This gives prospective students a taste of the success that studying with the Sa&iuml;d Business School can bring.</p><p>The interactive charts are all driven by jQuery and tracked with Google event tracking to allow us to see which sections are most popular. Using jQuery instead of Flash ensures that the site works on a wider range of platforms, including iOS devices. Some charts also have the ability to see the previous years&rsquo; data &ndash; throughout the report we have created clear infographics, making all the information easy for the user to consume and compare.</p><p>Have a look at the MBA report <a title="MBA careers" href="http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/mbacareers/default.htm" target="_blank">here</a> &ndash; we&rsquo;re now working on the MFE report, due to go live later this month.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2012 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/181</guid></item><item><title>Positive's very own fuel saving stove!</title><link>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/180</link><description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/uploaded_images/stove copy-1334741028.jpg" /><p>Since we worked with Send a Cow on their Spring Campaign, we have wanted to try our hand at one of their African Garden techniques &ndash; and here it is: the Positive fuel saving stove!</p><p>Built with a (messy!) mix of clay, sand and soil, it was great fun to make and took less than 2 hours. The stove was beautifully crafted into shape by Andrew, with the addition of the Positive logo the finishing touch.

By using a carousel technique and brilliant bespoke illustrations, we&rsquo;ve made the content really engaging and easy to consume. We&rsquo;ve also taken the African Gardens theme through the website, including support for their latest appeal to fund 5,000 Keyhole Gardens in Africa. These gardens recycle as they grow and are especially useful in areas where good soil is scarce, often adding nutritious vegetables to diets. <a title="Appeal link" href="https://www.sendacow.org.uk/5000-keyholes" target="_blank">Find out more</a> about how you can help.</p><p>There&rsquo;s also a great competition to meet celebrity gardener Toby Buckland &ndash; just send in your top gardening tip to be in with a chance to win &lsquo;<a title="Tea with Toby" href="http://www.sendacow.org.uk/tipsfortoby/" target="_blank">Tea with Toby</a>&rsquo;!</p><p>It&rsquo;s been a fantastic project to work on and now we've got our very own Bag Gardens from Send a Cow, to thank us for all the work.

With many overseas students, Sa&iuml;d wanted to be able to give a flavour of the course and environment to those who would not be able to attend an Open Day in person.</p><p>This was a great opportunity to create a fresh, new approach to the Open Day format (which, after doing some research, we felt was very much needed!). Many of Sa&iuml;d&rsquo;s competitors had chosen to use gimmicky scenes to imitate the environment, with the content and viewing experience an afterthought. We wanted to move away from this and create something simple, where the content was the priority.</p><p>With a modern use of the Sa&iuml;d brand, the microsite has been designed to be a simple and enjoyable experience &ndash; there are no hidden sections or confusing navigation systems.   From first glance the user can instantly see what is available. We have created a microsite that puts the content first: large videos, large images, and a simple and clear area to ask questions....oh and of course, the whole thing works wonderfully on tablets too.</p><p>The result is a <a title="Virtual Open Day" href="http://legacy.sbs.ox.ac.uk/html/virtualmbaopenday/" target="_blank">Virtual Open Day</a> that encapsulates the qualities of Sa&iuml;d Business School and Oxford itself.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/177</guid></item><item><title>Peace &amp; Goodwill from D Young &amp; Co</title><link>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/176</link><description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/uploaded_images/Capture-1324399661.jpg" /><p>For D Young &amp; Co this Christmas, we've taken the design of their printed card and created this classic and elegant animation.</p><p>Peace &amp; Goodwill isn't the only thing you can expect this Christmas - <a title="D Young Xmas" href="http://www.dyoung.com/winter11/" target="_blank">click here</a> to find out more...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/176</guid></item><item><title>Quote of the day</title><link>http://www.positivestudio.co.uk/blog/175</link><description><![CDATA[ <p>&ldquo;Why are we trying to measure social media like a traditional channel anyway?
