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’re amazed and honoured to have been voted by peers to be one of 25 studios on this list. Thanks to everyone who voted.
And to the brilliant @creativeboom

What an honour (to say the least) to be featured on this list alongside some of the top names in the industry.
Plus fact that we were somehow voted onto this is really special, so thank you, whoever you are!
Just in... and causing debate. 👀 Hotlist 2025: the 25 most popular design studios, as voted for by their peers buff.ly/48pkb2c

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.
Kept running out of space on my Mac and turns out it was mainly down to After Effects. One single cache folder was 271GB 🤯
If you have the same thing just go to ‘Edit > Purge > All memory and disk cache’ from within AE

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.
