Grand Designs Live

Another very hectic day traveling the length and breadth of London in 12 hours, trying to pack in various meetings at opposite ends of the city. I survived though and was perfectly punctual, as always.

I stopped off at ExCel to meet with Rita Parniczky and Belgin Bozsahin (two of the featured artists from my book 10 for 2010) to lend a helping hand and discuss ways to promote my book at the Grand Designs Live Exhibition. 

Grand Designs is huge - and I don't mean just in the sense that the exhibition space is massive ( I got severely lost trying to find the toilets) but in terms of its reputation as being THE trade show to be seen at. Voted as Consumer Show Of The Year, GDL is a mixture of cutting-edge design, interactivity and general eco-friendliness.

Rita and Belgin are both very excited to be displaying their work at such a high profile event and I myself am waiting with anticipation to see how the public reacts to 10 for 2010!

I've been interviewed for Amelia's Magazine!

Here are a few choice quotes from my interview for Amelia's Magazine:

"Oh god yes! I love it!"

"You're not a Clover man?"

"With the current economic climate, starting up a publishing venture might not be considered sensible"

Here's a sneak preview of the front cover of my premier title from my very own independent publishing house Bread & Butter Publishing.

The book has been proofed, the PDF's have been sent and now I just have to wait for the first printed copy to come through the post (hopefully there won't be anything wrong with it!)

Starting up...

So it's been an arduous task, but I think I have the logo ready for my publishing venture - Bread & Butter Publishing. Developing Visual Corporate Identities has never been my forte, but I think it's classic and elegant enough for the kind of profile I wish to build for my company.

I've completed the manifesto, T's and C's and now just need to complete a cash flow chart and get my business plan printed out.
Next steps are setting up the website - which I can't do until PayPay authorises my account and then things will really start moving.
