// Action Book
Does anyone have a Behance Action Book? I have a bit of a soft spot for nice stationery, and I’ve had my beady eye on this since I saw an orange version on my Creative Director’s desk and felt severe...

// Things I love (I)
This is partially inspired by Gala’s ‘Things I Love Thursday’, but also by the fact there are such a lot of things I see online which I love, but have no real ‘outlet’ for, apart from to add them to my...

// Portfolio design
I spent some time during the last couple of afternoons looking for portfolio designs – very few of which were anything to write home about, and a vast array use Lightbox technology. Sure, it looks...

// Colour of the Year
So, turquoise just got crowned Colour of the Year, 2010 by Pantone. In 2007, I got engaged, and during 2008 we decided our main wedding colour would be turquoise. Since I get married in Summer 2010...

// Christmas by Colour
Just before Christmas, I stumbled across Christmas by Colour. I think (correct me if I’m wrong) Christmas by Colour came about in 2008 to try and escape those bog-standard Christmas colours we find...

// Top 10 fonts of 2009
Those who know me will be aware that Calluna is way up there in my [proverbial] list of ‘favourite fonts ever’. Now, I don’t actually have a list, but if I did I think that Calluna would be sitting...

I get weekly emails from both Typography Served & Photography Served. This week, rather than the typography, it was actually some of the showcased photography which caught my eye – in particular...

// Nike Plus
At the weekend, my fiancé and I made what I would class as an ‘investment’. We bought a new pair of Nike running shoes (you can see mine here), and a Nike+ sportband each. Naturally I got the white...

// It’s been a while…
I really need to get back into blogging. I’ve really missed it, and I have so many things I’d like to write about, it’s just finding the time to do so. Work has been very busy recently, and I’ve been...

// Presco Print Finishing Supplies
I just wanted to take the opportunity to post a quick review. As a designer, who is getting married in August, it seemed only natural that I would embark upon the challenge of designing my own wedding...

// Fonts: ligatures
I’ll keep this brief, but I’ve been baffled recently when working on a logo development project (freelance) as to just how many typefaces don’t include a simple ‘fi’ ligature. I’ve mentioned in the...

// Wedding Prep
As some of you will know, I’m a designer who’s getting hitched at the end of August. It makes perfect sense that of course I would design everything that needs to be designed. Invites, table plan,...

No, that’s not designer clothing, but rather than profession of being a designer, and all things designer-geek that go with the territory… As you’ll have no doubt gathered by now, I do have a bit of a...
