Camel Self-Storage

-

I just released that we hadn't mentioned the Camel Self-Storage website on our blog! A little while ago now we created a website for the local self-storage firm to go with the logo, business cards, stationery and flyer design we had completed.

They provide secure self storage in Cornwall, a way to keep all manner of belongings in all sorts of quantities. I wanted to have a design that was quite blocky, substantial and reflecting robust nature of their business. The brand colours are yellow and black and I added in shades of grey and blue to lift the palette. I used illustration coupled with a photoshoot we took.

The tool bar has an interlocking effect and all content fits securely in boxes around the page. The phone number is prominent on the Home as getting people to contact them was the primary objective.

Each page is laid out clearly with subheadings and paragraphs in small chunks to keep it all easy to read and navigate. I have also illustrated a map on the contact page highlighting their location.

We built this site to work well with search engines and have included a Twitter feed on the website as well as Twitter and Facebook buttons.

I feel the site is quite successful and the clients were pleased with the design. So pretty much whatever you have to store, they can house it!

New Branding for Cornish Fudge Company

Buttermilk Shop wanted a fresh contemporary look for their Cornish fudge company, but essential in the brief was ensuring that their primary market was not alienated during the change. This is a challenge we face with many projects, as the years spent building up a customer base are not to be taken lightly. We came up with a clean typographic solution which could be placed onto different colours to reflect different flavours on the packaging. This is accompanied by a small line drawing, reflecting the Cornish coastline. The vector image is key to the connection between old and new, a crisp modern style of illustration representing the long tradition of Cornish fishing ports where the Buttermilk shops are located.

Brand design has moved in new directions in recent years, and with the advent of mobile internet, promises to develop into ever new unexpected formats. Twitter has snowballed in recent months, and continuing our clients' visual identity here is also important. Above is the custom Twitter background that we created for Sean Maher's Twitter feed. It carries his brand for the charity bike ride, Riding Out The Recession, where he will be heading from Cornwall to Cape Town. It carries artwork from the website we are currently putting the finishing touches on, and his new logo. Make sure you keep an eye on his progress, we will put updates on our blogs and Sean will be both twittering and blogging as he travels.
