But bordering on being OCD I’m not sure I’d put in my wallet as it wouldn’t line up with the other business cards I have in there! (Anal or what.) Also, is manufacturing a rubber stamp more ecological than printing a business card? That said, if I was on a jury, I’d give it a gong for originality.

The set? His Mac desktop. You sort of have to see it for yourself to understand; luckily, Dennis has dropped it on YouTube so that the world can see it in low-res glory. (continued…)


Innovative, and definitely cool. It doesn’t seem to be an “official” video for the song…but if it isn’t, it oughtta be. (Hey, Bird! Bee! Y’all paying attention?)

Got 5 minutes to kill? Or need to get in the mood as the day kicks off?

Every morning, I get a cup of tea and surf through a site that is solely about image book marking. It’s a mass collective of design and image conscious people who link and tag their favourite images online.

ps. Some images may not be entirely suitable for a stuffy work environment. Excellent.

I’m sure we’ve all come across most of these, if not all, but it begs the question, how do you handle them?

Do you have any tips to help designers who are just finding their feet? Any words of advice when handling a potentially difficult situation with a client?

Or do you have any quotes or funnies that aren’t on this list?
