The recently relaunched Grafik magazine just keeps on getting better! The current issue features an in depth profile by Robert Urquhart on our lettering designer Letman and his journey from from graffiti kid to serious designer. Also featured is Big Active’s Mat Maitland and Will Sweeney in conversation with Angharad Lewis. They discuss Mat’s intriguing design references behind Das Pop’s new album, “I was thinking about Cluedo and Russian roulette…”, as well as exploring the story behind Will’s animated video for the album’s title track ‘The Game’. www.grafikmag.com

The physical release of Das Pop’s new single ‘Try Again’ is limited to 250 copies of 7″ vinyl only. We have hand customised a number of these for the band as you can see in this neat clip. There’s also a selection of the finished results in our music portfolio. Each cover is unique, so if you’re lucky enough to find one you’ll have a completely original piece of Big Active artwork as well as a really great track by the band!
