How many words does a picture paint? Well, a thousand words… From a typesetting point of view we’d say preferably the less words the better on the finished print or web design - we let the photography do the talking.

“Reach Out for me... I'll be there.” Akin to the Four Tops song "Reach Out" in the current environment life is indeed filled with 'much confusion', when really we just need something or someone to help us function with a semblance of normality.

Within the creative industry dogs are popular in the studio dynamic, often making it to the staff website page alongside their smiling counterparts, maybe even sporting a fetching neckerchief. We're not ashamed to admit we love dogs, they have an ability to unite people that should not be underestimated.

Step away from the leopard skin lycra, put the studded dog collar down, pop the cap back on the eye liner - fear not.

So we figured why not put the two together?, and organise hill walks for our charity clients, even if the closest some entrants have come to a mountain is a Toblerone. We’ve organised a few of these now and the feedback has been ecstatic from the walkers. Conquering Snowdon with your colleagues means that the workplace will somehow never be the same with your fellow intrepid hikers - somehow even that previously insurmountable stack of paperwork on the desk now seems a relatively easy summit to conquer.
