I’m not a hoarder, I travel light as best as I can, when I can. But for those of you who are guilty of hoarding and don’t know what to with all that ‘stuff’ – then take a look at these images. They’re a great example of what to do with all the crap you may have hoarded over the years… Just pile it up!
We’ve had a chat and now we are all in agreement that currently the best Techno DJ’s are female. Not sure why, but it’s a fact…

When you think of Sheffield, what first springs to mind?
Richard Hawley? Arctic Monkeys? Pulp?
How about that bloomin’ great building that overlooks the city? When you enter Sheffield via the Parkway, one of the first things to greet you is Park Hill. Whether you arrive by bus, tram, car or train, it’s right there, towering over you. Continue reading ““Park Hill is yuppieville?”” »

Now don’t get me wrong – I appreciate it as an art form, but at times its saturation across all media is over bearing and you tend to just look at it in a blurry ‘whatever…’ way rather than actually ‘seeing it’ and taking the time to appreciate it. Which for me are two completely different states of mind.
Ditching printed for online publications is prevalent in today’s digital world, social media is now the favoured route of communication, content is fresh and can be posted at anytime, commented on and discussed instantly. Due to digital being a more effective form of communication, agencies made the shift from print to digital some time ago. Although we love digital here at D4 (it’s what we do!), it’s interesting to see the people at design assembly have turned this on its head, and done the opposite. After 3 years, the much revered design blog has been taken offline and has swapped it’s posts for pages.
