Well, I am super dooper excited (yes, I said super dooper!). I have my wedding invitations in my hands, having had a huge weekend in Sydney doing lots of wedding things. I don’t want to give them away, just yet (as I’ll be posting them tomorrow, and would hate for any of our guests to see them here first), but here is a sneak preview. Enjoy :)

Just letting you know that our ad in The Land’s ‘Mail Order and Internet Catalogue’ is out and printed. So if you regularly get The Land, then have a look for us. We also had a great editorial written about us, so hopefully the elki word will spread further. I’ve had two phone calls from Tasmania already!

Pantone mug

Categories





I have just bought myself my first Pantone mug, and I’m in love with it! I though it was a bit naf, a graphic designer buying one of these, but I really do love the colour (PMS 337, duck egg blue) and I thought ‘why not’. But I think the most geekiest thing I did, like any normal designer would do, was compare the colour against the Pantone colour bridge!! Oh I truely am a designer geek.

Work are considering getting the 10 pack mug set for our office, so we can be Pantone geeks together. For those keen on buying their Pantone mug, click here. If you want to find out more about Pantone, and why it is the backbone of our designer world (think 8pm press checks, arguments with printers, the ease of selecting a colour etc)!, click here.

If I could select my own colour, I would pick PMS 382 (chartruse). What colour are you?
