@studioandwalsh Choosing a typeface can be about beauty and looking good, but it can also be a great way to evoke feeling or emotion or personality into your work. If you're choosing a simple typeface like Helvetica that lacks personality, I recommend having other elements of the brand that bring

As part of my ongoing efforts to get you to buy a ticket for Interesting I've recorded another chat with a former speaker - the magnificent Ella Fitzsimmons. You will enjoy this, Ella is such an original thinker and engaging talker.

It was a grey day, but some tunes, and the sound of the city moved the clouds along.

(via Robin Sloan) this is interesting and positive. I wonder if this is a way to do the Account Planning School of the Web at some point.

Presentation Club 3 was fantastic. Only one presentation but it was brilliant and interesting and we all learned a bunch from it. And it wasn't a middle-aged white man, so that's good too. Presentation Club 4 is on 4th of February. I'd originally planned for it to be in real

For several years now I've been making these little podcast episodes, all about 4 minutes long. They're compilations of little bits of audio I've come across. Radio, podcasts, the like. I think it's my favourite thing I've done on the internet. They always make me smile when I come across

I know we're supposed to be suspicious of this kind of productiving preaching but I have to admit, I find it useful. It's not a solution, it's a help, a framework, a reminder that you're up to something. And I appreciate that Pink does his homework and values brevity and

I had a lot of fun doing mixes over the Christmas period. One cold, clear morning I made this very slow, very ambient mix. And then I did something similar for the BT Tower:

It's time to start selling tickets for Interesting 2026. So, as part of a devilishly cunning content strategy I thought I'd do some interviews with former speakers. Alex was kind enough to volunteer to do the first one and I'm glad she did, I really enjoyed our conversation.

Here it officially is, the first Account Planning School of the Web of the second quarter of the 21st millennium. (Is that right?) This is deliberately constrained to respect your time and mine, so it's a wee bit artificial. But go with it. I think it'll be fun. The scenario:

I've been mucking about with TikTok for a while. I like exploring new media things. I've been using Things That Have Happened In History as inspiration for some of them. Like George Eliot's to do list and Virginia Woolf not making New Year resolutions. Today's (Jan 5th) is about a

I've been reading stratscraps for years, in one form, in one place, or another. It's so envious, it's so good. It's genius in form and content. A commonplace book, a box of mulch, a bag of ideas. I wish there were more things like this.

Why do you like this? is a new newsletter from Seb Emina. He's an amazing interviewer and writer and 'why do you like this?' is a perfect idea. It especially struck me because I've been a Bing fan/collector for years but somehow, of late, I've let that slide.

At some point in the next 72 hours or so you'll need to do some digital admin, to get yourself ready for next year. That's what I was doing when I recorded this, so maybe, in a way, we can do it together. Or you could just listen to it.

Slightly inspired by Tearoom Ambient I did a mix while checking my email. Gentle but occasionally ominous.

I will also write a proper entry, but in the meantime...

I done another mix. It starts with some Christmassy soul but then is just pleasant and dance-y, until there's an unexpected China Crisis

@crystalpvlse Most brands think premium = expensive gear. Wrong. Premium is psychology, not price tags. The real differentiators: 🎯 CLARITY → Aesop doesn’t confuse you with 50 product lines. They sell one elevated feeling. Confusion screams cheap. 🔄 CONSISTENCY → Apple didn’t reinvent their visual language every quarter for 20 years. Recognition builds

We’ve had two presentation club meetings so far. This is how it’s gone: What has worked: the basic idea I screwed up the tech for the first one, which was annoying, but I think the basic idea worked. * Someone practised a presentation. * They got useful and supportive feedback.

Thousands of years ago when we lived in Oregon I would spend many happy hours flipping through Portland's wonderful second-hand record stores. This was the late 90s when 'vinyls' wasn't a thing and you could buy everything Tangerine Dream ever recorded for less than $50. And we lived 3 minutes
