Another Christmas holiday is almost upon us! So, here's wishing that everyone has a fantastic time with friends, family, and loved ones over the festive period.

2011 has been a highly productive year for 4mula design. We have been carrying out ongoing work and maintenance for our existing clients, and gained some fantastic new ones too.

As well as the usual cool links and recommendations, this newsletter contains some of our highlights from 2011 : )

In July, Deep TIme: A History of the Earth was launched and won Site of the Day over at the prestigious Awwwards website.

The infographic offers a visual way to explore the various stages of the Earth’s history using a 12 hour clock analogy.

The project was born out of a love for science, space, time, cosmology, design, visual communication, and web technology.

The Courvoisier Infographic was a specially commissioned interactive piece for the global spirit company's History of Punch campaign.

"Before cocktails, there was punch. This infographic allows you to discover more about the rich history of punch, what makes it special and where its future lies."

We launched The Shooters Sports Bar website in November.

The site uses a CMS engine which has been customised to allow easy daily updates for all of the in-house mangers.

In addition, there is a custom notification mechanism to enable the business owners to inform their customers of news, announcements, and special offers.

This year we have been working alongside a team of Cheltenham based video specialists to create some interactive sales tools for the Animal Health division of Pfizer.

Ongoing work will include designing and developing device applications for field representatives.

This work will continue in 2012 with an ongoing range of new sales applications.
