@British_Airways disgraceful service! As a frequent flyer / 12 years I expect better.
Locked out of my account by BA and informed that I will not be logged in for 7-9 working days despite business flights every week. Speaking to BA 6 times over 3 days to no avail. Infuriating

@DeborahMeaden As a regular airline passenger I find this is unfortunately, the norm at all international airports. It’s an absolute joke.

@British_Airways customer service is a joke! Having flown #BA for 10 years with the potential of being stranded overseas as their app and website will not allow online booking. To then call them for assistance to be told due to excessive demand they cannot help then cut me off.

The skill, precision and time taken by the artist known as Hinky to create these folded book creations is mind blowing.

Although the book is unreadable in its new format you have to appreciate the creativity.

Youngest daughters class #EdSheeran egg entry, taking supplies in (painted box black @ home) ‘Egg Sheeran & President Zelensky at Concert for Ukraine’. #Bullied @ school today, branded a ‘cheat’ as Mummy is a designer ‘who made it for her’ - considering it was made at school😡

This begs the question who proof read and approved this prior to printing?

£300,000 worth of merchandise commemorating the upcoming Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations have been rendered worthless after a printing error.

Plates, mugs, cups and saucers…https://t.co/03kR23CnQF

I have always been fascinated by fashion illustrations.

However, Noor Almahdi takes the technique to another level with her use of tape as a base, then embellishes further using conventional methods.

Fore-edge book painting is such a beautiful technique and expertly executed by Bri Marie.

The artist fans the books pages before clamping and illustrating them to create an effect that’s only visible once the pages of the book are fanned.

A fabulous illustration by SomewhereIsentirely - Dmt Dreams that create an effective moiré effect when scrolling.

As an experienced print professional moiré patterns arnt an effect I usually appreciate but this is fantastic.

Lawrence Beckers insight into stop motion animation is a lesson in creativity, patience and harnessing an active imagination.

The definition of pad printing - printing by marshmallow!

Such a moorish process.

I posted this fabulous example of immersion printing a number of months ago, but feel compelled to share again as its beauty simply warrants it!

Scientists invent a new technology to #print invisible messages

The #technology uses water to print messages on paper coated with manganese. The invisible message, can be read by shining UV light on the #paper.

Apply hot air and the message is erased and the paper reused.

This creative OOH advertising takes the concept of fragranced ink to a new level.

Designers of a certain vintage will absolutely remember this piece of kit!

Omnicrom was introduced into the UK in 1985 and was a must for design studios and ad agencies.

As one of her mindfulness tasks today, Ava enjoyed reading ‘Windows’ by Julia Denos and then creating her own cityscape! We all know how that family of four are feeling! #childrensmentalhealthweek2021
