Second Draft

Wadebridge Bathroom Studio asked us recently to create two posters to promote a special offer they were running. We took their existing brand and applied it to the large format printing, ensuring that it both conveyed the message clearly, and maintained the high standard of their business. Marie was able to give the A1 posters a fresh look without losing the integrity of the WBS brand. The posters were printed digitally on 200gsm stock, full colour. The turnaround time was important in order to take advantage of the time scale of their, and so they were produced very quickly.

Joseph Bouzaglo has created the above image to be used as both a Twitter background and as a poster design. He created a minimal piece that is now available from the Pickle Design website as a free Twitter background, or to be bought as a high quality A3 poster. Prices include postage for delivery in either the UK or worldwide. There are also a number of other designs on the Pickle site by Emma Julian and Marie Lawley. The style of their work is quite different in it is interesting to see how it relates to their other design projects.

This years calendar was an opportunity for us to pour our ideas into a project for ourselves and our clients. The design needed to appeal to our varied audience so we decided on the image of a tree, in keeping with some of our existing branding. The intention was to show the seasons of the year moving around one tree. The imagery ended up being fairly abstract, but there was enough detail to illustrate the idea. We used tidy typography alongside handwritten words to reflect our friendly, yet restrained style. The palette selected is a neutral one, but we picked out those all important Saturday and Sunday dates in a pillar box red. We then paired the calendar with a matching red envelope and sent them out into the wintry weather to our clients and interested businesses for the next year. Marie Lawley

There are some new additions to the Pickle Design Shop, a range of poster designs available to order. The images on this page are taken from the posters, but take a look at the shop to see the full range. Emma has created the majority of the designs in the shop, so we asked her what her thoughts were: "We have produced a selection of posters for you all to purchase! Marie and I often go for a stroll down the country lane near Pickle to break up the computer dominated day, and this is what inspired me. I titled this collection 'Summer Stroll' so expect spindly wild flowers, twisted branches and warm throbbing hues. The posters are available in A4 or A3 and are the perfect accompaniment to any wall. Marie has also designed a beautiful poster with her sweet style of cut-out illustration, 'tea party' in pink and grey."
