtesy of a DJ set by Ralph Razor.

10th Planet are proud to sponsor and support the project and we wish it every success.

In case you wondered, “The Beat is The Law” comes from the pioneering 1987 Krush track “House Arrest (The Beat is Law)”.

¿qué pa·sa?

¿qué pa·sa? means “What’ s happening?” in Spanish. So why are we asking ?

Well, what’s happening is that we are designing a restaurant!

Frequenters of Sheffield’s West Street might have noticed that the K-Pasa restaurant has been closed for refurbishment. The restaurant is under new ownership and undergoing a complete upgrade in all respects.

To complement the new chef and menu we have created a completely new look including a new logo, corporate ID, signage, printed material, advertising and PR material and, of course the website.

Oh and we also designed the interior and the exterior as well !

We’ll show you the results when we can…all is still top secret.

A year after completing Fluid Feeling’s site we have just completed a major overhall.

The site is now completely updateable by Fluid Feeling using a specially adapted content management system which gives the client a toolbox of styles and building blocks to continue to edit the site without altering the look and feel of the original design.

We are also debuting the use of sIFR which allows the use of any typeface on a web page without having to resort to using graphics. The accessibility and SEO implications of doing it this way are far-reaching and we’ll be using this system a lot in the future. More info…

The site redesign has also used new techniques for styling images and a menu system which is  search engine friendly.
