Our website has been live for a year now so we felt it was a good time to do a bit of spring cleaning (despite it being winter). We’ve made a few modifications (as regular visitors might notice) as well as adding a brand spanking new page showcasing our digital media work! Much more to come in the new year.

Our friends down at Yorkshire Artspace have an Open Studios event on this weekend. We’ve designed all the bits and pieces for it with a distinctly pink theme. Idea being two fold: 1. This year they’ve got a van parking up in Persistence Works housing a ‘sweet making performance’ by Sweet Theatre (hence candy pink) and 2. They wanted something distinctive but didn’t have a huge budget, meaning printing was limited to one or two colours. One or two colours always printed onto pink gives it all a nice coherent feel. Even the internal signage is printed in house onto pink paper (7 quid for 500 sheets from Staples… other stationers are available).
It was a real local arts affair, with Archipelago just down the road screen printing some of the brightest posters you’ll ever seen in your life. Find out more about Open Studios on the Yorkshire Artspace site…

Wow! What can I say possibly our most difficult and demanding client – he’s more than happy with that title believe it or not. Duncan is a photographer and we’ve been working on his identity and forthcoming website for the last 6 years (6 months really). He’s a top bloke and even lets us borrow his Alpha Spyder from time to time. Duncan Raban photography coming soon…We hope.

Sorry for the long protracted delay of P&P announcements! Needless to say we have a lot of catching up to do as we have been working non-stop over the last few months hense the influx of new posts!, no excuse we know!. First things first we’ll start with the bragging rights. Last week we attended the ISTD 2009 awards, the only international award of it’s kind to judge the work based purely on typographical excellence. We were over the moon to receive 4 awards for: Jefferson Sheard, Osmosis, U&I and electricworks. Well worth the gruelling 3 1/2 hour last train to sheffield!

Having already worked with founder of the legendary BIBA fashion label, Graham & Brown once again collaborated with Barbara Hulinicki to produce there first ever flock wallpaper collection and we were approached to design the marketing materials for the launch. Our solution was process driven, using seductive papers and foiling techniques to compliment this luxorius collection influenced by memories of Barabara’s childhood in South Florida and the Victorian period.

It was about that time of year again recently: The clocks went back and we designed The Architecture Foundation Autumn bulletin. Because we’ve been so busy of late (and a bit slack aswell) I can’t alert you to any of the events in the bulletin that you should try and get to. They’ve almost all been and gone! However if you check the AF website, there’s all sorts of good stuff going on in the coming weeks: Tomorrow there are two films about London at Architecture On Film; A week later there’s an event about The Yale Building Project (sounds interesting) and incase you’re in the area there’s an exhibition running until 4th December (London_Rome Work in Process) at the British School at Rome.
We’ll be starting work on the new bulletin soon for winter so check back to find out what else the AF have to offer.
