Go into your local bank. Pick up a brochure, or pamphlet about the services offered. There’s a good chance it will be printed in full colour, and may use colourful stock photography, but also be printed in a fairly bog-standard manner on cheap stock.
Rewind to the late 1980s and early 1990s…
Once again I’ve raided my [...]
I help AIS (Association of Interior Specialists) with printed promotional material. Toward the end of the year we produce a so-called round-up document that summarises the year’s milestones. This is purely a vehicle to remind their membership of the work done on their behalf, and to reinforce the benefits of membership. It could well be [...]
According to the BCA’s website…
The British Cartoon Archive is getting a major facelift!
Visit us at www.cartoons.ac.uk after 5 November 2008 to use our new, updated website.
A grant by the Joint Information Systems Committee is not only enabling the BCA to digitise the Carl Giles archive, the single most important archive of British newspaper cartoons, and [...]
I’m currently helping Mike Robinson with the development of Mloovi.com – a service developed to provide free translations from and to 24 languages via RSS feeds. What’s the fuss? Well, it’s the first time anyone has packaged this service in quite this way. The lowdown is that if you’re a blog author you can now [...]
Is it a recession, or is it a downturn, a trough, a long blip, a precipice? By crikey, I cannot be the only one frustrated that we seem to be talking ourselves into more trouble.

Amazon.com: Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic.
Somebody out there might be able to correct me, but I recall Dave Gibbons strongly justifying the confined panel and page layout of Watchmen. He was on a panel at some convention or other just as DC was releasing Watchmen – and I’m sure Dave would’ve mentioned the same rationale [...]

Just take a look at this picture. Go on. If you’re a cyclist would you even attempt to use this micro-diversion? Okay, granted somebody on a mountain bike tootling along at 5mph might not be jostled too much, but for any other cyclist, perhaps tooling along on a road bike or racer, would look upon [...]

I suppose we should be thankful that the school was open…
Grumpy old man mode/
At my primary school, during the 1970s, our playground was rarely gritted. The edges were done, and main through-ways – but not the playground itself.
The rear of the playground was hemmed in by a steep banking with a flight of 20 concrete [...]

Sometimes I cannot bear to watch the telly news. Last night it seemed to be full of dead and dying children: 3 month boy mauled by family dogs; Gazan father kisses dead baby goodbye; the Baby P case; Gazan orphan draw pictures of her dead family; and so it goes.
