I think it’s fair to say we all enjoyed the Olympic games. We’ve also the benefit of it starting again with the Paralympics.

New Business Cards
Today we took delivery of our new business cards. We opted for the ‘luxe’ option which offers a weight of 600gsm. With a normal business card being 350gsm, these cards are nearly twice as thick. We hope to be ‘wowing’ new clients with our new cards in the near future.

Towards the end of last month I had the opportunity to work on something ‘just for fun’. Every now and again it’s just great to work on something where the client is happy with whatever you produce. Solas is a Scottish based music and arts festival which gives Scottish artists a ‘space’ to express themselves. [...]
Everyone has a type
I recently had the chance to see and hear Simon Garfield, author of ‘Just My Type’, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The event was extremely well attended and not just by the ‘type geeks’, of which I include myself, but by ‘normal people’. ”I didn’t expect such a variety of people”, mused my ‘special [...]
