A reminder about our  DESIGN TEAM CALL - click HERE for further details.
  I am not wanting a team with dozens of people.  I know that is "de rigueur"
 at the moment but I love a manageable group of people that can get to know 
each other & feel like an integral & indispensable part of something special 
so I'm being very selective & already have my shortlist.

   Please apply SOON if you are interested as it's getting tougher by the day :)


-----------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,
 using one image, several of them, all of them or even just
 one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!  

To be eligible for judging:-

1.   You need to follow our 10 Golden Rules found HERE, which include :-

1)  Sharing the mood board image.
