Aaaah, the fun of applying for a job while sipping from a glass of white wine on a terrace: one of the few advantages of working with fellow crazy folk in the graphic industry.

What a delicious party, this Hot-Couture thing at Brussels airport.

Fascinating world of brand identities

Beiersdorf‘s brand family of healthcare products Nivea made a weird turn. As far as I could tell, their crèmes were about white tenderness, health happy mums and dads shampooing giggling little David
