Everyday Cog

In Berlin the May Day celebrations are in full swing. Erica is out in her lunch break to take a look at the festivities.

Razvan has arrived in London. Becca and Erica are taking him around Greenwich to see some of the local attractions.

It’s our annual discussion and planning day. We’re all gathered in our Greenwich studio. Here’s Jenny, Becca and Razvan drawing out the story of a typical Cog client.

We think Razvan, Ross and Zoltan may have discussed their outfits before coming to work today.

Michael and Ross are at the private view for Collect 15, the international craft fair presented by Crafts Council. Here’s Ross in the cafe, reading through the manifesto we designed with Anthony Burrill.

Emma Parker and Isabel Cooper, from Parker Harris are here, chatting with Michael and Sam about a potential new website project. It was our first meeting so it didn’t seem appropriate to uncover the pool table.

Becca popped over to Art on the Underground. Here is Polly working on the new website that we built for them.

It’s Walk to Work Week. Michael decided to walk in from Kent. We tracked his progress online and followed him on Twitter. It took him 9 1/2 hrs so it doesn’t seem like a workable, long-term plan.

Sam has been at Sadler’s Wells to see Rambert, and also checked out the mural which was live painted at Breakin Convention a few weeks ago.

Razvan’s been to hear Simon Wheatley, WordPress.com VIP at Automattic, talk about the advantages of the open source.

Michael’s in Covent Garden for an 8:30am planning meeting in his role as board member of the National Campaign for the Arts. Around the table – David Brownlee, UK Theatre; Peter Manning, conductor (out of shot); Leo Thomson, Barbican; AL Kennedy, author; Julia Payne, The Hub; Samuel West, actor; Mark Pemberton, ABO.

Michael and Jenny are in Dagenham for a kick-off discussion with our new clients at DAGFEST. The meeting was well catered, with Kit-Kats, Clubs and Jaffa Cakes. If only all meetings were this civilised.

It’s Clerkenwell Design Week and Michael, Ross and Becca and in the area, visiting DesignStudio’s open-house. They had some fun digital toys, including a music-mixing interface that Ross was enjoying.

The conductor Peter Manning is visiting the studio for a website handover session with Becca.

It was an adrenalin-filled morning in Greenwich when a man was spotted with a rifle and police swarmed all over the station. It turned out to be a replica gun and the man appeared to be dressed as The Terminator. From our window we could see this police woman letting off steam, posing with the gun.

We are really pleased with the new Art on The Underground website. We think it looks great…and it comes in different sizes.

Michael and Jenny are at King’s College London for a chat with Laura Brown in their marketing team. Lovely to see she has some of our work pinned next to her computer.

Making a wish. It’s Laura’s birthday.

We are raising a toast to Peter Manning’s new site that launched today.
