One more thing you can do to get the best use of your money, instead of depending on any traveling agent, plan your own vacation. Do the research about the destination you are planning to explore which includes particular details on what you want and where you want to go. The topmost thing you should do is book the flights according to your trip date.  Next thing you can do is, book your trips and get your hotel reservations at least a month prior to your trip date.  Plan your trip for at least 8-10 days.  It will give you more time to explore different parts of the destination. From their culture to nature to local food, you can enjoy everything with your budget if you plan your trip in advance by Manerowski.

Question from left field: Start up people, who do you use for your corporate stash (tees, hoodies etc.)

Jonny Burch [18:38]

looking for something more reliable and faster than current provider

Jonny Burch [18:39]

we print a lot because we give them to our founding members (at osper.com)

Marco Paccagnella [19:14]

I've heard of many basically buying tshirts and hoodies from h&m and then printing over them at some local printer They said the final quality was better than online all-in-one services. This is not the suggestion you were looking for I guess @jonnyburch but for the sake of the discussion... :)

Marco Paccagnella [19:14]

(I mean blank coloured shirts and hoodies obviously)

Marco Paccagnella [19:15]

DIY haha

Suzanne [19:34]

Suzanne [19:34]

Jorn Vanysacker [15:14]

Jonny Burch [11:39]

@jonbstrong: it's all about the American Apparel. It's a dealbreaker for me!

Jonny Burch [11:40]

@vanja: iconprinting looks cracking, thanks!

Jonathan Baillie Strong [11:40]

:blush:

Joe Scarboro [11:58]

@jonnyburch: +1 for Icon, they're based in Shoreditch and we've used them for years. Happy to intro if needed (they're a 3beards partner, so they may do you a discount!)

@uxphil: Marvel vs Flinto: Marvel supports teams (and desktop) but process of creating prototypes is more clunky. Flinto delightfully simple (and not as buggy) but not good for collaboration or anything other than mobile.

Incidentally, Invision too full-featured for my team at present, got an account but not really using it.

Jonny Burch [12:05]

Not a question, now I look at it.

Philip Bonhard [12:11]

that's OK @jonnyburch - my tool of choice is Axure, mainly because I've been using it for years

Philip Bonhard [12:12]

I know that the Flinto / Marvel / InVision are very powerful too ...

Jonny Burch [12:12]

Ah yeah, not dipped much into axure, it felt like a time sink to learn for what we needed to do (fairly simple interactions for the most part) - same with proto.io, spent ages making a prototype with fields, bells and whistles then didnt learn much more than with static PNGs

Philip Bonhard [12:13]

I prefer the flexibility of Axure, especially when you have to design large apps / sites with 100s of pages

Jonny Burch [12:13]

>large apps / sites with 100s of pages

Yeah we don't need to prototype that big currently

Philip Bonhard [12:13]

I think Proto IO / Flinto / Marvel / InVision are great tools if you have a visual designer outputting PNGs etc quickly

Philip Bonhard [12:15]

Yeah, when I was designing NHS Blood (my.blood.co..uk), we had to keep tabs on 300+ pages including desktop, mobile web and hybrid app ... Site / App maps were absolutely key for that

Jonny Burch [12:16]

Interestingly the first project where that might become relevent might be coming up for me – if you were to pick up axure vs X now, what would you go for?

Philip Bonhard [12:21]

depends on scope, complexity and time to learn

Philip Bonhard [12:21]

and of course whether the organisation is using any of the tools

Philip Bonhard [12:21]

I'm using Axure again on a large enterprise intranet project

Marco Paccagnella [13:10]

nice discussion :thumbsup: . Agree on @jonnyburch analyzing pros and cons of Marvel vs Flinto vs Invision. Eventually, I often find myself more keen to use something super quick such as Marvel and just ship/update PNGs over and over again. I've never been in a situation like @uxphil described with hundreds of pages to manage...
