A few of us are pretty into photography here at Creative Spark, and today we’ve been swooning, laughing and gasping over a couple of sites that are dripping with incredible shots; GreyHandGang and TRIANGLE TRIANGLE. I advise you check them out!

MacBook Air takes mobile computing to a new level. Ultrathin and ultraportable. I don’t really need one, but I want one!

Sadly, Pete; our latest work placement is leaving us today, and because he’s such a nice guy he brought us all Krispy Kreme doughnuts with hats to match!

We’ve got Nick (Hammo) in the office at the moment decorating our meeting room. We can’t give too much away but watch this space, or if you need any work doing book a meeting with us to have a closer look at our newly decorated meeting room.

If you want to have a nosey at some more of Hammo’s work go to his site www.thehammo.com

Look who our star apprentice bumped into in the Northern Quarter.

It was a baking summers afternoon in Manchester and the unforgiving heat hung heavy in the Creative Spark studio, the only sound a gentle whir of a desk fan overlaid with the staccato rhythm of mouse clicks and key taps as the team worked diligently. As the clock’s hands created a fleeting but perfect horizon, there began a shuffling of feet and a small but ever-growing furore around the sofa. Delicious snacks and fine beverages were brought forth from their staging area in the kitchen, the electronics were tuned to The Beeb and the last few members of staff, still thus far engrossed in their work, were gently encouraged to join the rest of the team to witness what could have been England’s last grasping hope at planetary football domination for the next four years. Luckily, we won.

Roll on Sunday and our first match of the knockout stages!

Twitter recently endured a bug that allowed users to ‘force’ others to follow them by typing accept then the user name of the person they want to follow them. Twitter had to reset accounts which made the user look like they have no followers and were following no one.

Is this kid a future star player or was the video doctored by a star CGI-ist?

We’re on the move! Over the next few weeks we’ll be moving into our new office and here are a few snaps of how it’s all coming along. Keep your eye on the blog over the coming weeks for more updates.
