Hullo

If you've arrived here via Delicious or Kottke, welcome. Have a seat and let me show you around.

This is how we do things around here. We talk about design, most of the time graphic design and little else. You really ought to check out some of the stuff about Britain's Greatest Graphic Designer (RIP), a layman's explanation of kerning and this post grandiosely titled The Future Of Graphic Design. No humility around here.

Over here you can find out why the number 10 at Downing Street is wonky and  if you're a student there's some stuff which may or may not be useful. Should you be so inclined you can contact me here.

Comments, comments, comments. We all love comments. You can be rude, obtuse, you can even plug your own enterprises, anything goes in the comments section. So type away.

There you go. Enjoy.

Hullo there.
I'm an 18 year old student. Currently writing a study on Alan Fletcher. Going to London College of Communication next year to do a Graphic Design Foundation. Well on track to becoming fully infected with The Disease.
I really enjoy your blog.
Don't remember how i first ended up here, but now check you daily.
I'm normally one of those just reading and learning non-commenting people.
But here you go.
A comment.
Maybe more soon... If you're lucky.

So, Elle - is it Garamond, Arial, Helvetica, Arial or Univers for you ?

Or Frazzles, or Monster Munch, Seabrook's or Innocent or some other fruit bab ?

Sorry to put you on the spot - but you better get used to it if you're mixing in these circles. They're experts you know. BEN, for example - has the word 'FOUNDER' (my capitals) in his job title.

hi ben
Another college student here, studying design at the University of Nebraska. Been reading your blog for about a year now. Good stuff. Just thought you might be interested to know that you have even reached the desolate great plains of the U.S...
