Invoice Template


Free Invoive Template for Designers

Hello Cookie here, I occasionally post the odd thing to Roome’s blog, and today is one of those days. After searching the internets for a decent invoice template the other day, I only found garbage. So I decided to make a really nice looking one and throw it out there, might be of use to someone.

It’s probably only really suited to designer/illustrator types, as it’s a Photoshop file. Download it here. All the coloured shapes are just masked off flat colours so it should be pretty simple to change the colour scheme, stick a you’re own logo in etc. All the text is editable, although if you don’t want to change the fonts, you’ll need Knockout, Phaeton & Numbers Indicia.

Feel free to do with it what you will.


Rare digital insight from a politician


I have to say this made me chuckle, I know it shouldnt, but it did!!!!!!!! what can I say sense of humour of a child!

Asked whether he used Twitter, Mr Cameron (thats Dave to many conservative party members)  said: “The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it - too many twits might make a twat.”

Coughs and Sneezes spread…………………


Coughs and sneezes spread diseases now you really should be catching them in your handkerchief….

More and more people seem to be affected by swine flu, a little scary , worth taking note The UK has now moved from the ‘containment’ to the ‘treatment’ phase of swine flu (H1N1) as the number of people catching swine flu continues to rise.

Health Secretary Andy Burnham said that cases are doubling every week and if it continues at this rate there could be over 100,000 cases per day by the end of August.


Looking for studio space??


Based in the heart of Shoreditch our friends are looking for a small company to sublet or potentially take over their studio space. Room for up to 8 people, with wooden floors , floor to ceiling windows, private bathroom with shower and set up for a company to easily move into, this is a really lovely opportunity for a company or group of individuals to move into a working office.

For me details do give us a call.


At least we work in digital…


For those of you that work in digital advertising there’s a ray of sunshine today from Brand Republic who say that internet adspend is holding up better than predicted in these tumultuous times, while newspaper adspend continues to decline. Apparently global internet advertising will grow 10% this year due in part toits transparency, accountability and flexibility”. Take a look at the article which also has some interesting facts about which countries have the largest ad markets and most growth.


Great Glug Gathering

Roome sponsor Glug!


Hopefully some of you will already have signed up to come along to the 11th Glug, happening this Thursday 25th June from 6pm at The Queen of Hoxton. Roome Consulting are very happy to be sponsoring the event by way of bangers and other fine fodder for the BBQ on the roof, and we hope there will be even more random chat and merriment than ever. To add to the fun the Glug boys have invited eight illustrators who’ll be working on the stairwell and roof creating bespoke t-shirts, so bring along a blank to get some free original art-T’s to take home. With that and the special Glug punch on offer, it’s shaping up to be a pretty special evening…

Roome and Glug
