The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

— Casino de Paris – Identity
A gorgeous monochromatic identity here for a bistro restaurant in Jerusalem, Israel. The typography is fresh and fun, and the use of strong pattern is not overdone, just right! It has the perfect feel for a retro-Parisian outfit.

— Musical Table
This art installation is a treat for the ears. Made by Japanese product designers Kyouei Design, it is a table of volume knobs, all connected to a tiny little music box. Each box plays one single note, the tempo being controlled by the knob it’s connected to. The result is a beautiful if slightly chaotic musical score.

— Photo Constucts by Scott Hazard
Each of Scott Hazard’s ‘construct’ images is made by layering an image over an over, and then tearing concentric holes into each layer to create depth and a strange perspective.

— Hotel Marlborough Cover
I can only assume that this is a beautiful menu cover for the Hotel Marlborough – hand painted in pretty watercolour, it looks pretty archaic. Just one of those things that appears online with no reference to its origin!
