Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are targeting the African and Chinese communities in the UK in a bid to attract people visiting friends and relatives abroad. 3fish worked on 3 creative routes across the 2 airlines including direct mail, mobile advertising, and online digital media.

London's ace. Never a dull moment. Especially working on the South Bank. Whenever friends back home (oop North) ask me if I'm bored of London yet and ready to come home I rattle off a whole list of what's on in town and they soon end up grumbling into their ale.

A prime example is the Festival of Britain. Where else could you go to work getting off the bus opposite a 20ft high straw fox? Brilliant.

I have a gripe though. London is a modern, dynamic forward thinking experimental city. Likewise the UK is a diverse muti-cultural ever changing society. This "Festival of Britain" is more of a celebration of Southend on Sea circa 1950. Beach huts, seagulls, allotments and war photos.

Surely Britain has more to offer? What a bleedin let-down guvnor. You'll find me at the Lambeth Country Show watching the sheep sheering, drinking scrumpy, eating jerk chicken and listening to Dub Reggae. Now that's a Festival of Britain right there.

A few weeks ago we launched a quiz for KLM aimed at the gay community:

It's doing quite well so far ...but this Saturday, the legendary Mr Stephen Fry was kind enough to twitter about it, creating a HUGE surge in interest.
Thank you Mr Fry!

You may not know this, but our Di... yes our very own Diana Boyle... is also a professional illustrator. She's pretty damn good too.

Check out this interview in Amelia's Magazine: click here

And you can see more on her own website: click here

We think she's ace. Look out for Di's drawings... they'll be everywhere soon.

It's the 25th aniversary of the Apple Macintosh this year, and where would we be without them? Erm... the same probably but we'd be using PCs instead. Not that we're Mac Anoraks or anything like that (well... maybe some of us are) but we do love our Macs.

We've cellebrated by designing some desktop patterns/posters for your pleasure. Have a look on our site: www.3fishinatree.com/downloads/desktops .

...super.

We had a bit of a jolly over to the Hayward last week to see the "Walking in My Mind" exhibition.

You've probably seen the dotty madness by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama which is pretty cool, but so's the room full of string by Chiharu Shiota, the card-board caves by Thomas Hirschhorn, and the Eternity Chamber by Charles Avery.

If you like the Psycho Buildings thing they did, you'll love this.. we did.
It's on untill September 6th so get a shifty on.

This is our blog. We've never had a blog before so here goes. We'll do our best to update it fairly regularily, and not to pack it full of drivvle. So hope you enjoy it, and feel free to comment, but please be nice. Speak to ya later.

Our site went live a little while ago. We're rather pleased with it to be honest. Nice clean layout, fancy slidey bits that work but actually make the user experience richer rather than get in the way.

It should work for everyone too. In Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and even on our iPhones. That's quite an achievement especially as it works in Internet bleedin Explorer 6: the bain of our lives.

Back in the dark ages, web design was tough. Getting layouts working consistently across all browsers especially Nutscrape (sorry.. Netscape) was a dark art. Not so much anymore, it's fairly straight forward and most web browsers are fairly tolerant of our fancy code.

CSS layouts and web standards have made the world a happier place. Unless you use IE6. It's rubbish. We support it because we have to, but it takes soooooo long to twist and tweak our websites to work in IE6 we either have to keep things simple (spoiling the fun for everyone else) or stare at lines of code until our eyeballs bleed. We really should be charging extra for this.

So PC users... please upgrade to IE7 or Firefox. You'll feel much better for it.
