Second Draft

Some stationery to show you! The work in our studio is very diverse, I think that is because of all the wonderfully interesting companies we work with in Cornwall. Large or small I really enjoy meeting new clients and sussing out what they need.  Recently we met with bespoke carpenter, Nick Paul Williams, who had a refreshingly creative approach to his joinery. We are building him a website as we speak, but first we started with the brand. He already had an emblem of an oak leaf and was keen on keeping the colours of gold and blue. Our challenge was to move this logo on to become a brand that rightly represented this young craftsman.  Reducing his name to NPW and including 'bespoke' helped to communicate the personal aspect of Nick's work. Also to make clear that he can turn his hand to all aspects of joinery we picked out three key elements; carpentry, joinery and construction.  We also provided Nick with a separate element that he could use as a stamp o...

You may remember we recently wrote about some business cards we have created for new business, Camel Self-Storage, well, we just completed their stationery and leaflet design. Being a new company the clients had a lot they wanted to communicate, wanting to show the full extent of their potential. So with the DL leaflet we chose stock imagery that would visually point the viewer to all the different services they offer. The back of the leaflet was used to help explain the process and to show the location. I stuck clearly to the defined brand colours, and feel we created an eye catching design. I have also been working on some advertising for the company, so watch out for that in local publications. With their stationery, the clients wanted to keep the information's presentation traditional. I had presented them with some more contemporary options, but the simplicity of the designs included in this post worked better for their target market. I am pleased with the final resul...

We have just added the stationery we completed for Brookfields Bed and Breakfast to the portfolio on our website. We designed a complete set of stationery for the comfortable and welcoming B&B accommodation. The business card was posted on this blog a little while ago. The letterhead and compliment slip were designed to work together and sit nicely alongside their website. They carry the branding we created for Ron and Robbie Caswell, and were printed on uncoated stock, giving them a pleasant feel when used. To see more of the work we have completed for Brookfields, take a look at the other posts from previous months here, Brookfields ...

We have just reprinted the business cards we designed for Rock Water Taxi last year, a new run for the new season. These cards carry the colours and design we set for them in their other advertising literature. These are full colour, double sided cards, matt laminated to give a needed durability on board the water taxi. You will also find them in pubs and restaurants in both Rock and Padstow, the two destinations of the vessel. They work alongside the DL flyers and website we produced for them also. It was built by GB Smith and Son, boat builders in Rock with a long history of high quality design and construction. We have recently started work on rebranding and print for them as well. Keep and eye out to see what is set on.
