Book Covers In Waterstones

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter here in London. The temperature is steadily dropping (as I write this I’m covered in cardigans and scarves) and the weather’s getting rainier.

Studio Research: Office
Office is a design studio in San Fransisco that specialises in brand experiences.

What Does Office Set Out To Do? Office has a wonderfully clear mission statement on their website. Even better, its in list form. Office’s list of beliefs states that they set out to create exceptional and unique designs (mediocrity is their nemesis) that make people feel something. I really love how to-the-point this is - it demonstrates efficiency and a frankness that I would definitely want in an employer.

• Witty Breakfast Club Chalkboards by theaboarddude.
• Art by Whitcross Market, where I treat myself to lunch on fridays.
• Piccadilly Circus underground station, on the way to see Great Britain at The Royal Haymarket Theatre.
