Igloo: the movie
With most of our staff stranded at home, the few of us that were able to come in undertook an epic igloo construction project.
It took nearly 8 hours, 6 staff members and over 100 snow blocks to create, as you can see the result was pretty fantastic.
My fellow designer Harry has prepared a brief video of the event complete with Hoff/Pingu soundtrack enjoy!
Happy Halloween from Fubra
Firstly I would just like to wish everybody a Happy Halloween and I hope you all have a devilishly good weekend!
It has been a busy week here at Fubra with investments, birthdays and lots of late nights making some cool Halloween posts for SixCrayons. Just like to say a big welcome to new Fubra investment Marble Construction who we have already been working with this week.
A few weeks ago myself and fellow designer Nick decided to create a couple of Halloween posts for SixCrayons. After a few late nights of pizza and lots of Cherry Coke we finally got them done. I created a rather fun Zombie Transformation Tutorial taking a few of the Fubra staff and turning them into Zombies.
Nick - being a huge movie geek - made a GhostBusters Isometric tutorial including all the GhostBusters, Ecto One and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Check out the full tutorial and be sure to ask him in the comments if there is anything you would like to know how to do. He has also included the Ai file of Ecto One for you to download and play with.

One person who has been extra busy also outside of work is Annie, who has been making personalised cakes for the staff birthdays.
Annie bases her cakes around each member of staff’s personal interest, this week it was Steve’s birthday. He has a fascination with anything LEGO, hence this rather impressive LEGO minifig cake based on Steve himself!
Not only has Annie been making birthday cakes, we also had a selection of Halloween treats this morning ready for when we all arrived work! Great stuff – Thanks Annie!
Happy Halloween!
Clear Books gets a new front cover
A few weeks ago work started on updating and restructuring the design of Clear Books, an online accounting software product to free your time.
The beta version was launched back in December last year (2008) and since then the software has shed it’s beta label (July ‘09) and evolved rapidly, boasting a number of great features and reasons to use Clear Books.
Winter Driving – Do you have breakdown cover?
With winter fast approaching it is becoming increasingly important to take care of your car, you can do this with simple tasks such as topping up your water, screen wash and oil levels regularly. If you think about it, your car really is very similar to your body. In order to stay healthy in winter, you need to fuel your body well and drink plenty of water, as does your car.
Having said this, the healthiest of us can become unwell in the winter. Just as the best looked after cars can breakdown at anytime. Read the rest of this entry »
