It's publication day for It's What He Would've Wanted by Nick Ascroft. Congratulations, Nick!

The book cover is of-white. It has the title in black text, 'It's What He Would've Wanted,' and the author's name in orange text, 'Nick Ascroft'. A line drawing shows a man being shot out of a cannon towards an orange sun.

A photo of the author. Nick is a pakeha man with short, dark hair.

What makes a good election hoarding?

Todd Atticus is a designer and has designed plenty of election hoardings and joins Emile Donovan.

Chatting with Emile Donovan on RNZ in an hour about political hoarding design. I'm studiously reviewing all of this year's local body campaigns on the way into the studio...

Has anyone ever been convinced to change their vote by a hoarding?

The cognitive dissonance of accepting the name ‘u-turn’ for something that is quite clearly a lowercase n-turn.

Three of @assscroft.bsky.social’s five previous book covers were orange.

This one was no accident…

Hot off the press and out next week! How to Save Democracy in Aotearoa New Zealand by Sir Geoffrey Palmer, a book so impassioned that it needed some big chunky 3D type for its title @thwupbooks.bsky.social

In our house August 2nd is the start of Spring because it’s the first time in 3 months that sunlight directly enters the house.

If you can afford to advertise your oranges like this, you’re probably charging too much for them.
