For those that don’t know Bread & Butter is very cool.
Based at the old Templehof airport in Berlin it a collection of many of the coolest brands in world. From Adidas to Levi’s to Lacoste they are all there.
Wrangler (gawd bless ‘em) bring around 40 models every year just to roam around and look gorgeous. Trying to work at the show can be very distracting!
This year we helped out our friends at Merc by designing their stand.
I was delighted to be invited by Business Link to give a presentation on the human mind, buyer behaviour and brand development.
I have a big thank you to the fifty or so people who made the trip to Castle Donnington on what was a rather grim morning.
The feedback I got was really positive, which was great to hear and for those that asked for a copy of the presentation here it is: Follow this link to download a copy.
I would ask that if you were one of the attendees, please could you feedback using this blog as I would really appreciate your comments. Quite alot of efforts goes into these presentations.

By gosh we are busy! We have decided that we need help and are looking to hire a new junior graphic designer (Chesterfield based).
Pros – we have enough work to keep them busy, we could get a lot more done, we could make more money, it would allow the senior team more time to improve client service and we could help develop a local young talent.
Cons – the first month or so will be time consuming, it is a cost to the business, are we truly out of recession and can we find the right person.
If you think you might be the person to join us then please send us details. Before you do, please please read this profile and only apply if appropriate.
Junior graphic designer Chesterfield.
We need you to have at least one year experience (sorry to the newly qualified but we just don’t have the time to support you from scratch), you need to be handy at photoshop and artworking, we would much prefer to take on someone part-time to start and you must be no more than 10 miles from our offices in Chesterfield.
If you can say yes to all this then please feel free to get in touch jonathan@crush-design.co.uk.
Strictly no agencies please
The news from Pimento Vision is good.
Their exhibition stand at the NEC show was a HUGE hit with the punters and the celebrities.
(*coughs* That could be the exhibition stand that we designed).
Clearly the reason behind their success was the design of the stand and website, and had nothing to do with that Augmented Reality wizardry that they were weaving.
Call us for exhibition stand design. Chesterfield is where you’ll find us, and its beautiful.
I was clueless until about a month ago.
But then we were asked to design a website for Pimento Vision. They are the leaders in providing augmented reality to the commericial world in the UK.
The best way to check out their work is to visit their exhibition stand at the Gadget Show in the NEC. Alternatively you can check out their amazing new website (that *cough* we might have designed and built for them 
).
It is early days for Augmented Reality but I think it has HUGE potential for the future.
As for website design. Chesterfield is where you will find us. Away from the hustle, bustle and bloated prices.
Seriously lacking on the posting-new-stuff-on-the-blog front but have been busy. Which is good.
April will see a bunch of work being delivered, the first of which www.emminternational.com is now live (yes I know its March).
As with all our sites, everything you see on this site is editable.
This means we can’t rip off the client everytime they want to update their own website.
