Everyday Cog

Michael’s exercising our right to vote at the AGM of the Design Business Association. Here’s Chief Exec Deborah Dawton, with President Jim Thompson looking on.

It’s our 24th annual, end of year visit from our lovely accountant Mark Cooper.

Jenny’s been taking amends for the next season brochure for The Marlowe Theatre. She’s all smiles, one hour in.

Sam’s in Brighton to see Shobana Jeyasingh Dance, and also spotted Crying Out Loud on the cover of the Brighton Dome brochure.

To mark the occasion of the Great British Bake Off final, both Anna and Becca have baked us cakes. Anna is a little more generous with her portions.

There’s no substitute for seeing things at full size. Here’s Anna working on a drinks list for Saffron Hall’s newly refurbished bar.

Michael’s at the London Film Festival gala showing of High-rise. Here’s the post-film post-film Q&A with director Ben Wheatley and actors Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller and Elisabeth Moss.

It’s fluoro-day, the day when Jenny gets to choose the colour for the next Studio brochure for The Marlowe.

A full three weeks earlier than last year, Ocky’s starting on the Christmas sandwiches.

It’s Cog Night and we’re out at a ghost walk in the City. Well, walk come pub crawl.

It’s been a while since we’ve worked with the printers, Tradewinds. So boss, Ron is here to oversee Ocky signing-off the proofs (for a new brochure we’ve designed for DBA).

Michael, Sam and Becca are at Camden Arts Centre’s 50th birthday party. Champagne and cupcakes all round.

Michael’s at Trade Winds in Peckham, to press-pass a brochure we’ve designed for Design Business Association.

It’s been more than a decade since we’ve worked with Red Shift Theatre. Today, their Jonathan Holloway and Emma Rees popped in to see Michael and spotted their Nosferatu poster on our wall.

Fan-tiffin-tastic. Becca’s been baking again.

It’s Becca’s last day in the studio for a while, she’s having an op on her foot.

Michael and Sam have popped into Music Learning Revolution, a fabulous one-day event organised by Musical Futures. They bumped into Zoe Coakley, reading the guide we designed, in front of the banner we designed, featuring the branding we designed.

Pie lunch. Guess which Cog team member finished first?

Sam’s employing a team of little people to put the finishing touches to the talk she’s writing for next week’s Spektrix conference.

The kick off meeting with new clients. Lindsey Dear and Céline Gaubert are here to discuss a new digital project for Akram Khan.

Wine, crisps and quizzing. Jenny, Sam, Bryony, Sæunn and Michael are at the Museum of the Order of St John for a fundraising pub quiz. They’ve been joined by special guest, Lydia.

After seven months of work, we’re almost finished working on a special book for the Dickson Poon School of Law (part of King’s College London). Kristina Mennell is here to choose the colour of the wibalin and foils.
