◥ Me, Wife & Kids next to York Castle.
I have just returned from a couple of days camping a few miles away from the ancient City of York (England). I went with my family and some other family members. We had plenty of sunshine and it turned out to be a great short break away.

I’m sure you read articles about how to shake a client’s hand—or how not to. About 10 years ago, I once shook the hand of a client, who gave me the lamest, most limp-wristed hand shake ever—and I have always remembered it. Shorty after receiving payment from this client, with no cover letter or thank you note with the cheque, I remembered that dreaded handshake that basically said “I don’t like you”.
Ever since then, I have always given any client [I physically met] a very firm handshake. I never want to give a lame handshake like the one I received 10 years ago. However, recently I went to meet some clients that I was producing some work for (which was large-format prints, so I was physically erecting the display work). [...] Continue Reading…
Just a quick update to let you know that I’m now on Dribbble. I was kindly drafted a few weeks ago by follow designer Chad Engle of Fuel Your Creativity (you can view his work on Dribbble). [...] Continue Reading…
I’ve had the concept for this poster in-mind for many months now. It’s based on the premise that it doesn’t matter what order the letters of a word are in—just as long as the first and last letters are in the correct place (according to researchers at Cambridge University).
For example, try reading this:
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Cool huh? I thought so too. My thinking is that the sentence on the poster design should read “You Can Read Better Than I Can Design Posters“. I hope no explanation is necessary regarding to humorous nature of the design (?) The image below shows some detail from the poster, with a slightly-patterned background effect.

I recently wrote an article about the unique media designed by 5inch. Yesterday, I was clearing up some paperwork in my office, and found this CD artwork I designed for a local band a few years ago. [...] Continue Reading…
Apologies if you have visited my site over the past couple of days and have clicked on links that took you to spam-sites. My site is hosted over at Media Temple, where there has been a system-wide incident.
Basically, malicious code was injected into the WordPress blogs from a certain section of their servers. If you are hosted by (mt) on their Grid Server, you may want to check out their solution to the problem. The solution isn’t easy if you’re not competent with using phpmyAdmin (like myself) but follow the instructions and contact support if you get stuck. To be fair, the support over at (mt) were pretty good. [...] Continue Reading…
