foundry.abbrprojects.com/ — Wait a minute, why nobody told me about Abbr Foundry and their very well done typefaces? Saved into my "bests for next project" folder.

We’ve never entered awards as a studio, but when our amazing clients win them it makes us very happy. So we wanted to shout out to @NorthUistDistil who took home quite a few Scottish Gin Awards last night, including excellence in branding - which made us smile.

We'll be kicking off '25 with a celebration of creativity as the congregation assembles at St. Luke's in Glasgow for an evening of creative confessions, hopes & prayers for a positive year ahead. Details & tix coming soon. Praise be.

Glad to see @The_Lighthouse reopened to the public as part of #Sonica Glasgow Festival venue for a limited time only. The view from the higher floor is still spectacular. Could the building revive its role again as Scotland's Centre for #Design and #Architecture?

I’m excited to announce the release of the 8th Edition of Visuelle, this year we dedicate a full spread to each project, allowing for a more focused and expansive presentation of the work. This change has made the publication larger and more comprehensive, reflecting the depth and diversity of the contributions.

True colours
In a subterranean lock-up, artist Sophie Smallhorn’s studio is flooded with colour. Her artwork explores the balance between volume and proportion – be it for a tube station or an Olympic stadium.

Two Column Report
Grid System
-
2023
ALT A multi-page layout of a two-column report design in A4 portrait format. Each page is structured with evenly spaced vertical columns, with text blocks on the right and left columns. Some sections contain placeholder text, grey boxes representing images or diagrams, and occasional pull quotes. Red text headings highlight key sections. The grid system is visible in certain areas, showing how the design aligns text and visual elements within the columns. Overall, the design emphasizes organization, clarity, and balance between text and visual content, making it ideal for formal or data-rich reports.

The stated Scot Gov funding shortfall for Creative Scotland's Open Fund (closing end of Aug) is £3m
That's 0.005% of the SG budget. Five ONE-THOUSANDTHS of One Percent.
Closing the Open Fund will devastate artists and *instantly* increase inequality in the arts.
Sort it out.

Three weeks today until we welcome @gradiate from @studiokoto to Glasgow for an evening of creative chat at Gab alongside Laura from @needthinking_ @BrodaDemi01 and our host Eilidh Mackay. Looking forward to this one a lot.
