Repeat client work, this time the brief was a bit more specific. Client's original site had done it's work, but his body of work has grown to an extent now that the site needed a refresh. This time the client wanted a more obvious theme, and as their books are based around a flooded world then the theme was a no brainer. Getting the precise palette for the above sea elements was difficult and we went through a good number of iterations to get it right. It's amazing how if you make the sky too deep or add too much purple then the sea with these colours starts taking on a Disney look and feel! Definitely not what was wanted.

Today I've launched the next evolution of my non-fiction written work. For just over a year I've been writing long-form daily articles about Technology, Governance and the Human cost of the things we build at smarterarticles.co.uk (https://smarterarticles.co.uk)
Six weeks ago I launched a podcast, taking one of my published articles, and reworking it for the podcast format, with a new episode weekly.
Today I launched the accompanying website: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm)
My spec was simple:-
1. Keep it simple, and minimalistic. My articles are published on a simple site, headlines, and content, and nothing more. I wanted to keep that simplicity.
2. Clean, professional, broadsheet-style publication.
3. No admin system. The site and its content take care of itself. I publish articles on a site that has an RSS feed, and I publish a podcast that has an RSS feed, so this site consumes both and the source of truth is where the content is originally published.
4. Plain English. Clear, precise, human. Read the About page or the Privacy Policy. I'm not trying to hide behind technobabble, only clarity.
5. No Cookies. No Tracking. No Analytics. No Recommendation Engine. No Profiling. No Selling or Sharing of Personal Data, clearly stated as a deliberate decision not an oversight seeking correction.
Here are some example pages, I'd encourage you, if you so wish, to visit the site and let me know your thoughts: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm)

Hey folks,
After Cabana, I built something different.
Cabana was about helping designers work faster. Arkiv is about helping them protect what they make.
It's a tool that generates a cryptographic proof of your design work, timestamped and anchored permanently on the blockchain. Think of it as an unforgeable receipt that proves you created something first. We all need that more than ever now right? 👍
With AI scraping everything and design theft getting worse, having verifiable proof of creation has never mattered more. The EU AI Act is already in force. More legislation is coming. Arkiv gives you a record that holds up.
It takes about 60 seconds. Your file never leaves your device.
Drop your file → get your proof → download your certificate. That's it.
Free to try - no card required for your first few certifications.
Would love to hear what the Contra community thinks. Happy to answer any questions below. 👇

Just a bit of concept work I did over the weekend.
In my hometown we have a furniture store that has Italian heritage and has been family run for over 170 years!
On the top floor of this beautiful victorian building is their popular cafe.
The word 'Together' came to me for this concept Ad campaign.
In our culture now, and very much so in Italian culture for many, many years, is the coffee shop/cafe as this meeting point.
- A meeting point for the elderly to break that feeling of loneliness
- The meetup point for mums with young/pre-school kids for a place to sit and chat
- A place for family members of all ages to come together for a short while in our super-busy lives
I thought all of this, combined with a business that had been family run for all those years, the word 'Together' just works beautifully on so many levels.
