Big congratulations to our designer Simone and partner Steve, who got engaged on Friday. Steve popped the question while on bended knee in the grounds of Chatsworth house in Derbyshire, how romantic! Congratulations both of you and all the best with the wedding plans.
Leon Summers, our Studio Manager and Senior Designer, put on his running shoes at the weekend and ran the Derby 10k for charity.
Despite having never run 6 miles in his life, Leon did us all proud by running the 10k in an impressive 47 minutes and 47 seconds. In doing so he’s helped raise a huge £595 for The Eve Appeal. Nice one Leon!

Believe it or not it’s been an amazing 20 years since Photoshop was first launched by John Knoll, Thomas Knoll, Russell Brown and Steve Guttman. To celebrate the landmark anniversary Adobe gathered together the original developers to discuss the creation and impact of the software, which has become an everyday tool for many designers. You can find out more on the Creative Review website.
Photoshop has certainly evolved over the years...
How many of these versions can you remember?
The in-house design team at South African airline ‘Kulula’ has come up with a unique and informative way to rebrand their aircrafts. Not only does the refreshing colour catch your eye, but you also get to learn what everything is called and even where the loo is without setting foot on board!

Well we certainly had a good old fashioned knees up at our belated Christmas party on Friday! It was a great night at the Hand and Heart pub with its unusual setting inside Nottingham’s caves.
The night just flew by and we’re sure most people would have been a little worse for wear on Saturday… A good time was had by all – see for yourself below!
We’re chuffed to bits to win a pitch to work with the University of Greenwich on their new media player videos. It’s all under wraps at the moment, so we can’t say too much, but we’ll tell you more once the films go live.
We’ve just started work on a new internal comms project with BT. We can’t say too much about it at the moment but we’re very excited! The project should be live around April so we’ll tell you more then… Watch this space!
We’re all lovers of the Apple Mac here at Michon, but it’s fascinating to see just how much the Apple mouse has evolved over the last 25 years. From the bulky, blocky, beige Macintosh mouse that first appeared in 1984 to the new all singing and dancing multi-touch wireless Magic Mouse. We just wonder what Apple will come up with next. Raneko’s photographs, below, show the evolution brilliantly.
