Weekly Business Recap: WC 20th January
Welcome Back to the Latest Roundup at Smart Web Design Agency! – The Second of 2025!
Here’s a look at what’s been happening this week:
It’s officially live… and Luke Tatchell can’t stand it!
The long-awaited (and somewhat controversial) Instagram update is here: posts are now 1080x1350px instead of the classic 1080x1080px. The beloved square has been stretched, but hey, let’s focus on the positives… more room to get creative and make your posts pop!
For creators and brands alike, this new format opens up a world of design possibilities. Whether you’re showcasing a stunning product photo, a bold graphic or a whimsical illustration, the extra vertical space invites you to reimagine your content. It’s time to embrace the change and let your creativity shine.
Office Shenanigans: Embracing the Chill
POV: It’s icy outside our office… so naturally, we thought, “Let’s have some fun!”
Cue a series of not-so-Olympic-worthy moments as we braved the frosty conditions. Whether it’s a bit of clumsy skating or dodging icy patches with dramatic flair, the cold weather certainly kept us entertained. Winter blues? Not in our office!
ChatGPT is Down – But Don’t Panic!
CHAT GPT IS DOWN!
Yes, you heard it right. ChatGPT is currently down, leaving many scrambling for alternatives. But don’t let the downtime dampen your productivity! Here are some brilliant options to explore: Bing Chat, Claude by DeepAI, Google’s Bard and Jasper.AI
Each of these platforms brings something unique to the table, whether it’s generating creative content, answering complex questions or simply offering a reliable AI experience. Keep your creative juices flowing and give them a try!
Exploring the January Furniture Show
Yesterday, Luke Tatchell, Hatim Rajabali and Kumel Singh Heer attended the January Furniture Show at The NEC, Birmingham.
The event was an incredible opportunity to dive into the world of innovative furniture design and connect with a diverse range of brands. From contemporary styles to timeless classics, the exhibition was bursting with inspiration.
Beyond the stunning furniture pieces, the show highlighted the creativity and passion behind each brand. It’s safe to say we’ve returned with fresh ideas and a renewed appreciation for the art of design.
Final Thoughts
From Instagram’s game-changing update to icy antics and exciting industry events, this week has been one for the books. Whether we’re navigating new tech challenges or exploring creative horizons, the energy and enthusiasm never wane. Here’s to another week of growth, laughter and inspiration!
