- Custom tube-mailer and promo art print for Generation Press as part of our series of ongoing branding work for the Brighton-based printer. GP required a sturdy mailer for posting out proofs and posters. We also designed a ltd edition B2 art print to give out to their customers. The poster itself is designed to show off the printers craft, and their new B2 press.

- Identity for a London-based digital content/production company. 3angrymen commissioned us to completely overhaul their brand. Alongside a new marque (a bracketing device based on a screen) we devised a dynamic system of patterning that can be used in a never-ending combination of ways enabling the team to continually look fresh. A full stationery set (multi-use A4 sheet, business cards, address labels with accompanying templates + bespoke envelopes) was designed for maximum effectiveness whilst keeping print costs to a minimum. A website with full client CMS was also designed (launching soon), bringing the full package into line with the new look & feel.

- Identity for producer/mixer/all round über-music talent Chris Allen. Chris commissioned us to give him an identity and voice. A big part of the brief was to up his profile on the web, somewhere he could archive his vast catalogue of music projects. Special considerations were given to iPad/iPhone formatting, and optimisation of audio and video. We designed an iconic monographic marque based on sound-waves which was then applied to all communication including a simple business card.
