Pundit goes live

We’ve had the pleasure of working with two highly respected and accomplished journalists Tim Watkin and Eleanor Black in bringing to life their dream for Pundit.

Described as New Zealand’s first online current affairs and culture magazine, the site offers in-depth analysis of events in New Zealand and abroad, commentary from the most insightful political writers, polls, blogs, aggregated news, and a selective view of New Zealand’s cultural life. It is modeled on successful online publications such as Slate, Salon and The Huffington Post.

The site was built using Drupal.

Congratulations Stephen!

Congratulations to Stephen, who codes for us here at cre8d design, for advancing to the final round of Google’s Code Jam programming competition! He came 8th in the Asia/Pacific round and will next compete in California in November.

We had a lot of fun putting together a new funky design for UAE Kitten – a personal blog since 2002 by a girl from United Arab Emirates. As you click through different parts of the site, the layout changes slightly. It’s been really interesting reading her blog and seeing the world through her photos and thoughts. Oh and her blog always makes me hungry with heaps of photos of yummy food!

Part of the project involved moving everything from Greymatter over to WordPress and writing some custom scripts to import in all her photo albums and recipes, which were all static HTML pages.
