I've been shuffling some papers around this weekend and found this piece hiding from me. Its a slightly different style than usual but one I think I’ll be working soon.

101 Photoshop tips in 5 minutes

Don’t watch this if you don’t use Photoshop. In fact, unless you use Photoshop a whole heap then I’d suggest skipping it completely as you will not learn anything and your brain might ache. If however, like me, you use it for more hours a week than you spend reading books, hanging out with your friends or stroking puppies you might get a kick out of it, and perhaps, pick up something new.

Pecha Kucha at the Hayward

I’m getting a bit out of sequence here, but while everything is still fresh in my mind I’d like to strongly suggest that if you haven’t ever been to a Pecha Kucha event yet you must. It was fascinating stuff. As we are in the midst of London’s Festival of Architecture (with the Hayward’s Psycho Buildings programme) all the talks were architecturally themed, which I was unaware of at the beginning, but glad of mid way through. 20 seconds can be both a lifetime and a flash depending on who is time-lord, and most of the time we were in good hands. I’d love to go in more details about what happened but it will turn into a list, and I wasn’t really taking good notes: Useless Magazine’s funky handmade graphics. The wholesome idea of Edible Estates. The chaps behind the Lift Structure and it’s wonderful quitled graphics, and a pair of French hippy architects whose names I’ve already forgotten, who were sleeping in tents in a derilict area of London to understand the land before erecting their temporary structure.

Experimental Jet Set rock.

The always brilliant Experimental Jet Set closed off this years D&AD summer talks with a glimpse at some old and work-in-progress. With their adorable funky dutch accents you’d be hard pushed not to warm to this team; and there work is something else. Rather than try to summerise their presentation I’ll let you have a look for yourself.
