Open for Business
February 02, 2010
Well, I said it was coming, and right in time for Valentines Day here it is. Handmadebymachine.net is the new store from myself, Adam Ding and a number of other contributers – notably Ry Coleman who built the damn thing.
We intend to sell or sorts of graphic ephemera; from cards, to posters, to tees and screen prints. The first product in the store is from myself and Adam; a series of typographic greeting cards for the type lover in your life. Perfect for Valentines Day or at any time of the year.
Coming Soon
January 27, 2010
Since the halcyon days of university myself and Adam Ding have remained close friends. We worked together on university projects, won awards together, and there's a general outline to work together in the future. Now we've finally got round to printing our very first commercial project together. It'll be available to buy online and in select retailers soon and should bring a smile to the type lover in your life. Stay tuned for more info.
Distraction Tactics

There you are, trying hard to get your head into a brief and not be distracted by the shiny new proofs that have just arrived in the studio, when suddenly the shoreditch skyline goes and pulls this on you:
Just how are you supposed to work when even nature is against you?! It's a tough job sometimes.
Coming Along
January 18, 2010
Three days in and the site seems to be coming along a bit. I've just blundered my way through coding a border above and below the project titles and positioning various elements with relative tags and such.
Fingers crossed I haven't really broken anything but it all seems ok so far (in safari at any rate).
Relaunch
January 15, 2010
Uh-oh. Things just got interesting.
Today I switched my domain over to cargo and started work on tweaking the design in this place. Hopefully I've now found a new home for my blog – usually host to my infrequent updates on my life, thoughts on design, and occasionally some (apparently) useful advice.
Bear with me if things get weird, it probably means I've broken the css.
Over and out.
