See the Optical Illusion Mug Collection at this link.It’s great having kids!I’m often reminded of the things I took so much joy in looking at when I was younger, normally when they come across something they have never seen and think it's something new.The other day, one of the kids came running downstairs and asked me to look at a picture that see..

There's something about 'Ambigrams' that fascinates me since finding out about them many years ago, something as simple as a word that can be read one way, but show another story altogether when flipped over (or mirrored).WHAT'S AN AMBIGRAM?The definition of 'Ambigram' is:A design that may be read as the same word, name or phrase (sometimes two dif..

We have created a few ‘8th Day’ designs in the past, in fact, one of the first designs we created many years ago was one of these designs ...................... we wanted to create another.With this ‘8th Day’ design we wanted to play more on the ‘Typography’ (style and appearance of printed things), of the design rather than the graphics – we hop..

Our most ambitious project yet!Many months ago, it was suggested that having a 'range' of designs that were both colourful, Regimental and unique would be great for people that wanted to support their Regiment but in a more modern way.This idea led to the creation of 'Guards Wear'.The idea was simple, but very challenging so it was something that w..
