Maniacal Tabernacle

The founder of the Tabernacle Arts Cafe will be interviewed in the next issue of Art & Culture magazine. The design below is intended to illustrate the article and demonstrate the creativity and energy of the cafe.

Doing it for the kids

A few months ago, Mr Myles Music approached us to design a logo and identity for a new venture that would allow teachers and parents to download songs or scores for young children. Having completed the overall branding we began work on creating the e-commerce site. It had to appeal to adults and children alike while providing a mixture of professionalism and fun. A key part of the brief was to ensure that the client could easily update the content of the site themselves.

The response from the client has been fantastically positive and they were kind enough to provide this testimonial:-

“People keep commenting on how excellent the site looks. You’ve thoroughly captured the mood of what Mr Myles Music is all about and created a fun environment for the user. Great work!”

I created this poster for Mind to publicise their Parachuting event.

This is an amazing site when you need a bit of creative inspiration. A constantly updated collection of interesting, random images. I find it helps to spark things off when searching for an idea and gets the synapses crackling.

Broadcast to the nation

One of the best ways to reach people is through html email. You can be very specific in your target audience and using an opt-in system ensures that everyone who receives your mail will be interested in the content. Bright Spark also provides detailed analysis of the broadcast, including who opened, who clicked etc so you can determine exactly how successful the campaign has been.

Mind asked us to design and broadcast an html email to promote their Overseas Challenge Events. You can view the email here. They were so pleased with the results that we will be designing and broadcasting their html emails for events in 2008!
