hi all

just got back from a well deserved family holiday in france, while there i read this really interesting book turning intelligence into magic by john hegarty creative director of BBH as anyone who knows about advertising will tell you about john’s illustrious career before and during the life of BBH began. it was so interesting reading john’s perspective on the creative process which has gone into some of advertising’s most memorable campaigns, the insights are valuable for anyone in the advertising/creative industries or indeed anyone in business i will be recommending this to all my freinds

back soon

After several years of working together with us Bob Cooper our web site designer has decided to take a step back to let someone else take the reins as we move forward with the development of our newest venture, into the world of e-commerce with the development of the soon to be launched shop7&8, which will soon be live on the newest of our sites www.sevenandeight.com , don’t worry will make sure you hear about it when it’s ready. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Bob for all the hard work on designing our much praised sites which he has designed for us, GrahamAtkinsHughes.com above & Location78.com below. As he sails off into his new career as a photo-retoucher (which he has had running along side his web work for the last few years) we wish Bob the best of luck and a huge thank you,

Graham & Jo

Myself and Jo spent a very interesting evening yesterday watching a live web stream of Sir Ken Robinson speaking last night @ Learning without Frontiers , Ken is a very entertaining & erudite speaker about the current crisis in education in our country and the western worlds model of what is considered to be a good education. I have see Ken talk online before at TED links here & here both are well worth spending time watching for any one who cares about the future and the next generation, because it’s going to be the next generation who can get us out of the mess we are in, new free thinkers is what we all need. The evening was hosted by Learning without Frontiers another interesting site to visit for more inspirational stuff, from inspirational people. I have read Ken’s book The Element after I had listen to him the first time, it’s amazing well worth a read, it reminded me how lucky I am to have found photography a job/passion I truly love doing

And lastly Happy St Patrick’s Day

hi all

i have just seen our good friend jonny trunk this morning and as well as telling me how warm he was inside his very red canada goose jacket he also told me about his sexy stocking fillers sale on his wonderful website, which i have just visited and got some fillers for my own stocking. i love jonny’s site it’s full of little treasures from the rich history of british music everything from folk to funk and all stops in between, so do check it out here www.trunkrecords.com , above are some examples of the great cover art which jonny uses, not only is it beautiful design but they really suit the music which is housed within
