The Joy of Cycling, now scandalising the crowds at the London Transport Museum
A few weeks ago I was delighted to find my entry to the Association of Illustrators Cycling in London poster competition had been shortlisted as a prize-winner.

The speaking season is clearly upon us, since I’ll be speaking again following my presentation to The Typographic Circle, at Glug Brighton on Friday 9th July.
Airside: Typadelic, a talk at the Typographic Circle 24th June 2010
Just a quick update whilst I’m on holiday, but I wanted to let those who might be interested that I’ll be speaking at The Typographic Circle along with Airside’s Alex Maclean on the 24th June 2010.
The Joy of Cycling, Five Essential Tips To Get You Riding
During my time at Airside I’ve pitched a great number of ideas to many different clients, but as with all pitching, some of the ideas that you’re just convinced will go through inevitably fall by the wayside. Most of the time they fall for a very good reason, infact most ideas reveal themselves to be quite half-baked with the luxury of time. However some ideas, a very select few, become fondly remembered like an old eccentric uncle you can’t quite forget. The Joy of Cycling is one of these projects.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the Airplot identity I designed at Airside has won a place in the 2010 I.D. Annual Design Review.
All the legendary Airside t-shirts will be there...
From Friday 23rd April to Saturday 24th April 2010, Airside will finally be hosting a huge clearance sale of every single Airside product we’ve created since the studio began nearly 14 years ago.
Goodbye Petunia, you'll be sorely missed...
The other day I happened to stumble across the last picture I ever took of Petunia before she met a fate one can only guess of. The poor girl was just one part of Airside’s sprawling contribution to Designer’s Block, a street-wide exhibition that was part of the 2007 London Design Festival.

Seeing how planetary exploration rarely graces the pages of Creative Review, it’s easy to picture the expressions worn by an audience comprised mainly of creatives, as I wheeled out the first slide of my talk: ‘A Graphic Designer’s Guide to: The Pioneer 10 Plaque’.

Last summer, as part of the Design Museum’s Super Contemporary season, I joined fellow Airsiders Nat Hunter, Fred Deakin and Malika Favre to talk about every (yes, every) single job that had passed through the studio in the past 6 months.

Seeing how this is the first post of a new blog, I’m conscious that things look a little sparse. With this at the forefront of my mind I think it might be useful to link back to a few of the more coherent posts I wrote for the Airside blog over 2009. A good place to start would be some of my Process posts.
