OUR HISTORY

What happened to Serial/Trash?

For those who don't know... Tapping Gravity is the rebranded version of Serial/Trash Ltd.

 

About 20 years ago, two friends launched a music magazine inspired by London’s live venues and zines. We named it “Serial Trash” for its serialised, ephemeral nature of music magazines. The magazine didn’t last, but the name did. Charlie kept the name for his design business because it made him laugh. And the name has seen him through a financial crash, a pandemic and hundreds of projects. Now, we’ve retired the name as we’ve moved on, letting it fade away.

We’ve worked with Charlie for many years. His creativity, positivity, and consistent quality have greatly impacted our team, making it easier to communicate with our members. He’s open-minded, and I couldn’t imagine collaborating with anyone else.

13 Sharks

Charlie is who I go to when I need fresh ideas. I’ve worked with him on many projects but the work he did on 13 Sharks was my favourite. He really helped us with our strategy and he always kept things fun. And who doesn’t want to have a laugh at work?
