Well, we made it to 20! In October 1990 Steve and I jumped off the top of the Saatchi building into the shark infested start-up waters. We’ve been nibbled a few times but are still here to tell the tale, design the Ads and sell the T shirts. Two decades that have seen a seismic shift in the way agencies work – with the domination of the Mac, the demise of the repro industry (and the agency lunch) and the large scale de-mystification of the Advertising Industry in general.

About the only thing the client can’t do yet is the creative (!), though I believe Adobe are working on the software…

Oh Yes. A brand new iMac 27 inch arrived on my desk yesterday. Now I’m definitely not a computer geek, but this is a GORGEOUS piece of kit. Apple designers are as brilliant as their new 16:9 widescreen display with 2560×1440 resolution. Now I just need to update every single bit of software we have plus all the peripherals…

We like Veer. Stock photos, illustrations and fonts… All delivered with style and grace. A welcome breath of fresh air in a market full of ordinariness. veer.com – nice.

A recent convert to the runaway train that is Muse, I was blown away by the recent gig (almost literally, with a zillion watt sound system). Special mention for the visual show.

Brilliant.

Well. Does the world have room for MORE comment..? I think there’s some space left for erudite and insightful posts, on a range of design topics (if only I knew anyone who had them)…
