Email: info@thedmlab.comSince we’re heavily into diet, nutrition, supplements and training, thought it might be a good (possibly insightful and interesting) idea to start blogging about it all. If you’ve met us, you probably know all about it as we bore EVERYONE to death about it all. On the other hand, it’s always a good conversation starter […]
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns on the Western Front fell silent #WWI #LestWeForget
We are lucky in that we have made many connections through various avenues. When we can, we always network, whether this is a BoB club or just a general get together. Through these we have met and worked with many great, supportive people and after working with them, we are never short of a referral […]
It’s obvious, good communication is paramount when it comes to developing (and more importantly completing) a project successfully for a client. This can be done in three ways. The first is progress meetings whether that’s on site with the client or at your studio / office. With the cloud, laptops and flash drives these meetings […]
We will be observing the 2 minute slience at 11am. Never forget.
SInce it’s X-Ray Day today, we thought that warranted a cool graphic – so here’s an x-ray of Mason. Seems to be in good nick!
When I was growing up, there were ‘Were Bears’. These were so cool, they were innocent looking teddy bears that you could turn inside out revealing an evil version of the teddy. Do you remember them? Wish I still had mine. However, came across these amazing teddies – Infect Tedz http://www.infect-tedz.co.uk/ – these are creative […]
Here at the Lab, we LOVE horror movies. One movie we were particularly looking forward to was The Babadook. An Australian horror, which if Wolf Creek is anything to go by, will be worth seeing! Anyway, we went to see it and it is a pretty different sort of horror. Genuinely creepy movie with no […]

Happy Bonfire Night! It’s the 5th of November – that can mean only 2 things: Take care of yourselves if you’re out celebrating this infamous date IT IS EXACTLY 8 WEEKS UNTIL 2015! Is your Business Prepared For 2015? Well, we are in the last quarter of 2014, autumn is almost here, Christmas is around […]
As a graphic designer, I always try to better myself on each project. It’s not only creating something that’s right for the client, but it’s an opportunity to try out new techniques, build upon ideas previously developed. It’s also about the portfolio. Why would we put something in our portfolio we weren’t happy with? Although […]
Just for a bit of fun, and as it’s Sandwich Day, thought we’d blog about our favourite type of sandwiches and fillings. We are heavily into diet, so sandwiches are a treat (we won’t bore you to death with carbohydrates etc – that can be for another time) so when they happen – they’re special! […]
As it is Halloween today, I would like to share with you my love for Creepypastas. If you’re already familiar with these, then we should be friends. If you’ve never heard of them, then here’s a little more information on them. They are short stories with a creepy situation, character or happening as the story’s […]
As it’s Checklist Day today, we’ve produced our very own – if you have a business, see which of these you can check off. If there’s any that you can’t, get in touch with us here at the Lab to ensure you have everything in place ready for 2015. It’s never too early to start […]
As it’s almost Halloween, here is my run down of horror movies I personally am looking forward to: Hangar 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdD0j4jyvX8 The Babadook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWERUsV6YJA The Pyramid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oET2FtZBAHQ&list=PLgMNVAsdd6GnWSqYBuEj7N9lNzJIZemFV Insidious: Chapter 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guP9BrAmyoI The Woman In Black 2: Angel Of Death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNMW4SRkwmA&list=PLgMNVAsdd6GnWSqYBuEj7N9lNzJIZemFV Based on these, have you got any suggestions we might have missed? Check out Horror […]
As it’s Animation Day, I wanted to write a short blog about one of my favourite cartoons on TV. Admittedly I should grow up but this particular cartoon is so odd, quirky but hellishly funny and deserves a mention. If you haven’t ever heard of it, you’ll thank me later. I am talking about ‘Adventure […]
Today is Animation Day! A subject that is close to my heart and also one I achieved a BA(Hons) in at university many moons ago. I’ll talk in detail in this blog post about how it’s used in the media. It’s a long one, so thanks in advance for reading it! Animation can be used […]
We’ve put together a list of our top 10 scary movies for Halloween. Yes some classics may have been missed out but we could only put 10 in but we could have easily compiled a top 100! The Exorcist Halloween Alien Deadbirds The Hills Have Eyes (2006) Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Texas Chainsaw Massacre […]
If you have a website, then you are either advertising yourself or selling a product. If your website is poorly designed or visually unappealing then it is a misrepresentation of yourself and could be costing you money. We are guilty of this, ensuring every one of our clients’ websites were as good as they could […]
Well, I don’t consider myself a punk, but the scene is cool. I am however a huge fan of punk music! Big fan of ‘pop punk’ growing up (New Found Glory, NOFX and Blink-182 to name a few) but there was a proper punk band that I have been a massive fan of since forever. […]
Here at the Lab, we are very diverse team, no one person is the same as the other. Music for example, if we have the radio on, something will come that one of us can’t stand, but the other likes, and vice versa. There are some overlaps though that we can both agree on. It […]
Digital marketing is such an exciting industry to work in. All the time methods are evolving, Google keeps us on our toes with algorithm changes, so you can never stay comfortable for long. It’s impossible to know everything all of the time, it’s all about learning, understanding and adapting techniques. It’s this continual state of […]
AS I GET OLDER, MY HANDWRITING HAS DETERIORATED SO BAD THAT IT JUST LOOKS LIKE SQUIGGLES. I USE A COMPUTER FAR MORE THAN I WRITE SO JUST OUT OF PRACTISE I SUPPOSE. HOWEVER I DO FIND THAT WHEN I DO WRITE THINGS DOWN, IT DOES TEND TO BE IN CAPITAL LETTERS…MORE FOR CLARITY THAN ANYTHING! […]
Here’s an interesting fact if you didn’t already know it – apple seeds contain cyanide, a powerful poison. Eating too many apple seeds can potentially be fatal but the dose of toxins in an apple is small enough that your body can easily detoxify it.
I, for one, am terrible at downloading and saving files straight to the desktop. They are easy to access instead of, you know, My Computer > Local Disk > work directory, work file. I’m so unintentionally lazy, but then come the end of the day or week if I’m being super lazy, I’ve got a […]
