Last month the Association of Illustrators hosted an event at the London Transport Museum to announce the winner of its Cycling in London poster competition. Airside went along, as Jamie’s Joy of Cycling poster was short-listed for the top prize.

While he didn’t win, it was great to see his design adorn the walls of the LTM as one of the 50 illustrations chosen from over 1,000 entries. Check out some more photos from the evening and the other short-listed prints over at Jamie’s blog.

Last month we mentioned that Airside is speaking at Typographic Circle’s next monthly event. Well, we’ve also done a poster advertising the event, which takes place at JWT in London’s Knightsbridge on Thursday 24th June 2010. Check out our pretty damn sweet piece of design below.

Typographic Circle is a not-for-profit organization, formed in 1976 to bring together anyone with an interest in type and typography. Their series of monthly lectures have featured talk by well-known type types, including Trevor Beattie, Anthony Burrill and Richard Morrison.

Yesterday we gave you the lowdown on Alex and Anne’s recent trip to Denmark, wonderfully illustrated by photos of hotdogs and Alex looking rather glum on a train. Yet it seems that some people out there weren’t happy with that.

“You mentioned an amazing old cotton-spinning factory that now houses Spinderihallerne’s creative hub in Vejle”, they cried, “where are the pictures of that?” It seemed a reasonable request, so here they are. Along with some Danish liquorice. Yum.

We finally got Alex and Anne to hand over their smuggled supplies of bacon, button cookies and not-actually-that-tasty-export-beer, along with some details for their recent trip to Denmark.

Disappointingly, they didn’t experience much Danish cuisine, as like most of the world, the Danes like to eat French and Italian food. The closest they came was the hotdog pictured below.

Anyhoo, aside from considering menus, the Airside duo gave a number of talks to the young, upright creative types of Denmark. First, they were invited by Lasse and Jeppe of lynfabrikken to speak at their creative space in Aarhus. Next they traveled to Vejle, to visit Spinderihallerne – a huge creative hub situated in an amazing old cotton-spinning factory.

Finally they hit the capital Copenhagen and design group Republikken, where they were interviewed for a podcast. A podcast of the lynfabrikken talk will also be available soon. We’ll let you know when we have the links. In the meantime, here’s a picture of Alex looking sad to be leaving the lovely Denmark, which you can just make out through the train window.

Back in January (the cold time you’ve done your best to forget), a less cold part of the world (Santa Barbara, California) added further warmth to their already toasty lives with volume two of the Amazing Animated Jukebox. The event, quite simply, consists of people sitting in a room watching animated music videos, which sounds like fun to us.

The good people behind the night asked if they could show the video for Lemon Jelly’s Shouty Track. We said yes, and they recently reported back that Shouty’s hand-drawn head-banging and ultra-violence caused much chuckling and chortling amongst the obviously mature and cultured crowd. Check out some photos from the night here.

The Guardian is recommending the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art’s Think Tank exhibition in their Exhibitionist section. The online feature promotes the best of the week’s exhibitions from around the UK.

Their Think Tank coverage is illustrated by a still from The Power Gap, Airside’s animated collaboration with Demos, which is currently showing as part of the exhibition. Think Tank’s run has now been extended to 13 February 2010.

We recently told you on our News section about our appearance in a video podcast made by design publishers Gestalten.

And now you can watch the video here – cos we’re dead clever and know all about embedding and the interweb and stuff.

Airside recently made the trip north to Newcastle to talk at Design Event 09 and we’ve got the photos to prove it. Nat Hunter and Fred Deakin chatted to a packed crowd at DanceCity about Airside’s history and body of work, as well as our efforts to increase environmental awareness amongst the design community.

They also showed stills from one of our most recent jobs: The Power Gap, a collaboration with Demos, that is part of Design Event 09’s Think Tank exhibition at Sunderland’s Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art. The exhibition runs until 23 Jan 2010.

Not content with bursting its colours all over your TV screens, our recent campaign for health care company Simplyhealth, is now appearing at a billboard near you.

So now you can have fun figuring out which roto-scoped Airsiders made the poster, while you wait in the rain for a bus.

Our new Airplot t-shirt was recently spotted at its spiritual home. The photos below show both t-shirts, as modelled by Greenpeace’s finest, at the Airplot site itself. Airplot is a small piece of land that sits in the middle of the proposed site for Heathrow Airport’s third runway.

You can back the campaign to stop airport expansion by signing up to be a beneficial owner of the land. And now you can show your support with the official Airplot Campaign t-shirt, exclusively available from Airside Shop. For every t-shirts sold, £2 of the price will go to Greenpeace.
