Poster by Ed Hall, inspired by this list. I’m not sure I agree with all of these and it isn’t an exhaustive list either but it is a starting point and a fun poster.
The London Olympics 2012 are only 191 days away! That sounds like a very short time, considering how long we have all been looking forward to it for. I may be slightly behind with this but I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now and I was reminded of it this morning...
Where does the creative process begin? You could argue that the creative process begins with the decision to become a designer.

It was made by a company called Method of Action which is a peer-to-peer education for people who want to get things done. KernType is a game that will help you understand...
I can’t believe I whizzed passed 3 years and 300 posts without even realising! Thank you to everyone who has supported, commented, read this blog and just been generally awesome over the last 3 years. It’s mad to think that it was 3 years ago since I was at the beginning of my second year...
I’ve been creating my own hand drawn typographical project, to keep me drawing in my free time and also to see what I come up with. I loved studying typography at University and I don’t really get the opportunity to look into the art and beauty of it as much as I’d like to at work so...
I use Google reader to keep track of blogs which are being updated, just to keep up with current design news and hear about what others are up to. The thing is, I follow 274 different blogs and they have been added to my list over the last 2 years. Google reader tells me daily...
