My Business Cards: 6 years going on strong

Multi-embossed and in 2 colours (special metallic) and die-cut. It bears only my web address and nothing else. Served the purpose well in the past and hopefully more so in the future.

Story covers

I’ve always been passionate about creating first glimpses to stories that I (or others) have written. A picture truly tells a thousand words and as an introduction to the story in question, it sets the mood and stirs curiosity.

Blast from the past

Big smile when I got this. For those of you who don’t have a clue who David Shanks is: David was the Creative Director I worked with on my first job at Pounds Shanks Jordan Advertising and whose ‘never say die (even if you’re careening off a speeding taxi)’ manifesto I have carried with me all through the past 15 years in the creative industry. As a newbie then, no one could have asked for a better mentor as a “creative troublemaker”: “I’ll only fire you the day you stop giving me ideas and not anything else,” I recall him telling us. Today he still pushes the creative envelope with his agency Clear in the UK and he continues to inspire me and his legion of fans from Asia to America with his humour and ideas.
