    Like a lot of bloggers I am the recipient of many spam comments and they are easy to spot because they are usually on posts that are quite old, from dodgy websites and sometimes just plain weird. This means I almost ignored the lovely Keren from Brown Trading Company when she left a comment about…

    With a tagline of ‘a magazine for the creative and curious’ it’s little wonder that I feel like Uppercase has been created just for me. This mag is a goldmine of stories and inspiration all focused around a loosely defined theme – bees for issue #9, which is reflected in the gorgeous use of honeycomb…

    Well these are just 2 of the quirky designs available from Blik – wall graphics for the commitment-phobic. I spend a lot of my time convinced that no one makes anything I want to buy these are definitely an exception (as were the red desert boots I bought yesterday but that’s another story).

    This is where most of my energy has been expended over the last week. This is assignment #2 for uni, which is due in 2 weeks, and it seems an extraordinary amount of work for the marks and time frame allowed… am I sounding grumpy? We have to produce an invite, catalogue and promotional gift…

    Hey friends… sorry for my absence, did you miss me? I’ve had a very emotionally charged week that has left me feeling exhausted, confused and just plain angry. I’m hoping to get back on track next week. About my photo – the high point of my week was visiting my parents house with the boys.…

    This is what I’ve been toiling away at for the last month. My next Uni assignment which is due in a little over a week. It’s an 8 page magazine and the mock-ups to a 5 page website for a fictitious magazine called LOL – Life out Loud. Drawing on inspiration from magazines like Dumbo…
