Our new Auckland Studio

The truck has left and it's almost time. Things are getting really exciting now.

The signage isn't quite going to look like this, but with a bit of design detail you can get the picture of were we will be based at 9a Birkenhead Ave, phone 09 480 990.

It's right opposite the new Birkenhead library which will be a very handy reference source.

The big official first day is next Monday  27 June.

So please, if you are in the area, do drop in and say hello. I'll be the one with the big smile on my face (that's for being so happy to be away from all the shaking.)

The view isn't quite as good as across the paddocks in the country, but it's not too bad.

Watch this space for the opening party.

Font Conference

If need a font giggle then this worth watching.

David Hartnell's Hollywood Trivia

It was great to see David Hartnell honoured with an MNZM in this Queen's Birthday Honour List 2011.

You can read the press release here. http://www.davidhartnell.com/pressrelease/pressrelease.html

It reminded me of his book that we designed for David Bateman in 2003 ... and he still doesn't look any older.

David Hartnell's Hollywood Trivia. I'm not one to gossip but...
