		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of fuss right now about the Kony 2012 campaign ran by non-profit organisation Invisible Children. In case you live under a rock and haven&#8217;t heard about it, it&#8217;s a viral campaign based around a 30 minute video that serves as a rabble-rouser in order to get people to &#8216;act&#8217;.

		<description><![CDATA[The traditional handpainted sign look has been on the up in the art world for a while now thanks to forerunners such as the late Margaret Kilgallen and Steve Powers, along with the resurgence of traditional yet progressive tattoo styles. I expect this visual style to become much more apparent in more mainstream circles over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how many times I&#8217;ve been asked &#8220;How much do you charge for a logo?&#8221;. I guess it&#8217;s an obvious starting point for someone unfamiliar and unexperienced in buying design, but it&#8217;s also a red flag warning of a possible nightmare client as it&#8217;s such a flawed question. I&#8217;ve never commissioned an architect, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Branding has come a long way since the heady heyday of the logo in the 1980&#8242;s. Back then, the logo was king. We loved logos. We wanted logos on our t-shirts and the bigger the better, stickers were fashionable and we&#8217;d happily stick our favourite brands on anything we could. Status was everything and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a lot of talk about process and research and strategy in design these days, but does the need to be business-like impede upon creativity? Could we be emulating traditional business practices and introducing levels of specialization and pseudo-science at the cost of allowing for talent and sparks of originality? The design industry has increasingly—by [...]]]></description>
