Nella Marin's Unorthodox Business Card

-
Business Card Design
We have designed a business card for actress Nella Marin, pictured here. It has been a very considered project with us, Nella and her friend (and also our client) artist John O'Carroll, who created the swirl artwork and a 'NM' as Nella's initials.

Nella didn't want a standard business card and approached us to design her something that fit her personality and profession. She wanted it to take the viewer on a journey, and make sure they really have to work to find her details! She hasn't included her profession, so in someways this business card asks more questions then it answers. This air of mystery was exactly what she wanted.

Folding Business Cards
We worked with high quality local printers and used GS Smith paper which has a lovely cloth like texture in 'Pristine White', allowing the uncoated paper to contrast with the aubergine ink. The card has a fold giving interactivity and her contact details are presented in the arc of John's swoosh. The letters are organically ordered, the placement of each letter creates a friendly vibe that contrasts with the stark colours.

Pickle Design passed the three year milestone at the end of August, and we could not let it go by without marking the occasion. So Emma and Marie had the idea of taking advantage of the Camel Trail. We hired some bikes and rode the trail from Wadebridge to Padstow, remarkably between showers, although the wind did make the outward journey slightly more challenging (especially to our hair...). But we were spurred on by the thought of fish and chips when we got to our destination, and chose to sample some of Stein's. Marie brought her husband, Jai (above), along for the ride, and Emma invited her brother, Paul (below). The conversation was lively and ranged from our ubiquitous movie chat, a few moments contemplating Spurs' currently good progress in the league, and the astonishing scenery right on our doorstep. So that was three years and the fourth one looks to be even more interesting. We are just as keen to find challenging projects to work on, so feel free to contact us with ...

Camel Ski and Snow Flyers

The inside of the concertina fold Camel Snow flyer We thought we would show you some of our recent printing jobs for Camel Ski School who we have enjoyed working with for a number of years. The three DL flyers for Camel Ski School Initially they had an A4 folded to a third to promote the school, but as there is so much variety to their service chose to use three DL flyers which showcase key activities. They were distributed through the local region. The Camel Camps brochure cover The ski school, located in Rock, Cornwall, also runs camps for kids from the cities to make the most of outdoors activities and to teach them survival skills. The leaflets for the camps needed to work in a different way, they were to be sent to schools and needed to look eye-catching and dynamic. Inside pages of the Camel Camps flyer We thought the best format for this was a concertina fold leaflet. Each panel could then highlight a different aspect of what the team do and allow image...
