Decoration for the Nation (well, London at least)

Decoressence is a London based, interior decorating and home services company run by decoration guru, Andrea Roth. Andrea approached us to create an identity from scratch and to design a website that would showcase the Decoressence talent, flair and efficiency.

The first step was to create the logo. Andrea was looking for something that would illustrate the feminine slant to the business and convey an elegant yet powerful image. The result is below.

With the logo established, we set to work on designing the website. It’s just gone live and Andrea tells me she has already had some very positive feedback. You can judge for yourself at www.decoressence.co.uk

We’re happy to say that Andrea was very pleased with the result and was kind enough to write this testimonial:-

“David Nolan has abundant creative talent and marketing nous and I am thrilled with the sophisticated looking logo and website he developed  for me. I was tentative at the start of the process but he nurtured me through skilfully in a way that I was able to overcome my fears and I grew to completely trust his judgement. He delivered when he said he would, on time, and kept me informed at every stage. His quote was extremely competitive and there were no hidden surprises. I recommend Bright Spark Creative with absolute confidence.”

Swing into action!

The Tabernacle Arts Cafe is holding an evening of jumpin’ swing later this month. Below is our design for the publicity poster. Go daddy-o go and so forth…

Are you having a laugh?

Mind are launching a comedy night next month and briefed us to create a concept for the look and feel of the event, beginning with a logo. The logo had to work independently of the Mind insignia but still be clearly linked. We used the distinctive scribble element of the Mind brand within this new ident and gave it a topical relevance by converting it into a microphone lead. This established a visual connection while serving to demonstrate the nature of the event.

The next stage of the brief was to create a promotional poster that would expand on the identity, generate interest and be adaptable enough to work within different mediums such as newspaper ads, postcards etc. We provided three concepts which can be seen below. The top version is the approved final artwork:-

Tickets for the event are still available and all proceeds go towards the extremely important work that Mind do. To find out more and to book your tickets please click here.

Streets ahead

Living Streets is an organisation that campaigns to create better streets and public spaces for people on foot. They briefed us to create a poster to encourage people to make a pledge to walk more often – either to work, picking up the kids, during lunch etc. It had to be eye-catching, colourful and persuasive. The result is below:-

Best music by myles and myles

Mr Myles Music is aimed at teachers and parents of young children who would like to download songs or buy songbooks to help their young’uns learn and have fun with music. We were approached to create a complete identity and to design and build a content managed e-commerce site.

The final logo is below and we’re working on the site at the moment. It will be up and running in the next few months and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s finished.

Welcome to the Rat Race

The Rat Race is a physical and mental adventure challenge that uses the cityscape as its playground. Mind briefed us to design a magazine ad that would merge the two identities, creating an exciting, urban and fresh feel. The result is below.

Should the engine be making that noise?

Advantage Driving School briefed us to redesign their identity from scratch. It needed to be instantly recognisable, clean and contemporary. We set the guidelines for their new look and produced the logo, letterhead and business cards followed by a flyer – all shown below:-

Action!

Filmmaker John Moffat got in touch, having seen some work I had created for the launch of a new film. His brief was to create a logo, business card and stationery that was ” clean, minimal, colorful, and different” that would appeal to his potential clients (musicians, ad agencies, business people) and ensure he stood out as a ‘brand’. The result is based on a photo of John and creates an iconic, unique image.

John is a very talented director and I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more from him in the future. You can view a recent music video of his below.

“I think Dave’s work at Bright Spark Creative is amazing. I always respect a person that takes pride in their craft. I’m a director who is constantly seeking improvement, and constantly polishing my work. Kick ass work, keep it up! “

Off to a flyer

We created the website for By Hand Healing a couple of months ago (www.byhandhealing.co.uk). More recently, I provided them with a choice of flyers – some of which can be seen below.

“Dave created my company branding, designed my business cards, comp slips and flyers plus built my website – all looks very professional. Dave managed to create the perfect look for my business and is great at communicating with his clients. I cannot recommend Dave and Bright Spark Creative enough! “

Adventure into unchartered territory

Adventure Okehampton is an adventure and activity centre, situated in the heart of Dartmoor. They felt that they were not getting as high a share of the market as they should, as their image was anchored in the Youth Hostel sector. With exceptional facilities and a great location, they wanted to retain their current customer base but reach a wider audience. The brief was to create an identity that would help them achieve this. An example of the logo design and stationery is below.

We have an ongoing relationship with Adventure Okehampton and are currently working on their brochure as well as a few additional projects. I’ll update with details and examples as and when they are completed.
