About the Author

---

Jim K Davies is one of the UK's most highly awarded copywriters. He works with design agencies and brands to help them tell their stories. A former Guardian journalist, he's written for design publications the world over - from Domus in Italy, to Idea in Japan, to Print in the US. Author of The Book of Guinness Advertising and several acclaimed books on philatelic design, Jim is a huge funk and soul fan. Two of the happiest (and most drunken) weeks of his life were spent as an intern at music paper Melody Maker. Jamie Ellul is founder and creative director of Supple Studio, a small Bath-based design and branding agency that thinks big. He's a multi-awarded member of D&AD and a seasoned book designer having created books for Thames & Hudson, BBC Books and Royal Mail. Jamie previously worked at several of London's most-lauded creative studios, including hat-trick, The Partners and Magpie - the latter set up with friends from art college. An accomplished bass player and a member of upcoming bands The Super Colours and The Mystery Callers, he'd happily trade all his success in the world of design for a record contract.
