J'adore Polyvore

• Fashion

Now I probably am way behind the times here, but I have just discovered Polyvore. I think this could become a bit of an addiction! I had heard of it before (I don't live under a rock!) but as I am a designer and use Photoshop to put together graphics for this blog I didn't really see the point, thinking it was for people that didn't have Photoshop, but I really see the point now!

Its really easy to use and much quicker to create looks than Photoshop as you don't have to edit the images and locate them from the relevant sites, all the different brands are on hand to just drag and drop

The Chosen One

THE ONE

Bounce, Bounce!

• Nightlife

When flying back from my ski holiday a few weeks back I spotted a logo I designed in the EasyJet in-flight magazine that another passenger was reading. Intrigued, I delved into my copy (I never read these, I always have a supply of Grazia/Glamour/Instyle with me!). Incidentally the logo was for an awards event I did the branding for and on a clients advert showcasing their win. I was quite chuffed that my design was in another magazine, weird to see something you made out there! So I flicked though the rest of the magazine anyway and that is where I read about Bounce in a London nightlife section. 



THE VENUE
Bounce, a venue that claims to be the home of Ping Pong, is located near Chancery Lane and is
