With the new IOS5 and iPhone launch a little reminder of the existing IOS Grid Apps that we designed earlier in the year. These are still free to download and when saved as your home screen background keep your apps all organised in a nice clean grid. Available in a variety of colours. 

We are currently looking for photos of the @effektive grid background on screen / in hand (not screengrabs) for a location project. Show where you live/work and use your app background, only the best images will be featured.

Nick Greenwood over at Creative Lynx got in tell us about some lovely new identity/brand work they have recently completed for new fine dining restaurant Australasia based in Manchester. Lovely materials and nice details create a lovely suite of print, packaging and signage materials. Particularly like the typographic wine types.
