The beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning...

OK. I’m going to start by introducing myself. I’m Mark and I head up the design department of Left & Right Clothing. This is the most important stage because a) I work in it, b) refer to point a. I joined L&R in late 2008 and we’re now at a stage where we want to turn heads with our products.
This blog has been a little bit light on added value but hopefully that is soon to change. On a weekly basis I’m going to be updating the blog (and News page on our site, www.leftandright.co.uk/News.html) every Friday regardless of whether I actually have anything to say...

So with the start of this week I’m going to break down my activity list! I started with the brief of all briefs; plan my actions for the next 6 months!











From that we’ve been working on a whole host of things. I “Tweet” daily (I’ll never get used to saying that) and have worked on further magazine ads which will be coming out periodically over the next month or so. I’ve liaised with china manufacturers over some skate shoe designs so that‘s a work in progress at the moment. A light bit of research was required for another addition to our growing empire; a new website will be created over the coming months so look out for updates. Oh, AND some amazing business cards! I’m stupidly stoked about these cards. I feel like Christian Bale’s Patrick Bateman ;)

Overall the basic aim of this as with our brand is to have fun, be creative and push for quality. I hope to achieve this over the coming weeks with my work at L&R as well as on this blog. So feel free to follow, subscribe or whatever else it is people do on blogging sites and come with me on an all-access pass of the behind-the-scenes action here at Left & Right. You’ll see how the company works and grows without a single whiff of pompous, arrogance that you may get from other people in the ‘biz’.

Now where’s that runner with my double mocha cinnamon latte I asked for!...
