Much Mischief at Dyers’ Supper
Michael and Mhairi
I love this photo of my good friend Dr Mhairi Towler with her childhood pal, Michael Stirling, Creative Director, and Director of Mischief at the Beano!
It was taken at our recent Dyers supper where, as Deacon, I had the great pleasure of inducting six new members into the ancient craft. Fellow Dyers gave a warm welcome to Beth Bate, Shelley Barclay Horban, Gail Robertson, Sam Edmond, Craig Millar and Lynne Campbell.

Deacon Convenor of the Nine Trades, John Fyffe MBE gave a report on his recent activities, and mindful of the evening’s theme, brought along the colourful Comics and Characters panel from the Dundee Tapestry.
Celebrating all things Beano, new craft member, Lynne brought the evening to a memorable close, with a rendition of Sheena Wellington’s song, “The Dandy and the Beano”!

The interface was refreshingly minimal, with clear visual hierarchy and intuitive navigation that didn't demand constant reorientation. Seeing these principles of accessibility and clear guidance being applied consistently across the experience made me realise how much thoughtful design can support not…
