Well firstly I want one. I have been thinking about a laptop for when I have meetings with clients, but I would probably not use it much to do anything else. I have my proper Mac for that. So to show my portfolio, talk clients through things, read books, watch movies etc. Great. It does everything I need. But 2 things stick out for me where it fails at present.

Firstly there is no multi-tasking. Rather annoying. But I presume this will be sorted for the next OS release.

And secondly, still no Flash Player! This is a nightmare for obvious reasons. I have had a look about the web too and see no indiction that it will be supported further down the line.

So based on this I am now considering a macbook. Purely for Flash.
So come on Apple, another great product but please, please sort the Flash out! And then I will buy one.

Weta Digital is the company behind ground breaking special effects for movies such as Avatar, King Kong and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Seems they have taken over from Industrial Light and Magic who were responsible for Star Wars. Weta are based in New Zealand. Have a look at their website wetafx.co.nz

So why doesn't a logo cost the same as a night out? First and foremost a logo is the first impression you give any potential client.

It's your image.

The logo should inspire trust and admiration for your company. It's my job as a designer to produce you a logo that conveys this to your clients. If not I am not doing my job properly.

If it's poorly thought about and knocked together in a day it will not do you or your company any favours. A great logo has been thought about and developed. The best ones work because they are simple. These are the ones that take ages to perfect, but they last a lifetime.

Think Nike. Others such as BBC and Adidas. These are great, they have longevity.

I really wanted to put examples up of bad ones, but felt it was wrong.

I follow this basic process to do a logo:

1. A design brief
2. Brainstorming
3. Sketching and looking at typefaces
4. Rendering
5. Send to client
6. Revise and finish

This should take a bare minimum of 2 days, and that's very short.

I can do a logo in a couple of days given all the information I need. But It can also take months.

It should take as long as it takes!

If you use Internet Explorer, don't. Use Safari or Firefox. Honestly, you won't be having a good time. It would probably be like swimming the Atlantic in glue. If you are looking at this site in IE then you will not see any of the nice rounded corners I have lovingly created to make this page look appealing to the eye. So do me favour, please delete it from your computer and download something that works. Firefox will do fine, but Safari is better. Go on what are you waiting for? If you don't do it then everyone who attempts to create a great site for your enjoyment will be wasted on you. And you will lose out.

Sue Lunt has a degree as Master of Design, and was for many years a curator of decorative art at National Museums Liverpool. Her wide knowledge of twentieth century architecture and design is the basis which inspires the jewellery she creates. She admires the boldness in the use of colour and form which she sees in the best of twentieth century design, whether it is the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the work of the Art Deco designers in France. Her jewellery shows the same unashamed delight in bold shapes and singing colour harmonies, and reflects her own enthusiasm for life’s pleasures.

Sue lives in the northwest and her work can be seen in the Bluecoat Display Centre, Liverpool; the Ropewalk Gallery, Barton upon Humber and Gallery SCA, Shrewsbury.

The jewellery is made from materials that include coral, glass, moonstone glass, crystal, millefiori, cinnabar laquer and silver fittings.

If you can't plug your mother then who can you plug? She also has had an article written about her in the Liverpool Echo and Daily Post on Thursday 12th November 2009. Read it here

A full website be coming soon. Thanks to Tommo for doing such a great job on the photographs.

 3 Trousers presents a one minute horror movie. Brilliant.

A movie revolution will take place at the end of the year - potentially offering as big a leap in our viewing experience as the change from black-and-white television to colour.

James cameron, the film director who pushed technical effects to the limit with the blockbuster Titanic in 1997, and ushered in the dawn of action films with '80s classics such as Terminator and Aliens, has unleashed the film he has been hoping to make for nearly 20 years.

Avatar, when it is released in December, will be the most ambitious 3D film ever released, and the first trailer, unveiled on the Internet recently, gives us a glimpse of the future.

This year's Kyoorius Designyatra conference in Mumbai re-united Michael Wolff and Wally Olins on stage in a session that pulled few punches when it came to their thoughts on modern-day brand consultancies

The session was chaired by CR editor, Patrick Burgoyne. "Some of the quality of work and the quality of thinking that some of the major design consultancies charge people a lot of money for is obscene and absurd," says Wolff in this extract in which the pair are asked what they think of hostile media attitudes towards branding and how design consultancies should defend themselves.

I found this very interesting cos I also think that some work that costs stupid money is pretty poor, but have found myself in positions many times where clients want a whole brand for £200. It's a mad world.

I have just sorted out and uploaded new shots to my sister site www.siluntz.co.uk.  Mostly stuff from the past few years which I've not had time to adjust, tweak, nudge and tickle. Next step for me is to work on my coffee table book. Hopefully it will be ready before Christmas. Anyway have a look as it's split up into sections - Animals, Snow, Landscapes, People and Illustration - The Ambassador of Zarg is on there too!

Finally after a year in the making The Credit Munch Cook Book is available to order online. It is amazing. I'm not sure I would try and eat any of it but it certainly makes me laugh. Outrageous recipes, great photography, full of humour. Click here to order yours online today. I will be placing a few orders shortly as ideal for Christmas gifts.
