Mailer on FormFiftyFive

Chuffed to see my mailer making a renewed appearance in the blogosphere, on design blog FormFiftyFive. Some very kind comments, too. Thanks to all.

'And' mailer gets some more blog space

Great to see my mailer on two new blogs today: Noisy Decent Graphics and Draw the Line.


Picture nicked from Ben. Hope that's okay, Ben.

I've had a little slew of new requests for copies as a result. So many thanks to Ben and James.

More blogging about the mailer

This is really very gratifying indeed. David has posted his own piece about the mailer, with some more lovely pictures. I am thrilled.

Mailer on AceJet170

I've enjoyed the AceJet170 blog for a long time, with its mixture of found type images, vintage design and, latterly, chickens.

So it's a special pleasure for me that Richard, who writes the blog, has posted about my little ol' mailer.



As well as some kind words (and a splendid verbal flourish that suggests he has little need for my services), Richard has included a set of lovely photos. They put my own to shame, as you can see from these examples. (It's okay, he said I could borrow them.)





Thanks, Richard.

The Design Luminary Seal of Approval

Just had another nice email about the mailer:



"I thought it was wondrous... an example of what you can do when you wake up," says Michael Wolff. (Formerly of Wolff Olins, just in case you're not in the biz.)

You may consider me chuffed.

Mailer proving a bit of a hit

My mailer seems to be going down well, I'm happy to say. Latest responses include:

"Thanks for sending me your mailer, I LOVE it. Love it soooo much. LOVE IT.
I'm gushing, but I loooove it. It's lovely."

And:
"Just a quick note to say thanks for the booklet. Very clever and very beautiful."

And:
"I've had a glorious day with my new friend, taking it out and about and indeed showing it off to friends and colleagues. So I was devastated when I opened my work bag to discover it had gone...
So with my bottom lip quivering (and fingers crossed) could I be so bold as to ask you for another one of your little booklets?"

And:
"Just got the mailer - very lovely, very jealousy-inspiring."

And:
"Just got your mailer in the post. And what a lovely piece of work it is... Brilliant idea and beautifully executed."

300million's little video is helping too.

"Hi Mike," says one emailer, "(if there are any left) I would love one of the 'And' books...for the simple reason I MUST KNOW HOW IT WORKS!"

Somebody else wrote that, "we had a good crowd of designers around the youtube clip here in the studio I wondered if I could trouble you for a real copy..."

There are more, but I think you get the idea. It's all doing my ego a power of good.

If you'd like to see what all the fuss is about, there are some left. Just ask: mike[at]reedwords.co.uk
