Think about what happened to vinyl<\/strong><\/p>\n

Records were huge in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Then there were tapes and CDs and finally the birth of the MP3 (Moving Picture \u2013 if you wondered).<\/p>\n

Suddenly digital music took over. iPods loomed large. Then something surprising happened. The tables turned and DJs started spinning discs. Teenagers thought they were cool. Everyone likes the warmer, richer sound, the art and there was a connection between the generations. Suddenly vinyl made a resurgence and now with trendy vinyl stores opening all over the UK, vinyl is here to stay.<\/p>\n

Print is back with a vengeance too<\/strong><\/p>\n

We never stopped loving print. There\u2019s something about the colours and life of a printed postcard, leaflet or brochure that feels bright and real. Printed literature has a long life. It gets passed around, considered and stays at home for everyone to see. Print isn\u2019t dead, digital didn\u2019t kill it, because print offers style and substance.
