Showing my age
I’ve been a bit quiet recently because I’ve been carrying out some consultancy work with some lovely designers at a very big corporation. So when the very experienced designer I was working with said ‘so what is paste-up?’ I knew that my children were right – I am quite definitely over the hill, a relic, a complete and utter dinosaur. For any of you who don't know about how you put together a brochure or magazine before computers, the Fullerton website gives some idea of the torturous process us older designers went through. And I never had the luxury of a waxing machine, it was spreading all the galleys and artwork with cow gum and sticking them into place.

Historic Macon website live!
Over the summer I had a rather delicious illustration job to do, which was to create a number of spot watercolour illustrations of the lovely old city of Macon, Georgia. I also painted a location map of the historic centre, which served as a linking device to the various parts of the website. I haven’t been able to mention it until now as I was waiting for the website to be completed. If you’re interested do visit the site at http://www.livinghistorymap.com/ . If I have time I’ll post some of the illustrations at a larger size here in the next few weeks
