Drop Card for Musicians and Bands // Lost in Audio

We've just finished a Drop-Card design for Lost in Audio which looks fabulous.



A Drop Card is a great new way of distributing music - essentially it's a really neat credit card sized  piece of plastic that contains a website address and a unique code that allows the user to download music, video's and photographs. It's perfect for bands and musicians of course as it's easy to setup and is very flexible in that it allows the content to be changed at no extra cost - plus it's cool and collectable.

The layout, design, photography and setup was all done by 80eight Photography & Design - so if you're in a band or are a solo musician, please call us to see what we can do for you. Great music deserves great images and design.

Innovative Portrait Photography

Here at 80eight we don't just deliver photographs, we deliver an event. We strive to produce photographs that are different, quirky and eye-catching. Just like the one here. If, like most us, you're the kind of person who doesn't like having pictures taken or hanging up on the wall, then you might like something like this.

This is a striking photograph without or without the human subject and would look great wherever you choose to place it. We're also looking at innovative ways of delivering these photographs - so watch this space!

Scottish Motorsport Photography at Duns MX




Being keen motorsport fans we went up to the fabulous Motocross Circuit at Duns last weekend to catch a race or two. The weather was sunny and the action was great. The circuit is just amazing with lots of jumps and turns, while the Borders MX Club did a great job of making sure everything ran smoothly. It's our first time there, but we'll certainly be back - especially for the British MX Championship round which is being held on the 2nd of May.

Many thanks to Chris Macvie for giving us access to the circuit. Chris also has a great web design business based in Edinburgh - check his work out here.
