I have been enjoying all the Taranaki events on offer this week. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow for the public Fireworks Display on the foreshore. Check out more details on the Facebook page here. It’ll be great if this gets a lot of public support as it was largely privately funded and it would be a shame to lose it.
“Live More Awesome is a registered NZ Charity started by Jimi Hunt & Dan Drupsteen. They wanted a place to be able to inspire others to better themselves and be able to talk openly about depression and how to deal with it.” I first got interested in Live More Awesome after watching a TedXAuckland talk by Jimi Hunt on YouTube and find them extremely inspiring. You can check out their very cool and beautifully designed website here. You can certainly tell that one of the founders runs a graphic design and branding company!
Also if you’re in Auckland check out this cool event www.worldsbiggestwaterslide.com
Graphic designers can get their design inspiration and creativity from all kinds of sources, not just other graphic design work. This photo is of the new David Trubridge light in our living room. Trubridge is an iconic New Zealand furniture and lighting designer davidtrubridge.com. Although this shade wasn’t on The Block, I have wanted one for a long time and the show inspired me to change my lighting. It’s like having an artwork on the ceiling now which I love! If you can get past all the repetition and the inbuilt advertising there are some cool ideas to help make a room more beautiful and stylish.
is under new ownership and C7 Design were pleased to help them with the design of their promotional rack cards. They are having an open day on Sunday 19th October from 10am – 2pm with a bouncy castle, giveaways and tours of the upgraded facilities. Sounds like a great family activity. Also check out their new website if you need a place for visitors to stay.
People often ask me about networking events in New Plymouth, so I thought I’d give a bit of a run down on the ones I go to and find valuable for C7 Design.
Welcome to the new C7 website. It’s been a while in the making so I’m excited to finally launch it. A big thanks to the great team at Moxwai for all their hard work putting it together.
Take a look around and let me know what you think. I will endeavour to update the blog regularly so check back for updates. Feel free to let me know if you have any blog topics, if you’d like to be a guest blogger or if you have a project for C7.
We always love to hear from you so get in touch.
