  • A subtle message
    Had a customer in today to get some t-shirts printed with a great idea, a QR code on them. Now i can't repeat what they said but it was giving a definite message to the scanners. Which i just loved. So am determined to see if we can get more folks using them for prints in creative ways on our gifts.

    As further inspiration here's what Yoav Medan in Israel done with a QR code - tombstone memorial - check the article on mashable

  • The fonts the key
    Having a company logo can really boost the appearance of your business, it can make your business card something a lot more memorable, can be an eye catching advert on your facebook page or on the side of your vehicle. Getting a graphic designer to produce you a professional and original logo is well worth it and can cost from about £140 so isn't a bank breaking investment but if you are watching your funds when you start up give yourself a graphic boost by jumping onto a free font website and picking a font that doesn't come as part of the...

    What will you be getting your father for father's day? Over the years i've taken full advantage of customising gifts for my dad, rugby shirts with an embroidered fishing fly lure and his name, a framed mirror printed with a picture of the submarine he used to work on and it's crest, a mug with a fishing poem and a pint of beer printed on it, another rugby top with a mad sketch he used to doodle for us as kids embroidered on...
