Multipack Presents WordPress with Show & Tell, Sat 12 May 2012
Our event this month is all about Wordpress, featuring:
Jonny Allbut - stretching WP beyond the blog
Rachel McCollin - Responsive images - let WordPress do the hard work
Tammie Lister - Three BuddyPress tales
All great stuff about how Wordpress can be more than just a blog.
It’s also a Show & Tell event too, so we’ll have some short talks on projects by multipack attendees!
Meet 2pm at the Sack of Potatoes, the talks from 4pm at Science Park Aston
Sponsor a Mac
Our very own Si has been working closely with The International School in Birmingham, asking local design agencies to “Sponsor a Mac” to help students embrace creativity with industry standard software that is typically too expensive for schools.
By contributing just £120 towards the campaign, you will supply the school with an Adobe Creative Suite license along with the opportunity to build a relationship with young talented designers.

MG
The folks at One Black Bear have been busy again. This time bringing the classic midlands car manufacturer’s site up to date. A nice clean design that’s also fully responsive.
Free Radio
The folks at 383 Project have produced this great new site for the newly merged BRMB, Beacon, Mercia and Wyvern radio stations. A great mix of social and local.
