We’ve never entered awards as a studio, but when our amazing clients win them it makes us very happy. So we wanted to shout out to @NorthUistDistil who took home quite a few Scottish Gin Awards last night, including excellence in branding - which made us smile.

What an honour (to say the least) to be featured on this list alongside some of the top names in the industry.
Plus fact that we were somehow voted onto this is really special, so thank you, whoever you are!

Glad to see @The_Lighthouse reopened to the public as part of #Sonica Glasgow Festival venue for a limited time only. The view from the higher floor is still spectacular. Could the building revive its role again as Scotland's Centre for #Design and #Architecture?

This change has made the publication larger and more comprehensive, reflecting the depth and diversity of the contributions.

True colours
In a subterranean lock-up, artist Sophie Smallhorn’s studio is flooded with colour. Her artwork explores the balance between volume and proportion – be it for a tube station or an Olympic stadium.

Two Column Report
Grid System
-
2023
ALT A multi-page layout of a two-column report design in A4 portrait format. Each page is structured with evenly spaced vertical columns, with text blocks on the right and left columns. Some sections contain placeholder text, grey boxes representing images or diagrams, and occasional pull quotes. Red text headings highlight key sections. The grid system is visible in certain areas, showing how the design aligns text and visual elements within the columns. Overall, the design emphasizes organization, clarity, and balance between text and visual content, making it ideal for formal or data-rich reports.
