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! “

Let’s get down to Pacifics

The Asia Pacific Rendezvous is a conference held for the movers and shakers in the financial markets. The brief from Pageant Media was to create the complete branding for the event. Below you will see examples of a banner ad and two magazine ads.

This is one of several pieces of work produced for Clare, (Events Manager, Pageant Media) and she was kind enough to send this testimonial:-

“Superb service, very efficient and always surprising you with fresh, innovative concepts! “

What do we want? JUSTICE! When do we want it? 8th of May 2008

The HFM Week EMEA Awards are an annual event that honors the year’s most successful hedge fund managers. This year the event is being held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London and my brief was to create a look and feel for the whole event that could be carried right through from the logo, to the award screens on the night. The design was influenced initially by the event’s Victorian setting and the theme of justice. You can see an example of a few elements below – a banner ad, a double page spread and some pages from the brochure. A larger version of the dps can be viewed here while the full brochure can be seen here.

Kate Holden is Head of Events at Pageant Media (the company that organised these awards). I have worked with Kate on quite a number of events now and she kindly sent through this testimonial:-

“I’ve always found the design work from Brightspark Creative to be of the highest quality. They generate plenty of creative ideas and suggestions and they always meet deadlines, ensuring projects run to schedule. They are always extremely friendly and a pleasure to deal with! “

Honestly officer I’m fine, I’ve only had a few ales!

Having created the Press Pack for the launch of ‘Always Crashing in the Same Car’, (the first film to reunite Richard E Grant and Paul McGann since ‘Withnail and I’) I was asked to create the cover for a double DVD of the film coupled with another BAFTA award winning short by the same director. I wanted the imagery for each film to work separately but to ensure it formed a cohesive whole. The result is below.

I’ve had some very positive feedback from the director and the producer:-

“Bright Spark carried out 2 pieces of design work around the same product. One design was a double sided DVD cover for 2 short films and the other was a press kit for a short film starring Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann of “Withnail & I”. Both designs were immaculate and arrived as fully finished pieces which exceeded my expectations by some distance. The press kit has been particularly successful at promotional events and both designs have exactly the kind of skewed elegance I was after.“
