Some free thinking

15th December

One book referenced as a “Big Idea” this year was Wired editor Chris Anderson’s “Free: the future of a radical price”. Whether his prediction that we are moving to an expectation that goods should come for free is right or wrong we debated here. Nevertheless, in a spirit of goodwill to all men (and wanting to grasp the zeitgeist), we have created a free anthology from this year’s Design Gazette (with predictions for the year ahead) which we are sending to our clients. If you aren’t a client, but you would like a copy, please get in touch via the “comment” link below. Ten copies free, first come, first served (unless you are the influential marketing exec on a global brand, in which case we promise to send you a copy even if you are a bit tardy!). It’s certainly not a big idea book, but it does have one or two little ideas on the way branding is evolving…

A few spreads shown below…

    Put me down for a copy! With the dark nights drawing in, the opportunity to delve into the jkr Design Gazette’s first novel is just too bigger offer to miss. Well done Mr Silas Amos, for all your hardwork bringing that to print. I look forward to the ending when we find out if Brad Pitt really has been Captain Birdseye all along!

    I do hope I’m not too late. How could I resist a free something?

    Just missed the Top 10 but I am one of those influential director types you wanted to hear from. Here comes the compliment: your blog has been inspiring and thought-provoking in equal measure, keep up the good work in 2010.
