My daughter insists that I read her ‘That Pesky Rat‘ every night before bed, so I was pleased to hear that this book and others by Lauren Child were being brought to life in the form of ‘Green Drops and Moonsquirters‘, a new exhibition at Seven Stories in Newcastle.

The exhibition leads you through the books and characters created by Lauren Child and is packed with interactive things for children to do. It got a thumbs up from my little girl and I’d recommend that you visit Seven Stories to see the exhibition before it closes at the start of September.

Grafik 150

150

Yesterday saw the launch of the book 150 at the Cobden Club in London, published by leading British design magazine Grafik. The book features 150 pieces of inspiration picked by 150 designers.

I was really pleased to be one of those asked to contribute to the book, an invitation made that much sweeter by the large number of my personal design heroes who have also contributed to 150 (Angus Hyland, Daniel Eatock, Experimental Jetset, Jeremy Tankard, Mark Farrow, Michael C Place, Michael Johnson, Milton Glaser, Neville Brody, Paul Smith, Stefan Sagmeister, Vince Frost and Wim Crouwel).

For my own contribution I chose the Brighton Royal Pavilion, an incredibly inspirational building which we are currently rebranding.
