Derren Brown - I dont trust him!!

Even though we are going to see him next year at the Alex Theatre

in Brum. I don't trust Derren Brown. He couldnt glue me to the sofa

(although a bottle of rose & 4 stellas did!) but he did manage to make

me draw 'concentric circles' on friday night! Im sure it was the close

up of the ladies eyes with the circular reflection in them that did it!

Heres mine and Lisa's scribbles from friday (As you can see i had to write

under mine what is was, cus im rubbish at drawing!)

Our new cards

We have had our cards for a couple of weeks now but this is the

first chance ive had to blog about them!! We decided to go with

a 55mm square shape, printed onto 350gsm, printed in a spot red

with a spot uv, creating a layered typographic effect - we love em!!

How difficult is it though to design for yourself?

Blog on...

So here we are, blogging!!!

Who would have thought?

I always thought a blog was a bit self obssessed,

and a bit 'hey look at us arent we great!'

but - hey look at us arent we great?!

As this is my first post i'll introduce us, we are Kancho Creative.

Howard & Lisa, graphic & interior designers respectively,

also in the studio are Charlie (cat) and Mia (also a cat).

You can see our portfolio at www.kancho.co.uk and find out more about us.

Our blog will consist (hopefully) of the usual blog guff, stuff we like, stuff we dont,

things we have done, places we have been & things we have seen!!

I always wondered, 'who reads blogs, especially design agency blogs?'

And i guess it's me, or people like me, who are interested in what other

designers do on the daily grind & away from the office. I have a load of

local & international agency blogs bookmarked and check to see what

they are up to on a weekly basis, so im hoping other people like me

will be nosey and see what we are up to! and ill try to keep the blog

current with whats new in the world of kancho.
