Water engineering exhibition opens at ICE's London HQ

The latest major exhibition in the Institution of Civil Engineering's series of events has opened to the public.

Following the hugely successful ICE200 exhibition, which celebrated all aspects of civil engineering, 2019 welcomes a brand new exhibition, with the focus on water.

The 301 team have again developed a fantastic, information-rich exhibition, showcasing a selection of projects across the world, where civil engineers are using their skills and experience to improve the daily lives of the population.

We have conducted extensive research into the projects to identify the key…..

Redesigned Tandridge Golf Club website goes live

We are pleased to present the fully redesigned website for Tandridge Golf Club, which has now been relaunched.

The 301 Design team conducted a full review of the club’s website and developed a design proposal for a new, responsive site for visitors and club members.

A fresh graphical approach was implemented, adhering to the club’s brand guidelines. Our photographers visited the course on several occasions throughout the summer to capture the stunning landscape for all 18 holes and clubhouse.

The website was developed in Umbraco, providing an easy-to-use CMS experience for club staff to update.

301's David Boxall meets HRH The Princess Royal

As designers and producers of the ICE200 exhibition, 301's David Boxall had the great honour to meet Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at the Institution of Civil Engineers in Westminster.

Creating a series of highly successful exhibitions for the ICE has been a recent highlight for 301 Design. David and HRH The Princess Royal discussed the creation of the exhibitions and the impact of engineering in transforming lives.

The current exhibition at the ICE celebrates the Institution’s bicentenary and the role of engineering ‘superheroes’ who have played a key role in civil engineering projects around the world. 301 has brought to life engineers and projects who have ‘Opened Up The World’ through rail travel, ‘Joined People, Cities and Nations’ through bridge building, and are ‘Supplying Cleaner Energy’ through renewables.

‘Invisible Superheroes: How Engineers Transform Lives and Shape The World Around Us’, is a year-long exhibition at One Great George Street, the home of the ICE.

Engineering superheroes immortalised by 301

We are excited to see the relaunch of the fully redesigned website for our client, In 'N' Out Autocentres, a nationwide chain offering car servicing and repair.

Appointed as design lead and working closely with Magento web design agency, 247, our design team was asked to conduct a full review of In ‘N’ Out Autocentres’ existing website and propose a new and improved user experience, the key element being the booking process, which customers were using less frequently.

Inspired by clouds

Take your time.

I’ve got a Fujifilm X100s. It runs about $1300. It’s easily the best camera I’ve ever owned. I take care of it as best as I can, but I don’t let taking care of it impact the photography. Let me elaborate on that a bit better. You’ll get better at each section of what we talked about slowly. And while you do, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it all is and how the habit forms. The best way to get better at photography is start by taking your camera everywhere. If you leave your house, your camera leaves with you. The only exception is if you’re planning for a weekend bender — then probably leave it at home. Other than that, always have it slung over your shoulder. It would probably help to get an extra battery to carry in your pocket. I’ve got three batteries. One in my camera, one in my pocket, one in the charger.

When it dies, swap them all.

For me, the most important part of improving at photography has been sharing it. Sign up for an Exposure account, or post regularly to Tumblr, or both. Tell people you’re trying to get better at photography. Talk about it. When you talk about it, other people get excited about it. They’ll come on photo walks with you. They’ll pose for portraits. They’ll buy your prints, zines, whatever.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Working from your home?

01. Wake up at the same time every day.

Naturally, my first impression of these headphones is based off of the look of them. They have a classic over-the-ear style that is highlighted by a blue LED light that indicates the power for the noise canceling. The padding on the ear pieces seems adequate for extended usage periods.

They are wired headphones, but the 3.5mm stereo mini-plug cable is detachable. Something else I noticed right of the bat was the very nice carrying case that comes with them. It has a hard plastic exterior with a soft cloth interior that helps to protect the surface of the headphones from scratches. I never truly appreciated cases for headphones until I started carrying them from place-to-place. Now I can’t imagine not having a case.

It’s funny — the thing I feared would take away my “freedom” is the one thing that has allowed me to have it.

02. Have a routine when you wake up.

Once I gave the headphones a thorough once-over exam, I tried them on. As I mentioned, they have a classic over-the-ear style and just looking at them, the padding on the ear pieces seem adequate and the peak of the headband seemed to be a bit lacking, but you don’t really know comfort unless you try on the product. So, I slipped the headphones on and found them to be exquisitely comfortable. In order to test how voices sounded, and the overall art of sound mixing, I pulled up Netflix on my iPad Air 2 and watched a few minutes of a movie to hear all the nuances of the film. None of them were lost. In fact, I ended up hearing sounds that I hadn’t heard before. Echoes…birds chirping…wind blowing through trees…breathing of the characters…it was very impressive what the headphones ended up bringing out for me.

I’d start my day by checking email, Twitter, Facebook. Reading the “news”. I’d look at my to-do list and start working on something.

03. Plan your workout time — stick to it.

Now that I had the headphones on my head, I was finally ready to plug and play some music. I plugged the provided cable into the jack on the headphones and then the one on my iPhone 6. Then I called up Pandora. I tend to have a very eclectic music purview and have many stations set up for different moods. From John Williams to Fallout Boy, the sound quality of these headphones was remarkable. There is an amazing depth of sound and incredible highs and lows that make listening to music a truly breathtaking experience.

Distractions aside, there was no real rhyme or reason to my workflow. The not-so-fun (but necessary) stuff kept getting neglected.
