Mytton Williams has designed the poster for the West of England Design Forum talk by Morag Myerscough on Wednesday 25 April at the Arnolfini, Bristol. Working beyond 2-D, Morag makes places from the spaces that people like to be in, places that stimulate and can make you smile. Morag’s talk at the Arnolfini in Bristol will be a look at projects past and present, global and local. The making of the poster reflects these 3D and environmental aspects of her work, first printed onto plywood and subsequently photographed. (For more of the process see our Facebook page).

Initial print onto Multiply Digital by Alpha Signs Systems. Posters printed by Taylor Brothers. Rives Tweed Bright White paper supplied by McNaughton. For more information go to the WEDF website.

It's the Autumn Dinner of the Holburne Museum on Thursday 4 November. We've been working with them to create all of the printed material for the event, from the invites and booking form to the menu.

It's a mighty exciting time for this museum as all is set for a glorious re-opening next year. We wish them well with the dinner and look forward to all the adventures 2011 is going to bring them.

The stupendous catalogue is at the printers in Italy (get a sneaky peak at the running sheets), the glitzy invites to the Private View are in the envelopes and all is set fair for the 2010 British Glass Biennale. It's a bit of a dream job working on this biennial project. The exhibits are always so intriguing and exciting that creative ideas flow like a proverbial river. The exhibition is running from 27 August to 11 September in Stourbridge, West Midlands
