The Fundamentals of Veterinary Science Summer School is an annual programme held at the University of Cambridge, UK.

2idesign had the objective to design a Summer School website which offers veterinary undergraduates the opportunity to consider research-based careers. Following the successful completion of the website, we hope we have impressed the University of Cambridge with a fresh design, that also remains within the guidelines and feel of the University.

Another great website completed by 2idesign. Phonetic Arts delivers technology that generates natural expressive speech, allowing computer games to say any sentence in any type of voice. The CEO Paul Taylor is a recognised world authority on speech technology. Their goal is to free games developers from the constraints of recorded samples and allow them to create rich, expressive and responsive dialog within their games. It's clever stuff...

GAME ON!

21/OCT/09

So you've got your 2igame, you've played it and you love it! Good to hear! Well why not take the game outside of work? Here are just a few more ideas of the kind of thing you could write inside - enjoy responsibly, or not!

With the kids
Tidy your bedroom
Choose a film to watch
Help tidy the house
You win a sweet
Tell a joke
Make a drink for your parents
Do your homework
Recite the alphabet backwards

Night out with friends
First rounds on you
Next round is on you
Exempt from buying drinks for the rest of the night
Ask the person working behind the bar for their phone number
Sing a karaoke song
Nominate someone else to sing a karaoke song
Walk in a straight line
Ask for the waiter/ress' phone number

SWEET SUCCESS

20/OCT/09

Here at 2i we decided to play the 2igame at Iain's expense. He didn't stand a chance!

Thanks for the sweets!

PLAYTIME HAS
JUST BEGUN!!!

FLYING LOW

20/SEPT/09

As I was driving past Marshalls this weekend, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a Red Arrows air show. Like the hoards of other drivers in the area, I pulled over by the side of the road and joined the crowd to watch the spectacle! After watching them tumble, dive and loop-the-loop so meticulously for a full half-hour (heart formation being my favourite stunt), I can safely say I am now a true red arrow convert and will be waiting with baited breath for their next show!

DESIGN FOR LIFE

18/SEPT/09

'Design for Life' is a new reality TV programme, giving up-and-coming British designers the chance to work with Philippe Starck, the infamous designer who has achieved great celebrity status worldwide. Stark has been introduced to the British audience as an uncomfortable French designer of the iconic lemon squeezer.

Is this really the best Britain has to offer?

I look forward to December when we have him for 10 days!
