A Blast From The Past

2007-06-28T10:40:00.000Z

Well it's been a while since I last posted, and it's been a bit hectic.
I've been kept busy with work and busy with pleasure; managing to get out of the country and visit the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. I was really impressed with the Art Nouveau section and other galleries on the second floor. It was great to see a bit of classic type there in the form of Hector Guimard's Metro sign (see pic).

I also had a shock viewing (and trying not to watch too much this time) Big Brother 8. A familiar face walked through the door in the form of Ziggy / Zac. He used to be in the boy band Northern Line, and in my dark and distant past I designed some of their sleeves and ads. In fact I should own up to being responsible for their logo. (I've actually got a typeface based on it kicking around somewhere, maybe I'll dig it up.)

I've just finished working on a web-site for the artist Amy Lyddall and thought I'd pass on the details. Have a look some of Amy's beautiful work and check out her forthcoming exhibition!

Change the World

Well Christmas has come and gone (I had a lovely one thanks for asking, good food, good company, good times).
One of the many delightful things I received was a book called; Change the World 9 to 5. A great book by the good people at www.wearewhatwedo.org.
Have a look and do something good this year.
Go on check it out and try it, you might like it.
Well done (and that's me sorted for Action #059 - Praise People).

The 'One Cup, Two Sugars' Rule

2006-12-08T11:20:00.000Z

I had to write an email the other day and used the word 'necessary', which reminded me of the rule to spell it correctly. 'One Cup, Two Sugars'. I was told about this very handy mnemonic by one of the kids learning programmes they have on BBC2 early on in the morning.
Spread the word: One Cup, Two Sugars. neCeSSary. (Lovely drop of splosh, thanks treacle).

LOTR

Lord of the Rings - the Return of the King was on television last night and I was absolutely enthralled by it. I'd seen it before, of course, but I forgot how visually stunning it is. The costumes, buildings and details of every aspect of Middle Earth seems so well considered and so beautiful. Inspiring stuff.

Here we go...

This is the section of Rogue Four Design where the odds and ends, bits and bobs, scribbles and doodles, fun and games (you get the idea) go.

It's a little different from the rest of the site, a bit more relaxed, a little bit more personal and hopefully it will give you a better understanding of what makes Rogue Four Design tick.
