Part two of the three now online.
Byron George launched to much fanfare - the site uses a really smart little shared build of WordPress to deliver content to both this site and to the shared Russell&George showcase site.
The content is shared as defined by the guys, the formatting is specific to each architects style (and whim) so, whilst in R&G there's a collective approach to formatting - each architect is defined with either a black or white theme, take a look it's pretty neat.
Friday night saw the annual MADC show and whilst there wasn't any food on offer (reportedly), there was a silver in Best Community Service/Charity Digital for BannerAid.
This is Rhys and Warren picking it up looking all happy, and scared at the same time.
We've got a post about it here:
This was the submission vid, that tells more than I can write - it's got moving pictures etc..
Whoever said good things come in twos was lying like a rug.
From left to right, please give a warm n' fuzzy welcome to...
Jo, our new Head of Content for Maybelline New York. Creative story teller and former features director at Cleo Mag, Jo recently returned to balmy Melbourne after writing & styling her way around Sydney the last few years.
Jack, our man in the middle/Junior Designer/groover will be part of the team for the next 12 months from Swinburne's IP program.
And to the right we have Zia. Our new Senior Digi Producer from the UK. She has an amazing collection of one-sies. We love her.
Our master plan is working... (evil laugh).

This finally went live. That makes us pretty happy.
A labour of love, one of 3 parts now up and running. 2 to go: a dedicated Ryan Russell, and a dedicated Byron George property coming when they get here.
See the full site here.
The latest arrival post the chairs, machines of work, Hans' coffee shop and Teresa, Al, and Rhys is Hamish McD as partner and fulltime CD fresh out of the uk digi-scene.
Hello geezer.
Bam! This is getting interesting.
(And yes we still need folk - see below there a few posts back).
We did this.
Yes, we're responsible (in a big part) for this. And we love it. We did it for Right Angle with Karl and Craig.
Thanks to our team Stormboy, Eski, Alex, Benji, Wil, Nat, Dani, Katya, Simone, Rob, Ben, Ben, Hamish & Katie. With a special ones to Nadia, Rachel, Barrie, Chris and Frunch.
I'd expect that, not unlike a doting mum welcoming back their now mid- teens daughter complete with ink and holes from exchange over in iceland/germany/scotland there's a few oh dears, and ums.
And, we'd also expect that over a short period of time the new/faster/better cataloguing, sorting, finding, editing and other fun features will settle and the whole experience of the thousands will remain the park where all the cool kids come to play.
Like, no-one ever grows up?
On Tuesday afternoon the team here at ABLT received the awesomely incredible news that we scooped Maybelline New York’s digital advertising account following a competitive pitch against three of Melbourne’s bigger digi shops.
To say there were a few tenderloins in the studio Wednesday morning is a bit of an understatement!
Such exciting times ahead!
(Full press release available here)
And the good news keeps rolling in...
ABLT has been engaged to design a new site and CMS build for an exciting new project by Vic Urban and MEFL.
Due for completion in July, 'The Nicholson' is a new style of urban village situated in East Coburg.
All you greenies watch this space as it's set to break new ground rules in environmental and sustainability principles.
