What Does Armadillo Studios Do? | Aug 24, 06:40 PM

On August 31st, Armadillo Studios Inc., will celebrate the beginning of our fifth year as a web design outfit.

Over the past five years we’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of great clients on a whole spectrum of projects in Calgary and across North American. We’ve built online identities for a range of different businesses, partnered-up as consultants with our Drupal and WordPress expertise and even worked as social media consultants to help kick start some very successful campaigns. We’ve also lent our skills to a variety of non-profit causes; from the yycPhotobook project to the yycapps.com project to the SXSWiseasy campaign to helping the DCFoodForAll project. But in the busy and hectic world of web design, as an organization we have never really explained what we do.

So what better time to do this then in the weeks leading up to our fifth year of existence. As they say, better late than never.

It’s well known that Team Armadillo is unapologetically proud to be Calgarian. So with the 2011 edition of the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede officially kicking off today, we thought it was time revive our much loved Stampede Desktop Wallpapers.

This year we’ve kicked our designs up a notch.

Instead of two we now have four brand spanking new designs (including a Twitter design for the #yyc crowd) and we also have iPhone/iPod Touch compatible designs. Similar to last year, the designs leverage Veer’s amazing Calgary Font (Civic pride for the win?) and GoMedia’s Western Vector Pack.

So for your enjoyment here are The 2011 Armadillo Stampede Wallpapers!

Armadillo's Visit to Coworkyyc | Feb 28, 11:08 PM

Earlier in January, I had the wonderful pleasure to finally go and visit Calgary’s only Coworking Office – CoWorkyyc.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of Coworking, it is essentially a shard office environment which individuals (or small businesses) can rent out in monthly or daily rates. It’s a collective place which allows small businesses and individuals to move away from the isolating confides of their living rooms to a shared space with like minded individuals. It’s quite a popular trend for consultants, free-lancers and up and coming tech companies.

Armadillo Studios and Drupal Camp | Sep 7, 12:57 PM

We are excited! … Correction.

We are incredibly stoked to be a bronze level sponsor of Drupal Camp Alberta this September 11th and 12th at the University of Calgary.

This is the first time in it’s three year history that Drupal Camp Alberta will be held in our hometown of Calgary, Alberta. So to recognize such a great step forward for the Drupal community, we thought we’d provide a bit of sponsorship and a hand for this merry band of Lethbridge designers.
