Big Ticket Presentation Design Agency Quote Cards

I've long blogged on Duarte's output. Accompanying an Oct '21 book launch, their media kit included the selection above. Ten tweetable 'quote cards'. My main thrust is to highlight their design. Yet before that, I can't help but note their content.

Hybrid Hub Redesign

During the final quarter of '22, there's an increase in reports of how companies are evolving how they work. Earlier in the year, focus was on grabbing the hybrid dividend to the bottom-line. Namely offloading swathes of expensive office space expected to become, if not already seen

Autocratic Sportswashing Reclamation

6,500 migrant workers reportedly died building the Qatar stadiums hosting the latest football World Cup. Then there's the harshest of police state jackboot should you be openly, you know, non-heterosexual, a democrat, or even a woman. And how can anyone truly trust any country which outlaws the

Hardcore Defined

O-oh. Our Bru Elon. His mid-November midnight missive to Twitter staffers featured this widely reported nugget; "Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional

ID Unsustainable Situations

Job Cull via Video Call

American newshounds NBC see their exclusive Facebook bonfire footage plastered across feeds this week. Above, its screenshot of Mark Zuckerberg. Announcing that because of his over-ambition, 11,000 of his staff are now to be fired. One in eight of his entire workforce. Wonder if he ever saw 2009 Oscar-nominated

Your Selling Name

More an internal moment of levity, this. Yet I couldn't let the continued terrorism of infrastructure disrupting, precious artwork soup smothering, and road blocking of a hysterically unhinged self-appointed elite go by. They've long since stopped being 'activists'. Now they are a deranged, criminal

Wall of Wine Penetration Possibility

London wine journalist Victoria Moore sums up wine aisle angst well when shopping; "The phrase “wall of wine” was coined long ago to describe the impenetrable feel of a display of bottles in a shop. Because where do you start? Without pulling the cork or unscrewing the cap, it’

Highway To Hell

No, not the AC/DC hard rock classic. And that from a once obsessed New Romantic synthpopper. Blogging a couple days back on the big climate talking shop in Egypt this week, I couldn't help but also reference the opening address of the UN General Secretary. Here'
