The natural world translated into digital, exploring the processing of information. 10 years of evolution marked by a 10 sided decagon to represent pixels.

—Experimentation can generate interesting ideas.

The mark is inspired by Old English text book typography—where the S&F are similar in form [see here]. With my love of design and photography the mark naturally lent itself to being symmetrical creating an extra dimension of the heart – without being too overt.

Simplicity is important and helps create a timeless feel.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to the locals for welcoming me back to sunny Cumbria! Such kindness—looking forward to the new adventure!

Debbie Smyth – amazing installation work; she draws with thread!

Letman – all about creative letterforms; reminiscent of the chief typographic explorer – Sagmeister.

Before the new year my sisters stopped smoking—I’m very proud of them both! But, what made them kick the habit? It certainly wasn’t the ‘shock tactic’ images… (nothing seems to shock people these days). However, when they sat down and worked out how much their habit was costing them—they questioned: was it actually worth it? (obviously the health reasons come into play). So maybe it raises the question – what about a fresh approach? The economic climate could be used as a driving force to help get the message across – people are tightening the purse strings…

Or, with the existing health warnings (instead of using images evoking surgical procedures or Jack The Ripper) they could connect more emotionally and realistically; so people understand plain and simple—the shock value just doesn’t seem do do the trick. We have become desensitised.

We stayed in Tallaght, just South of Dublin, with stunning views of the Wicklow Mountains and opposite the Shamrock Rovers Stadium.

Before booking the trip, we assumed Dublin would be full of quaint little Irish pubs with fairly traditional small towns. Surprisingly—Tallaght didn’t seem to have the quaint pubs we were hoping, however, the more central to Dublin you were the more obvious it became you were in Ireland! Staying only a few nights, we managed to soak up some atmosphere in Oliver St. John Gogarty, enjoying a bit of foot tapping and hand clapping to traditional Irish jigs as well as a bit of shopping on Grafton Street!

Always drawn to the coast; we also traveled North to Howth—a small fishing village. Enjoying the hillsides and walks along the piers to see Ireland’s Eye and the busy harbour:
