Printwear & Promotion 2008

This weekend sees the start of the annual Printwear & Promotion Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham (Sunday 2nd to Tuesday 4th March).

Save the Light

The Light is a great bar & restaurant between Liverpool Street Station and Shoreditch in London. It is walking distance from the Indigo office and a popular watering hole for our staff. This big, old building with high ceilings, built in 1893 and a former power station is an historic landmark. It is the first … Read more

CityAM, the free London financial newspaper, that is jammed in ones face most mornings by an over-zealous, anoraked vendor at every tube and rail station in this city, has a good article about bespoke suits.

Amongst other facts for the lads, I came across this picture of Matt Helders, of Arctic Monkeys, wearing a t-shirt about CMYK colours! A similar shirt … Read more
