I’ve had the concept for this poster in-mind for many months now. It’s based on the premise that it doesn’t matter what order the letters of a word are in—just as long as the first and last letters are in the correct place (according to researchers at Cambridge University).

For example, try reading this:

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Cool huh? I thought so too. My thinking is that the sentence on the poster design should read “You Can Read Better Than I Can Design Posters“. I hope no explanation is necessary regarding to humorous nature of the design (?) The image below shows some detail from the poster, with a slightly-patterned background effect.

I recently wrote an article about the unique media designed by 5inch. Yesterday, I was clearing up some paperwork in my office, and found this CD artwork I designed for a local band a few years ago. [...] Continue Reading…

Apologies if you have visited my site over the past couple of days and have clicked on links that took you to spam-sites. My site is hosted over at Media Temple, where there has been a system-wide incident.

Basically, malicious code was injected into the WordPress blogs from a certain section of their servers.

The solution isn’t easy if you’re not competent with using phpmyAdmin (like myself) but follow the instructions and contact support if you get stuck. To be fair, the support over at (mt) were pretty good. [...] Continue Reading…

I was amazed last week to hear that I had a won a years free subscription to Design Week. I took part in a competition over at Graphic Design Forums, with the top prize been Adobe CS5 premium (all the winners are listed here). Since I only own the CS5 standard version, it would have made a great prize. However, I’m content with the prize I won. All I had to do to enter the competition was to tweet my entry.

When we were in the midst of the credit crunch, did you hear words like “sub-prime”, “CDO” and “Hedge Fund”, but had little idea about how they were all connected and how this credit crunch derived? Well, I was a little confused myself, but recently I came across this great 2-part infographic by Good.is.

I produce a fair amount of large-format prints as part of my business. Lately, I had some “spare printing space” when printing some designs for a British company.

So, I had 7 signs printed that read “The Person Looking in this Mirror is Responsible for their Health & Safety”.

This sign reads: The Person Looking in this Mirror is Responsible for their Health & Safety.

This sign is unique with only a few produced. The sign has been professionally designed this year with a stunning design not found anywhere else online!
