Olivia and the jungle of chairs
Posted by Zoë24 February, 2010
Olivia and the design room members created their own jungle of chairs recently after much demand (described by some as bordering on whinging) for new - heavier duty chairs due to hard stretched work conditions.
The now well supported team members are working more efficiently thanks to the new purchases - so all is go go go on the work side - and we are doubly efficient. Some of the team are so keen you will even see them stretched back well after work hours. With 6 chairs per designer - who needs to go home to watch a movie.
CSS3 - starring @font-face

Looks like is time to throw out a few things (I wont even mention Internet Explorer 6, which is beyond a joke) - hack techniques that have gotten us through some dark lack-of-web-standards years.
As the web approaches a more standardised land of happiness, CSS3 is becoming more and more a reality.
One piece of good news we've begun using ourselves is the @font-face definition. Sure, theres a bit of an IE7/8 hack... but it works! Infact it works nicely, and barely counts as a hack since it follows your standard CSS rules; more or less.
Check out the Siteflex website to see @font-face in action. We're very pleased with the results. Goodbye old techniques; hello new, improved ones! The image below shows off a bit of before/after action - loving the new font!
Here is another article on font-face over at miltonbayer.com
ps. As a major bonus font-face is iPhone/iPad friendly too!
