2014 Calendar Celebrating Classic Chair Designs

The 2014 calendar featuring classic chair designs, from Pickle Design

We are very proud to unveil our 2014 calendar, an A2 poster celebrating great chair design. Every year we like to design a calendar for our clients - nothing standard of course - but a chance to show off the Pickle Design style, and hopefully create something our clients want to keep.

Close up of the 2014 calendar design

There are always challenges we have to face, but it is quite fun trying to find a cost effective way to produce them, that doesn’t loose impact. Our 2014 calendar uses just two colours, red and blue, but layers them in opacities to create bold representations of iconic chair designs.

The typography is clean and simple with a retro bent. Usually I draw my illustrations by hand and then scan them in, but for this particular project I had a very clear style in my mind, so I used Adobe Illustrator. I looked at these pieces of furniture as shapes, and made them up in shades and segments to build, hopefully, striking representations.

The calendars are available from the Pickle Design website here, cost only covers postage.

Classic chair designs calendar for 2014

The idea now is to hand these out to clients and businesses we would like to work with. We have also designed some thank you boxes of fudge to match with the calendar design. The office looks very colourful with all this bright printing around!

Pickle's Three Year Anniversary

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...
