Studio news
Journey Milestones and four other finds
This month’s collection of finds revolves around movement. From the mesmerising pulse of jellyfish and a peek into the art of moving letters, to an innovative new way to transport liquids using paper bottles.
60 songs and four other finds
Okay, I’ve left it far too late to wish you all a happy New Year, so I hope your January has been a good one so far. This newsletter was supposed to be out weeks ago but hopefully this audio-heavy collection of finds will supply the soundtrack to the rest of the month.
Jingle Hoops and four other finds
This month’s edition has a sprinkling of festive cheer and some gift ideas alongside the usual creative creations that have caught our eye. Grab a brew and a handful of Christmas chocolates and click away.
A hopeful Christmas message with added festive sparkle
For 2024, rather than the usual mini booklet, Yarn wanted to send something simple but beautiful. A short, hopeful message for the year to come.
Our 2024 bird-themed Christmas card
We’ve had a couple of years off from sending a Lark Christmas missive. So, having spent much of our time this year developing digital designs, it felt high time to get back to some good ol’ fashioned print.
Granite folds and four other finds
This month’s studio collection feels loosely linked to my current autumnal mood. Brew some coffee, stick some music on and dive on into the work of some very talented folk.
Halloween tote bag featured by CeativeMornings
Our Haloweeen-inspired, glow-in-the-dark tote bag has been featured on the CreativeMornings blog to coincide with their theme for this October, ‘Vision’.
Door-to-door sales (and letting)
Ever wondered what lies behind those colourful facades around West London? Well Homesite knows. As part of their spring/summer marketing we were tasked with creating a vibrant, eye-catching campaign to promote their sales and letting services.
Lark is seven
Time flies! Lark just turned seven and now that the smoke from the candles has cleared and the cake has been cut, we’ve taken a look back at the work completed over the last year.
What can Lego teach about reconfiguring and rejuvenating existing branding?
As well as defining new brands 2023 was a year of developing existing ones. Making the Millennium Falcon from hacking a Lego set was a reminder that sometimes all the pieces are there, they might just need to be put together in a different way.
Print design for a festive story
We’ve got one last news post to finish off the year and it’s a timely one. Following on from our festive creations last year and in 2021, we’ve once again created a Christmas correspondence for our copywriting collaborator Sophie Titcomb of Yarn.
Giving. Thanks.
This year we’ve decided to donate our Christmas marketing budget to the MacGregor Children’s Ward at Warwick Hospital. We’ve purchased a selection of gifts, toys and games to entertain them and their families during their stay.
Christmas rules
Whether you like it or loath it, Christmas has come early this year. The John Lewis advert is out, Bublé is stirring from his slumber and mince pies are flying off the shelves at an alarming rate. We’ll all be subject to an avalanche of festive tidings next month so why not make yours stand out.
A website design update for a strategic copywriter
We’ve recently relaunched the website of our friend and close collaborator Sophie Titcomb (Yarn). After developing the visual identity a few years ago, the site needed a refresh to coincide with changes to the business.
A creative outlet
This spooky season bag yourself a unique hand screen-printed tote to store those tasty Halloween treats. We’ve opened a studio shop giving us the opportunity to sell a curated collection of products using sustainably sourced materials and environmentally friendly production methods.
Icons as part of a visual identity
We’ve found a few times as we’ve worked through the branding or rebranding process that clients don’t see iconography as an important asset even if they’re already using them. So, we thought it would be useful to put together a little ‘ode to the icon’.
Featured by Creative Boom
We’re very pleased to see our work for Ordnance Survey featured on the brilliant Creative Boom, an art, design and visual culture magazine and website aimed at the creative industries.
A Tate trip
With a holiday to Cornwall planned, we took the opportunity to finally get to the iconic Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. An inspiring show featuring a colourful collection of artists from the Casablanca Art School greeted us at the Tate. And we were lucky enough to see Hepworth’s garden in full bloom.
Lark is six
Lark turned six this month and to celebrate we’ve taken a look back over some projects from the past year. As always we couldn’t do it without all of our client’s, collaborators, friends and followers. Thank you.
