Glug Brighton at Brighton Museum

June 27 2011

Another Glug under our belt and what a great turn out. Set in the stunning Brighton Museum & Art Galleries surrounded by priceless antiquities we drank, talked and were inspired by fantastic speakers including Noah Harris, Neil McFarland(UsTwo) and Coralie Bickford-Smith with live art by Billie Jean, Kyle Bean and Popcorny. There were visual delights from FutureDeluxe and NoBrow set up shop, a great turn out!

Thanks to everyone involved for making it such a great night. Be sure to sign up to www.meetup.com/glugbrighton where we post all our Glug details and check out photos from the night, courtesy of Jean-Luc Brouard here.

Where the magic happens

We are all bathing in the minimalist tranquility of a re-fitted studio today. At long last our work space has had a happy face lift. New posters on the walls, a display area for Crush designed work, mood board rails and inspiration panels. So if you have anything pretty you have designed recently please send us stuff. Come on students and graduates... impress us!

Thank you NYC

Last week Carl spent a week in New York City hooking up with some of our new clients and some folks we would love to work with. As ever, the welcome was warm, the food was great and the sun was shining. See you in a few months!

This is a story about madness.

Here is a recent cover we designed for the brilliant Jon Ronson. His latest book follows the meandering path of "Them: Adventures with Extremists", as he meets and talks to what appear to be diverse and unrelated, but all fascinating, people at the fringes of society or the fringes of normal behavior. We give a nod to the talented designed Saul Bass for inspiration and look forward to branding Jon’s back catalogue.
