I just wanted to share this wonderful docu-advertisement by a Canadian ink manufacturer by the apt name of The Printing Ink Company on how inks for CMYK and Pantone printing processes are made.
I’ve always been amazed by industrial processes, particularly manufacturing, and this little gem is one of the best bits I’ve seen1. Props to the film-makers for excellent editing and a great soundtrack.
Without further ado, I give you How Ink is Made.

The Excitement/Nerves of starting a new job…
After months of looking for a new job and multiple interviews, finally you get that call you have been waiting for. You got the job and can start the following Monday! Ohh the joy… then, fast-forward to the night before you’re due to start, and ohh boy, the nerves!
Having recently completed a post-graduate multimedia course after work with the intention of moving into a slightly different and more exciting industry, then quitting my position as a support desk analyst to build my online portfolio, I was determined to get into the web design industry.
Those dreaded hours spent updating your resume and applying for job after job in the hope of getting a call back and an interview were my next big hurdle.
After a few initial interviews, many of which were a waste of time with either them being freelancers wanting you to do odd job here and there or otherwise poorly run companies that would just mass produce websites without paying too much attention to the actual product (design and functionality) they were selling.

The age old question was upon us again this year – “What kick-ass gift can we give our clients in 2010?”
As some of you may know, we recently relocated Koodoz HQ to the design hub of Richmond, Melbourne. Since settling in to the new office we’ve found ourselves flourishing in this incredible creative environment.
We love the energy of this great little area! Not only are we surrounded by like-minded creative types and boutique industries, but we also have a plethora of excellent eateries and coffee houses at our disposal for our morning caffeine hit. Yes, we have become self-confessed coffee snobs.
It’s time to say good bye to Oakleigh. Goodbye to the delicious souvlakis from Orexi. Goodbye to the Cranbourne / Pakenham line and goodbye to the groups of old Greek men, swinging their ‘worry beads’ and debating over coffee at 8:45 in the morning.
Yes, the time has come. We’ve out grown our humble Oakleigh office and it’s time to move on to greener pastures. Today is our final day at 55 Queens Avenue and over the weekend we will be uprooting and moving to the heart of Melbourne’s creative hub – Richmond. More specifically 96 Chestnut Street. Read on!
Even when we’re trying to do something good you create another headache. We did a post about the great @font-face property back in May having an issue with Firefox and we thought we were clear of the woods with IE, but of course, it’s never that simple… Read on!
There’s no excuse for the tardiness between blog posts, I know, but just like last time, we’ve been flat out with a couple of decent size projects and have managed to do our brilliant best to ignore this corner of our website. Yet, it hasn’t been all work and no play, as we’ve had some freakin’ great music to accompany the workflow along the way.
Below is a breakdown of some of the sweet beats (all of which are massive contenders for our 2010 Top 10 list!) that have been channeling through the office speakers over the last couple of months… Read on!
