Mick’s stories about his recent 3 weeks working as photo assistant to his riding buddy Mike Powell are told to Peonies’ Pam Williams in this Fridays Felt & Wire Design Destination. Plus some nice photos too, even if we say so ourselves!
A Published Author!
My book is out! “Recycling & Redesigning Logos” by Michael Hodgson is now available in our shop (signed copies) and at your local book shop (if they don’t have it ask them to order it) Of course there are a couple of things we’d like to fix, but it looks great, and it’s a great read. Thanks to all the designers who sent in work, and thanks to Matt Porter for helping with the words.
Take Note
Maybe it’s partly having grown up in England plus the fact that Harpers & Queen magazine, my first job out of college, was actually set on a linotype machine, (usually in 9 on 10 pt Modern No 7) that lead (sorry couldn’t avoid that one!) to my love of letterpress. Since we opened our doors in 1988, our business cards have always been printed by Pat Reagh (see previous post). So when the lovely ladies at Mohawk said would you like to be a part of the Feedback Loop, we were right there!
Rapha/Driving Pave
As you may know I’m passionate about cycling, so when the opportunity to go and work as a “super domestique”, driving and assisting my good friend and widely recognised sports photographer Mike Powell on this years Tour De France I jumped at it. Mike is shooting it for a forthcoming book on the tour to be published by PQ Blackwell. It was a great three weeks both exhilarating and exhausting. We missed the first weekend, the first stage we joined it was on the famed “pavé” in the forest of Arenburg.
A PIIQ at the future.
We’re so lucky to have our friends at Sony Design literally across the street from Ph.D. A quick walk and we’re there for meetings. And we get to work on great projects with them, like this PIIQ logo. We must have designed over 100 different logo ideas for this Sony product launch of a new line of headphones from the “exhale” ear buds to the complete over the ear “Marquii”, but we think we came out with a winner. Let us know how they sound if you get a pair.
