Bank Revolution

17 October 2011| Franco Bonadio

It’s official. The banking revolution’s underway. George Osborne has said so. The angry mob (us) smell blood and this time we want justice and nothing short of a revolution will do.  Deep down however, we fear we’ve heard it all before. Sure the banks and bankers get a ‘public’ slap but as changes to banking practices become drawn out, the ‘big idea’ is inevitably watered down and when (finally) put into practice, we (still the angry mob) won’t feel or notice a thing.

Tried and tested tips for a new adventure

A couple of years ago I remember watching Micheal Palin staring down at an unrecognisable plate of food, in a remote corner of the world and thinking … better eat up as I’ve no idea where my next meal’s coming from..”  That was then and when similarly I think about the design sector, I am glad those hungry days are now a fading memory.
