Shopping detox.

Tomorrow is 'Buy Nothing' day. A day of protest against consumerism. Activities include the obvious commitment to a spend-free 24 hours as well as things like the public cutting up of credit cards and other creative and daring protests. More at adbusters. 

Not just a good statement for a day but a good reminder to keep the spending in check before this hedonistic Christmas time...

Enough already?

I'm sure there will be plenty more soccer themed shoots that we'll see before this time next year... this one complete with bloody knee and red card is from ZooZoom. I'm okay with the themed shoots - just not the promotional messages that keep appearing in my in box. No, I don't want to put my clients logo onto a mini soccer ball key-ring...

The Chocolate Club.

I'm doing some work for this client. Rebranding and packaging ideas that I'll share once the client has approved them. It's a really elegant concept for the connoisseur - a different selection of handmade chocolates sent to you monthly. Here is how to join.

What next?
