September has been such a vibrant month in Bristol!
Last weekend, one of our designers explored the world of dinosaurs at the Bristol Zoo.
The exhibition continues until November, so there is still a chance to see the dinosaurs before they disappear again.
With the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival continuing until 23rd September and Brisfest starting today in Ashton Court it looks to be another weekend full of entertainment treats.
We look forward to taking some great photos!
This week in our office we've been starting work on contracts for our new clients including a cleaning company and a company specializing in saving tax on commercial property expenditure.
For businesses using social media:

Art & Design:
3D art is by no means a novelty yet it continues to surprise and delight us.

While 3D art is often displayed on the streets, this week we spotted a collection of spectacular 3D drawings created on sketchbooks in the privacy of the artist's studio.
Have a look at these eye-catching 3D images by Fredo, an up-an-coming 17 year-old artist.
With the world's landfills bursting with our waste, recently there has been a lot of emphasis on 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle).
Promoting an eco-friendly culture is relevant to everyone and some artists are embracing it in their work.
The Third Generation Furniture project by Jason Fletcher utilises binned objects and other waste materials, transforming them into modern pieces of furniture.
To recycle is one thing, to be able to turn trash into practical yet artful and sellable goods is utterly genius.
