CBBC Junior Vets

Children's vet game

Do you have what it takes to become a Junior Vet? Working with TV production company True North and the CBBC team, we devised and produced the Junior Vets online game allowing kids to get stuck-in and help animals. Using a range of game styles you can level-up to unlock interesting new creatures and treatment types.

20th Century Composers

We’ve completed another delightful visualisation for the Open University based around sixty 20th Century Composers. Working with Dr Ben Winters and Dr Jonathan Rees we created the visualisation to allow users to quickly overview how these composers relate to one another by style, interest, background and relationship.
