It’s now early Saturday morning and I have an exciting day ahead of me. I have just completed applying the stencils to the letters and spraying is next. Then at 10am we are going to LCC, Elephant and Castle, and going to paste our posters onto the shipping containers. According to the radio the weather is going to be beautiful today and so it will be great to be working outside. So excited to see the results.

We got to the Design Museum ‘Font night’ in good time, it was absolutely buzzing Bruno Maag was holding type workshops in the cafe area, everybody was eagerly cutting, pasting, drawing type and having a few drinks. As usual I was super nervous worried about boring people on their Friday social evening, also I was first on which filled me with fear. I had a 20min slot and had obviously prepared a font specific talk. 7.30 and I started it seemed to go quite fast and so hopefully it did for the audience. I did like preparing for this talk as it made me think about why and how I choose and use certain fonts. When I finished, I immediately thought of the things I didn’t say but hopefully I enthused people about how AMAZING, EXPRESSIVE and BEAUTIFUL letter forms are.
Next overtime is the Summer Party, Friday 1 July, 6-10pm, they are always great evenings packed with loads of things to do and see and really worth booking some tickets for. Luke and I are going to be doing something.

Nearly all my Nokia PURE stools have sold, I am so pleased as all the money is going to the The British Dyslexia Association.
If you fancy one they can be purchased from the Design Studio — £150 each. I have to confess I bought two myself ‘LOVE’ for my mum and ‘GOLD’ for me I really wanted ‘LADY & ‘LUCK’ but they had gone!
