Please excuse the perhaps rather self-indulgent post, but we thought it be worth mentioning that the Sunday Publishing site has been getting quite a bit of coverage across the internet recently. As a result we had our busiest traffic day ever this week.
It could be down to the fact that we’re getting heavily featured on some good web awards sites. These include:
Design Shack
The Favourite Website Awards (thefwa.com)
Web Creme
CSS Mayo
Most Inspired
Design Fridge
Top Site Tally
Nodus Awards
A lot of the comments are about the clear, simple and functional design. Great to hear.

The Sunday team are delighted to announce that we will be publishing the international membership magazine for The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), following a competitive pitch.
The magazine, which we’re relaunching as Modus, will be published 10 times a year. Modus will enhance RICS’ reputation as the pre-eminent professional body for surveying by combining thought-leadership content and practical advice to stimulate and shape debate.
Ian Fussey, RICS Head of Member Communications, said, “We are looking to maximise the potential of the magazine as a vital communication channel for the membership. Sunday showed us they understood the challenges we face and came up with an incredibly strong proposition that exceeded the brief on every level.”
Toby (our MD) said: “We’re tremendously excited about working with RICS on this project. The magazine will feature big name writers with provocative viewpoints and look like nothing else in its sector. It plays to our strengths as an agency, supplying excellent creative solutions within a strong integrated communications framework.”

Each year, leading UK mag Creative Review’s Illustration Annual showcases the very best work by illustrators. And we’re chuffed to bits that this year they’ve included one of our stories from Today Tomorrow, the customer magazine that we publish for Toyota.
The story entitled “A Day In The Life… 2109-Style” looked ahead 100 years to a typical day-in-the-life. The piece weaves together the technological innovations that we could be using on a day to day basis – some from Toyota, some from other companies.
We went for a comic-strip approach, and persuaded the quite fantastic Tavis Coburn to create the look.

“I do feel strongly,” the superbly named Constance Spry once wrote, “that flowers should be a means of self-expression for everyone.” A florist, social reformer and best-selling author, Mrs Spry (1886-1960) took the cut-flower traditions of the upper classes and turned them on their head, effectively democratising the art of homemaking. She taught many Brits how to beautify their homes by making the most of such humble materials as vegetable leaves, twigs and weeds, and encouraged them to use a motley assortment of containers, including broken bird cages, tureen lids and gravy boats.

The headline of the Guardian on April 26 stated “Online project to cast new light on second world war”. The Sunday Times also ran this article.
They’re both talking about the imminent launch of WW2history.com, our ground-breaking digital publishing project for renowned historian Laurence Rees. It’s designed to be an accessible route to WW2 resources, with regularly updated content including film footage, witness statements and an interactive timeline.
WW2history.com is also revolutionary because it marks a move toward paid-for web content. As more and more publishers recognise the value of taking this type of content straight to web – without diluting their online presence with third-party advertising – it’s a trend that’s set to continue.
We took on the project back in February 2009, and have since spec’ed out the design, functionality, security and hosting issues for the site, leaving Laurence free to work with some of the academic world’s leading historians to bring together its exclusive content.
It’s been a fantastic experience for the Sunday team. Keep an eye on the blog for more stories as the site launches, including an interview with Laurence.

TED (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) is extraordinary and eclectic series of free conferences, packed with inspiring speakers and some of the most brilliant and articulate minds of our generation.
The current Sunday Publishing favourites, well worth checking out, are:
1. Ken Robinson on education – a brilliant analysis of how Western education systems fail to nurture creativity
2. Rory Sutherland on advertising – the most incisive and wittiest ad man in the UK
3. Tipping Point author Malcolm Gladwell on choice and happiness – as illustrated by spaghetti sauce
4. Hans Rosling on how unlocking data challenges our assumptions on the developing world
5. And finally, because he’s my old boss and a genius presenter, Julian Treasure on the effect of sound on our lives

With the 2010 election campaigns now in full swing, we’ve discovered a few online quirks to raise a smile. If you Google the Tories’ or Labour’s election campaign slogans (‘Vote for change’ and ‘A future fair for all’ respectively) you’ll find these websites:

It’s always exciting when a magazine breaks the mould. Fantastic Man did it three years ago when designer Jop van Bennekom and journalist Gert Jonkers set out to reinvent ‘the gentleman’s style journal’. The title’s minimalist design and fresh take on fashion photography – a knowing, arch style – had an immediate effect on the rest of the men’s magazine market.
