Exciting Times

Started an internship at Share Creative a couple of weeks ago, got a mention on the blog this week, check it out...

Love designing all day!

Mystery typeface

I love these stunning 'multi-type' decorative letterforms used in the May 2009 French Vogue - they're used in titles and as versals. However I haven't been able to find out what the typeface is; was it created for Vogue or previously established?

We pushed our greenwashing project further and 'eco-branded' a few more products: Sodium Chlorate weedkiller, rat poison and a particularly attractive fluorescent yellow cleaner.

Pushing the Greenwashing Boundaries

In response to the 'greenwashing' phenomenon that is the uniform design of most ecological projects these days, Ellie Goodwin and I gave ourselves a quick brief to tick some eco-branding boxes and greenwash a very un-ecological product. How friendly could we make white spirit seem without starting to mislead?

Nice

RE: 'Fake tears' post

An awful thing happened a while ago. In the midst of one particularly emotional conversation, it was pointed out to me that tears were in fact emerging from the CENTRE of my eyes, thereby proving my previous angry rampage and judgements about this phenomenon inaccurate. I feel I must apologise, and can but attempt to communicate my disappointment in myself. Clearly this is something that happens in real life after all.
