W4D Go APE!!!
October 15th, 2009
To challenge the W4D team both mentally and physically an away day was organised at GO APE set in the middle of Sherwood forest.
It’s not in the dictionary, but if it was, Go Ape would be described as a ‘high-wire forest adventure’. It comprises of a giant obstacle courses up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire, and top it all off with the country’s best zip lines.
Pete Goes APE!
The result is spectacular.
Erin goes APE!
The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all builds a team experience, which all at W4D thoroughly enjoyed.
Thanks to the GO APE team for a great day.
Web4Design Go APE!

Creative Futures Event
April 16th, 2009
Web4Design are pleased to announce that they will be attending the Creative Futures event on Thursday the 23rd April 2009.
Do you dream of having a future in creative art and design? Ever thought about pursuing a career as a fashion designer, music composer or a choreographer? Then LeicestHERday’s “Creative Futures” event is made for you!
This FREE drop in event is being held on Thursday 23rd April 2009, 10.00am till 5.00pm at The Park/Aylestone Working Men’s Club, Saffron Lane, Leicester. It promises to be a fun and informative day designed for people to pursue skills and jobs in Creative Industries.
The day will offer attendees the chance to interact with people who have achieved successful careers in these fields and put their questions to them. Lively practical sessions are planned for all who attend in fashion and textiles, performing arts, hair and beauty, graphic design and multimedia to name a few. All are designed to give people the chance to explore this sector through hands on activities.
The event is funded by the Skills for Sustainable Communities Lifelong Learning Network, a partnership of colleges and universities in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Rutland. Laura Houghton from the Network says: “We are delighted to support this event to help people living in Leicester find out more about the exciting career and education opportunities available. We hope to run similar events in other sectors if the event is a success.”
Opportunities in these industries are thriving but many may feel discouraged from entering such careers as they do not think they have the creative ability. This event will show that it is possible to have successful careers in these industries and will inspire attendees to reach for their aspirations.
Clare Farrow, event co-ordinator for LeicestHERday Trust said: ‘This is a fabulous opportunity to come along and see the variety of courses and careers available in creative industries. It should be a real eye opener and we hope to inspire all our visitors.’

Get the Colour right from your printer!
November 26th, 2008
Web4Design has introduced a novel solution to colour matching with the introduction of ColourMatcher. This innovative and easy to use solution allows you to print out a colour book from your own printer, in turn allowing you to create palettes which can then be used in Photoshop and Illustrator. This simple but effective solution takes the guess work out of colour matching and allows you to review your palettes on a seasonal basis.

Helping the Fashion Retailer go GREEN
October 6th, 2008
Many people go to their wardrobe each day without a second thought as to the time and effort which goes into making a garment. The process of designing can be timely and quite consuming, in particular the amount of paper which is used in communicating design and pattern information to their factories.
Some of these matters can now be addressed by using an industry leading application like Adobes Creative Suite 3 in conjunction with the focused and tailor-made training from W4D. Quite simply by using the PDF publishing facility in CS3 you can save a large amount of paper, which can only be a good thing!
