I have been trekking through Elephant and Castle underpass, from the old tube exit to LCC, on and off for the best part of 8 years and only this week did I notice that the number 1s stencilled onto the pavement along sections 12 and 10 are either upside down or back to front. Does that make me unobservant or just a bit of a weirdo for noticing at all?

I do believe I have missed the reversed numbers there too and quite regularly walk that route!
I have a beautiful old wooden original box of letter type stamps. Full alphabet, numbers and such..including a gorgeous 'and', 'for' and 1/2. The ONLY one missing is the capital 'I'. It has always been missing - where it might have strayed only it knows. If you'd like it you'd be welcome to it
This blog is both an archive of some of my previous work and a space for sharing my current research and practice.
Having worked as a Graphic Design lecturer at Nottingham Trent University since 1998, I have just completed my full time PhD at London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London, courtesy of the AHRC Doctoral Awards Scheme.
My current research project - Realising the Geo/graphic Landscape of the Everyday - inhabits the intersection between Graphic Design and Cultural Geography and explores possibilities for the representation of place.

I do believe it makes you both weird and observant. Wobservant, if you will...
