Announcing PromPicker — the stress-free way to pick your prom date

Andrew Fox — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:38:08 +0000

We’re proud as punch to announce that PromPicker has launched — our brand new Facebook application that helps take the humiliation out of finding a date for the prom. Now if you’re a 37 year old father of one living in London, this may not be a pressing concern. But, if you’re a teenager in Milwaukee who can’t work out how to ask someone you like to the prom — this is just what you need.

Try the PromPicker app now on Facebook. Find out more on the PromPicker website and become a fan on the PromPicker Facebook Page.

The idea behind PromPicker was originally dreamt up by our art director Leslie. We collaborated with Ben and Marc from Neutron Creations to develop the app and it features gifts and logo design from Chip Wass.

The app is in ‘beta’ at the moment — we’re ironing out any issues before we fully launch later this year. If you come across bugs or have any comments at all, please feel free to tell us on the website or via PromPicker on Twitter.

At the very beginning of FoxLand’s life we always wanted to create our own productions. This will hopefully be the first of many — stay tuned.

FoxLand goes to town

Andrew Fox — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:13:43 +0000

After three fantastic years looking over London from the Hampstead hills, we’re now preparing ourselves to head down town. From Monday 2nd November we will be based at 74 Berwick Street in the heart of Soho. We’ve loved our time in Hampstead — it’s a beautiful, mellow and slightly eccentric part of London, but we’re looking forward to join the hubbub of life that is Soho. We will also now be much closer to many of our clients, friends — and (dangerously) the Apple Store.

The beautiful image was originally from an 1861 edition of The Illustrated London News and was digitised by MAPCO.
Take a look at the full image on the MAPCO website where you’ll find many other beautiful maps and images…

Inayaili is an “amazing female role model for web designers”

Andrew Fox — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:09:49 +0000

We knew she was great already, but we’re still proud that Inayaili has been nominated as one of 40 amazing female models for web designers at Line25.

New Land

We’re thrilled to announce that Calum and his wife Sally gave birth to Casper Sammy Land on the 15th of July. They’re all doing fantastically well and are enjoying every moment. Calum is loving his paternity leave (possibly a bit too much according to his twittering) and is already indoctrinating Casper with obscure Liverpool Football Club lore. While Hampstead is a much quieter place with his absence, we’re all looking forward to him being back next week (although I think he is possibly less enthused).

Welcome to the new FoxLand

Andrew Fox — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:10:02 +0000

For the win

At long last, we present the new FoxLand. We’ve completely rethought our identity, message and website. Our old identity and website were built very quickly when we first launched as a company in 2006, and while it served us well, we felt it was too restrictive, did not accurately represent us, and was, well… too red.

The website is in beta, and there are still a few rough edges out there. If you come across any, or have any problems, please do get back to us. In particular, if you are using Internet Explorer 6 we’d love to hear your experiences. We’ll be tweaking and updating the website over the next few days and weeks, improving it and adding necessary features.

As part of our website redesign we have completely rethought our case studies, in particular our featured examples. Currently we just have featured case studies for The Prince’s Charities, BSI and Macmillan Cancer Support, but over time we will add more.

Over the next few weeks we will add journal posts talking about some of the reasoning, thinking and inspiration behind our changes — so stay tuned.

A Fox cub

It gives us great pleasure to announce that on 4th March 2009 Andrew’s partner Meadbh gave birth to a beautiful little girl called Charlotte Sóirse Metrustry-Fox aka just Sóirse. Mum, dad and daughter are all doing really well and are ecstatically happy.

Sóirse is already following in dad’s footsteps and we’re sure it won’t be long before she’s typing her first bit of code. In the mean time she’s keeping mum and dad busier than our clients ever have.
