They’re the reason why our site looks so pretty, they’re the reason why we can use pictures like this and this to accompany our hard-hitting stories – without our whizkid designers, Pedestrian.TV would look, well… shit. To get you inspired for our last Pedestrian Coach session of 2013 with typographer Gemma O’Brien, take at what was stimulating the right side of their brains this year. You would’ve seen Drew’s handiwork across things like The Contiki Insider Project and Open Studio, while Gordy’s mouse was all over the 2013 Pedestrian.TV Bachelorette of the Year, the 2013 Ultrabook Blogsters Awards and the 2013 Pedestrian.TV Photography Awards.
