The Young Pretenders

Just received our invites to the University of Cumbria's annual end of year exhibitions and we'll be heading through to Carlisle on Friday evening. Looking forward to featuring some fresh talent on here!

In the meantime, me and Nicole are both working hard at some new projects - one a fantastic local branding opportunity and the other a chance to do something out of our comfort zones for some friends - hopefully we'll have them ready to share in the next week or two

Cheers

Influences....

Keep an eye on our 'Friends and Inspirations' list to the right. It keeps track of friends of ours, clients, blogs, fellow designers whose ideas make us smile.

We like to be able to cast a critical eye other design work, it can help influence us, inform us of current trends and styles and helps us to examine how we think about the work we produce ourselves. That's not to say we see blogs and the like as style journals! More like sources of inspiration, that help to educate us and develop us as designers.

Anyway, the point of this particular post was to feature the blog Swiss Legacy . At Bright Eyed Design, we're suckers for clean, considered typography.

Cheers
