I have the great privilege of counting some very talented people as friends. One such friend has recently launched a "Fashion Blogazine" entitled Set Your Style. If you're into fashion, art or simply looking for inspiration, I would highly recommend bookmarking or adding this site to your RSS feed... it's only going to get better!

The mighty DixonBaxi will be giving a talk at the London College of Communication next week as part of the Talking Graphics Open Lecture series. They'll be talking about 'The DixonBaxi Way' – if you've not heard Simon and Aporva speak before, I would HIGHLY recommend heading over to LCC next Thursday. They're sure to leave you extremely inspired!

Tickets are £5 (£3 for UAL students and staff with valid ID cards) cash only on the door – tickets include a beer after the lecture (bonus!).

Reserve your place by emailing graphics@lcc.arts.ac.uk

At 6pm GMT this evening the website for the first ever simultaneous online and cinema premiere of a film launches. This is a world first and a significant event for both the web community and cinema. The film is called <a href='http://www.thisisnotalovesong.com/' >This Is Not A Love Song</a>, written by Simon Beaufoy of The Full Monty fame and directed by Bille Eitringham.

Website designed by my good friends at <a href='http://www.frankiandjonny.com' >Franki&Jonny</a>.

My only criticism is that the film will only be viewable on Windows PC's. What is the deal with that?
