- Stamps for Royal Mail - Prospectus for MMU - Lots of sitting with nothing to do - Safe design - corporate.
Summary Although I got involved with interesting briefs the work environment was too corporate, the designers that worked there at the time (and have since quit) were unenthusiastic and bored of design. Radio stations that play about 10 songs on a loop for 9 hours a day.

Stay Enthusiastic Nobody likes a misery guts. Wether something is boring or not is all a matter of perspective. Apart from bills, they’re chuffing boring, and banking, reading T&C’s, and hanging washing out, chuff that stuff.

Beg, borrow, steal Trying to create something compeltely original reults in a product that is unrelated to it’s purpose. Combining bits that work and excluding bits that don’t

Sheet Happens Get through a load of sheets before trying to replicate on screen. Your first idea isn’t always the best. But sometimes it is.
