The Meme-ing of Life

Meme (noun) /mi:m/ “A virtually transmitted cultural symbol or social idea”. Frankly, if you’ve been within 10 metres of a computer in the last five years, you’ll be familiar with the concept of ‘meme’. Despite the rather grandiose definition provided above, memes are realistically universally recognised as a crudely captured screengrab, with overlaid, block text: It’s pretty much impossible to spend any time online in 2017 without memes cropping up as visual references, social content, or the final word on passive aggressive arguments in niche reddit threads. So I’m told anyway. But how did memes come to dominate online communication [...]

Do you know a designer and need help deciding what gifts to get for Christmas this year? Following is a list of some of the books I would love to see under the tree (my amazon list has 50 plus more...).

Jeff Koons Exhibits in London

Jeff Koons Exhibits in London

I'm going to start by saying I am relatively new to the city of London, that is, I started working here quite recently. Being immediately hit by the enormously fast-paced nature of literally everything in the city, I adopted a 'say yes to...everything' attitude. This mind-set has seen me turn up at a designers' BBQ wedged between two closely spaced city walls, gazing across the city over a few bevvies up the Shard and having a picnic of risotto on the banks of the Thames within the first week, to name a few. As is the style with last minute plans, I was [...]

A Tale of Two Brandings – how to build brand loyalty in the social age

A Tale of Two Brandings – how to build brand loyalty in the social age

Back in the olden days, when the internet was still a madcap idea and meals came largely in cans, advertising a product was fairly straightforward (despite what Madmen may lead you to believe). With single brand names and iconic commodities like Hoover, Post-It and Jacuzzi monopolising markets, persuading consumers to choose your product was simply about any advantages it had over the existing behemoths. Unsurprisingly though, things have moved on in the world of marketing. Now in 2016, the age of Instagram stories and live tweeting, the entire manner in which companies are advertising, and who they are advertising to, has [...]

Pokemon GO: The Strangest Side Effects So Far…

Unless you have been living in a remote jungle or going through some sort of digital detox for the last few weeks, you will undoubtedly have grown accustomed to the sight of frantic looking people wandering the streets, eyes fixed on their outstretched iPhone, looking for elusive Pokemon. The recent launch of this pioneering app in the UK has caused a tidal wave of Brits to spill out of their front doors, into a brave new world of sunshine, air, and, get this, OTHER HUMANS. Not to mention a whole generation who had only just managed to suppress their residual love for [...]

New Tate Modern Opening – Guess Who Was There?

New Tate Modern Opening – Guess Who Was There?

We've long been speculating about the eagerly-awaited opening of the new Tate Modern - as one of our favourite London galleries, the news that it was getting a face-lift was met with much excitement. The project was introduced to increase the Tate's capacity, and is the world's 'first gallery space dedicated to live art, film and installations', in the form of a twisting chimney structure on top of the gallery's existing 'The Tanks' space. So, like the curious cats we are, on June 17th we sent our most artistic team member (graphic designer Gabby) to check it out. Here are [...]

‘Pics or it Didn’t Happen’: The Dominance of Visual Content

‘Pics or it Didn’t Happen’: The Dominance of Visual Content

It’s an undeniable fact that in today’s digital marketing world, visual content is king. Image-led social platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have never been so in demand, and with newer kids on the block Periscope and Boomerang following close behind, the power of a visual cannot be understated. However, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this phenomenon isn’t that new a thing. After all, the notion that ‘a picture speaks a thousand words’ has been woven into our collective conscience for hundreds of years - so why has visual content only become so unquestionably dominant in the last few? To contextualise [...]
