Update #1: Great covers

Posted on September 18, 2009

So, we're coming up to half way and everything is moving along brilliantly – thanks to everyone who has given their support.

I’m also really excited about commissioning the excellent David Pearson to do the new cover for Dictionary Story and if you haven’t checked out his work yet then I really recommend a look at his site http://www.davidpearsondesign.com

I recently talked about this project at Cambridge University and the response was great with the organisers saying they will create a blog of the event. (I will post when it gets online.)

I also gave a talk last night in London (for a great design publisher found here http://www.itsnicethat.com/). They filmed the event and we should also have that posted next week. It covers the dictionary project and also talks about why I was stupid enough to cut out every letter form Romeo & Juliet –

Again = it’s brilliant to see this way of creating work, working so well – lets hope this is a sign of things to come for the creatives everywhere !
