6 May, 2010 (11:50) | News, Not work as such | By: Brian

After what seems to have been an eternity we are now voting for our next government. There have been lies, subterfuge and more spin than a launderettes on wash day, but now finally we might get a new kind of politics in Britain.

Last year, not long after we’d printed our 1,000 copies of the Original Designers Workbooks, we sent a few off to Grafik in the hope that they’d put them in their magazine.
