Glasgow-based design studio O Street has hired a new creative director, Ed Watt to bolster its team.
O Street's co-founder David Freer added: "We interviewed a lot of great designers, but Ed's proven track record of managing his own agency and his digital and Ping Pong skills made him a perfect choice".
Meanwhile, O Street has launched a new website that includes a TV channel: 'O Tube', a radio stream: 'O fm' and an online shop.
Co-founder Neil Wallace said of the "The design is much cleaner and fresher than our previous site. We wanted to draw more attention to the work, so there is a lot of clean white space and bold colour imagery."
O Street's new online shop sells a range of items designed by the agency, including a series of skateboards. They have collaborated with Glasgow longboarding legend Will Thornton and ShowPony to design the series (longboards and shortys, pictured) and a range of t shirts.
Check the video stream on O Street's website to see Wallace and Freer learning to ride them.

Thanks folks and thanks David and Neil for the kind words. Should be said Angus Paterson (off to france) put lots of hard work into these skate boards, including sawing off the end of the table tennis table. But it was worth it, they look great!
