Slaughtering the Amazon – Update
| August 6th, 2009
The report we designed for our friends at Greenpeace is proving a real success. Today they announced the following.
“After working with us (Greenpeace) over the past few weeks, Clarks have today announced that they will ensure the suppliers that provide the leather for their shoes from stop sourcing it from deforested areas of the Amazon. This is a really positive move – they’re not only rejecting leather from illegally logged areas of the region, but from any cattle ranch that is being run on deforested land.
This means there’s a unified front from the shoe companies we challenged over Amazon leather in their supply chains. All have now committed to avoiding leather that is implicated in Amazon destruction. Clarks join Adidas, Nike, Timberland and Geox, who have all made similar commitments over the past few weeks.”
Well done Clarks! And all the other shoe companies too.

Swimming with Punks
| August 5th, 2009
For a couple of months in early 2009 I worked with Punk Publishing, the people who create the Cool Camping books. Together we created Wild Swimming Coast.
It’s a wonderful guide to the best and often very well hidden beaches, pools and caves of Britain’s coastline. Featuring regional background and detailed maps, directions to the swims and hundreds of great photos – many by Daniel Start – the author.
Helping define the sequence of the book, designing the layout of all 256 pages as well as editing photos meant that this was an engrossing project. This was also the first book I’ve designed for retail so I’m very happy it’s been well received with the title currently being reprinted and having received reviews such as this on the Waterstones site, “this beautifully produced book is sure to inspire you to discover and enjoy all that’s great about our British coast”. I’m off to cool my ego down in the sea.
Buy the book, find out more about wild swimming or check out Punk Publishing’s other titles.
