Hey there pop pickers – here, for what it’s worth, is my top ten from the past year:

The inaugural 60 Watt best of 2007 poll has been conducted and these are the results.
Best Movie

A tight fought thing between Atonement and Last King of Scotland, but the award has to go to Atonement because Last King was, strictly speaking, a 2006 movie although most of us saw it in 2007.
These were closely followed [...]

Logo too small?  Too much wasteful whitespace in your ads and brochures? Want to incorporate some impactful starbursts? Agency way too inflexible?  What do they know anyway!  Get it sorted here:
