I’m an art director/graphic designer from Edinburgh. I”ve started this blog to keep a personal record of anything which inspires me.

Notsonippy's Weblog 
I am part of a team (Fwis + Ministry of Imagery) that has just launched a new magazine for designers/creatives. I know, I know…who needs another design magazine? But we think we have covered a necessary niche that has gone on neglected. We are calling it Design Business Review, as simple and straightforward as that. Here is the brief synopsis:
“DBR is simple, pragmatic advice on the business of creativity. Our readers will gain a strategic advantage in their profession by learning how to get a job, win clients, and survive the recession.”
We are getting the word out. We have some amazing contributions from Michael Bierut, Joe Duffy of Duffy+Partners, Craig Duffny of BBDO, and some tips and interviews from several others, including Mucca and Dress Code. You can see a large image of the cover at the link below.
Go to the site and poke around. The idea was to get this much needed information out there at a time when it can really make a difference.
Thanks for consideration!

You’ve blogged on my book How to Drink and I wanted to let you know that it was designed – brilliantly – by Sarah Carr who created all the illustrations, from citrus slices to entire coffee machines, from typography. You can’t imagine how pleased I was when I first saw what she’d done.
Thank you. It’s an absolutely beautiful book, the illustrations are very inspiring. I’m taking my copy with me to read on holiday in Cornwall next week.
