New issue of IdN Now in Stock


We now have in stock the new issue of IdN magazine- The Self Promotion issue...

There are few professions for which self-promotion is more important then that of graphic designers, for it is on the material that they produce to sell their own services that they will be judged. And if designers can’t design a decent piece of self-promotional materials, what hope do they have of convincing a potential client that they could do a good job for them? Our biggest-ever feature, presenting the self-referential work of 25 artists and their views on how best to introduce yourself to the world

For more information, visit the IdN website here and whilst you are there, also check out the new IdN extra which is also in stock.

Neal Fox 2000 Light Years from Home

We took a little trip to Munich last week to go to the Private View of Neal Fox's latest exhibition 2000 Light Years from Home at the Galerie Daniel Blau. The show was a great success for Neal and much fun was had over the course of the two nights we were there. We would like to thank Daniel for being such a great host and wining and dining us during our stay.
