I have just created a new Icon for a London Photographer called Prince Singh. The brief was to create a new typographic based brand with 2 letters intertwining. The letters were formed out of original scribblings in the note pad, then they were scanned into Adobe Photoshop, then they were brought into Illustrator where the vector drawing was created. here are a couple of other rejected scriblings

Eventually after tweaking a few bits here and there we came to a final brand that we were all happy with.

Visions of Britain 2020 is a few of working in Britain in 10 years time. It is to be used over the next year to deliver research findings in the workplace. Set across 3 aspects of work life – Employment, Ageing and retirement, Health and well being.

“We start our Visions of Britain 2020 series by looking at work and employment in 2020.
We reveal how we think the workplace will look like a decade from now, and cast light on the impact
on both the job market and the 2020 worker.”

Just had an email from Victoria Twead saying that her book is now available in all good book stores including Harrods:

Hello Giles,

Just to let you know that ‘Chickens’ is finally released, selling well (it’s even in Harrods) and that the cover looks fabulous!

‘Chickens’ is available online now from Amazon, WH Smith, Barnes and Noble, Waterstones and direct from my website. Then I got a surprise. Waterstones in Harrods, London, have ordered some copies. How exciting is that? Just to put icing on the cake, ‘Chickens’ sold out in the first few days on Amazon.UK and I’ve had some excellent reviews. I can hardly believe it’s all really happening…

It is all true, and pretty unbelievable. He also featured on the John Peel Radio 4 show home truths a few years ago about this trip. It’s a great tale and will be published by Random House/Preface early 2010.
