We’ve just completed a trade publication for an architect award project. As you can expect with the chairperson of judges being Simon Hodder, this 72 page book has been designed with very high production values. The publication is expected in shops this week.

Here are some comments from the commissioning bodies:

Rachael Farricker, Communications Manager at Regenerate Pennine Lancashire said, “Just to reiterate, the book is gorgeous – thank you so much. It is absolutely beautiful, better than I imagined it could be”.

Charlotte Myhrum, Design Review Manager at Places Matter said, “It is absolutely beautiful!  Well done! The images are strong and the format is great. I like the colours and I just think it is a very classy piece. Thank you both and all else who worked so hard to get it done in an incredibly short space of time”.

New additions to photography portfolio

There’s a new Sports category within our Photography section that’s full of exciting shots taken from various race tracks across the country. Hopefully these will you favour of what’s possible. If you need to commission a shot  that captures the thrill of the chase, give us a call.

New client – Hypervibe

It’s an exciting time for Hypervibe. They are launching a new product, named after the company, which is expected to revolutionise the health and fitness sector. Their USP is that you can experience a full workout in 10 minutes. We were commissioned to create an press ad that built on the uniqueness of the product and also create a distinctive look. So, bearing in mind the main sell, instead of claiming you’ve been too busy to get to the gym, you’ll now have to think of another excuse. Have a peek at the ad in the advertising category in our portfolio section.

CIPD nomination

Exciting news – we have been nominated for Best Press Ad for the CIPD (Chartered Institute for Personal Development) Awards. The national CIPD Awards will be bigger and more prestigious than ever. Produced, for the first time, in association with People Management magazine, the awards recognise only the highest creative standard in recruitment adverting. So, we’re really pleased that we’ve been shorlisted. Watch this space. Click on www.cipdrmas.co.uk/home for more info.

Odgers Berndtson – praise indeed

We have just completed another sector brochure for global headhunting firm, Odgers Berndtson. Our brief was to mirror the culture of their organisation by creating a vibrant and less traditional look whilst maintaining an air of sophistication. The use of vivid blocks of colour, engaging full bleed imagery along with copy that was succinct yet informative, enabled us to meet our objectives and produce a product that has been well received by the people responsible for commissioning us and also by the organisation as a whole. Giles Naylor, Head of Central Government Practice said, “It has arrived, looks really good. We are very pleased”. Delia Pegg, Head of Assessment Practice said, “I think they are really great and so far have been well received by our colleagues. The Chief Exec was particularly thrilled to find himself quoted on the front page. The colours are beautiful”. Take a look at the marketing category in our portfolio section to see what we’ve been up to.

New additions to photo portfolio

We’re having a busy few months. We have been commissioned by ECITB (Engineering Construction Industry Training Board) to create a large suite of material, including brochures, exhibition stands, promotional items and casestudies. All of which require original photography. So we’ve been jetting around the UK and have shot on location at power stations, colleges and various engineering companies. Photo assignments that require us to go to commercial operations have a major challenge. These companies are there to make money by being as productive as possible. So, asking an individual to stop what they’re doing and take time out to star in a photograph can be a bit of a nuisance. This means that we have to get the right shot first time – there’s no asking to set up the scene again. Take a look at the commissions category in our photography section to see what we’ve been up to.
