Jonny recently celebrated 10 years at Air. Congratulations Jonny, here’s to another 10!

Bird of prey - Doha Airport

So there I was at the departure gate at Doha Airport and sitting next to me was this gentleman with a rather magnificent Falcon sitting in his lap (Perrigrene?). Dodgy photo as for obvious reasons I didn’t want to upset him or his precious cargo.

Turns out this is not uncommon during falconry season. Fly about the region and your immediate companion may not be a person but a proud bird of prey. Falconry in the Gulf is big business, and during the hunting season the birds of prey are treated with great care. Not surprisingly, as the best birds can cost thousands of dollars.

Wouldn’t see that on the London Tube!

Les Contamines 2010

Snapped at the bottom of a chairlift in Les Contamines last week whilst enjoying a few days in the snow. This is what we’d call an ‘instruction’ sign. Proof that not all signs can be taken at face value.

Designed by Air

“Great solution to our brief and really gives us a flexible base to work from in the future. It looks and feels original and fresh and allows us to present strong content to our gallery visitors in an approachable and easy to read format. I have seen lots of visitors leaving with a copy under their arm – as you would with a broadsheet newspaper”

Air Design has been asked to create wayfinding, signage and mapping for Cardiff on the strength of a signage project for the city’s St David’s shopping centre which is to be unveiled in October.

Our Jonny went to the opening day of St David’s shopping centre to experience it first hand. Watch the official launch video above, if you look closely you can see some of our signs!
