Animation from my Saturday Social session this week. I work with students and design agencies on these projects exploring new ways of working. These frames are all individual screen prints. Trying to get a sense of texture into the work. No AI in this.

There are many people that will have small impact on you. There are are small number of people that will fundamentally change you as a person, a soul and a human. I’ve been privileged to know before during and after.

We hugged and cried this week. And it felt great. Can’t wait for the next hug. You have been so kind to me over the years.

Have a great trip back and see you soon.

Love to you and yours.

All make a change while you can.

Call for entries!

I’m working on a new edition of The Layout Book for Bloomsbury press. First published in 2015 this is the latest update.

I still have some pages for new context from agencies and designers. DM me if you have recently done a layout pricy that pushes the boundaries or leans into historical classics.

Can be print or online work. I’m also interested in layout systems that work across multiple platforms. Both formal and more informal approaches to design including analogue and digital based design.

Printing, packaging and posting book all this week. The book is a series of prompts around design and creative thinking. The Rukes of Grafik Design + Creativity isn’t really a book of rules, but rather approaches to design practice.

‘The Rules of Grafik Design + Creativity’ - don’t be fooled by the title, these aren’t rules, but more an approach to design and life itself.

Finally finished my interview poster with and

In journal section at www.unseensketchbooks.co.uk

In this Plastikcomb magazine interview I had the opportunity to speak to the magazine’s founder Aaron Beebe. I came across Plastikcomb a few years back, and admired the freedom and bravery of the collection of articles and contributors.

I’ve become increasingly interested in the rise of magazines and independent publishers currently looking at the role of graphic design in contemporary design, and arguably Plastikcomb is at the vanguard of that movement.

Followig an exchange of emails and conversations about all things design, Unseen Sketchbooks started stocking and working with Plastikcomb. This interview is the first I’ve done in a new format. Following the interview we worked up a phrase from the dialogue into an edition screen print.

I used Kraft paper and what the university call a ‘multi functional device’, which is a photocopier in any other place. I like the degradation you can get with these processes. Running it through multiple times to get a saturated overprint.
