Microsoft is PC operating software king. Windows is the most dominant platform on PCs today, holding just over 96% of the market. So when the company brings out a new OS it’s time to sit up and listen. Their latest, Windows 7, launched with much fanfare two weeks ago today, on October 22nd, 2009. I promptly installed it on my desktop and on my laptop, replacing previous incarnations of Windows. So 14 days in what’s the new system like to use?
This Thursday evening sees SweetTalk 35 hitting The Sugar Club with a feast of graphic design & illustration deliciousness. 3 amazingly talented designers/typographers/illustrators will be speaking about their work: Alex Trochut (work produced for Nike, Coca-Cola, the The Guardian, British Airways, Addidas) Ian Stevenson (MTV, E4, Paul Smith, Perrier) Gaetan Billault (Jo’Burger, Bodytonic, Snyth Eastwood, Mongrel magazine) I’ve been to a few SweetTalk evenings and always find them really inspiring, especially the Q&A session afterwards with the speakers. Not to mention the comfy factor of The Sugar Club! But be warned - it’s a very popular event so either grab your tickets now at www.tickets.ie or get there in plenty of time on Thursday and grab them on the door. It’s €10 in, doors open at The Sugar Club at 7pm.
