How many times have you been on the bendy bus in Cardiff and watched people strugle to fold down these seats? These seats are possibly the worst seat design ever, countless people try and pull the top of seat down instead of just pull the bottom part down, one day someone will rench the entire seat off the bus wall..

This bag really attracted my attention the other day. I was waiting for the bay car on St Mary Street, when I noticed this movement in the corner of my eye. I couldn't quite understand what it could be as the shop was closed and I couldn't see anything that could have made anything move. Then as I moved nearer to take a closer look. It was actually the bag label that had a hologram on it. the company is MODA and when you approach from different angles the label changes the MODA name from vertical to horizontal.
It was really effective at attracting the eye and definitely made me look at the product.

I was pleased to see our Welsh Book of the Year leaflets and stickers on the longlisted books in Waterstones the other day. Look out for the leaflets and stickers on books in all good bookshops

We (Hoffi) have been working on this for quite a while now, and I am really glad we can finally announce that we have managed to get the contract for all of the National Museum Wales' marketing collateral for 2008 and 2009.
