Review of the year 2019
Posted by Nixon
Working on national projects and meeting new clients, we've had another exciting year in the studio.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan
We’ve been working with the Heligan team for 25 years now, creating various iterations of their website. This year, we designed, built and launched the latest version, which adopts the existing brand in a new and exciting way.
Our new showreel
Teaming up with Lightbox, we created a new showreel that offers a snapshot of our work, along with a taste of what happens day-to-day here in the studio.
Tresco Times 2019
It’s a publication with enduring popularity, and something our team loves creating. The sixth installment of Tresco Times features everything from ancient local legends to the island’s own gin.
H Foster
This year, we started working with H Foster: a leading national supplier of products to the chemical industry. From the foundations of core values and tone of voice to full visual identities, we’ve made a brand of more than 140 years stand out in today’s market, clearly defining the two sub-brands within it. Next year, we’ll be taking it even further by launching two new websites, so watch this space...
New work with long-standing clients
It’s always great to collaborate with our established clients on new projects. Following a major rebrand, the Luxury Family Hotels group asked us to build not only a main portal website, but also separate sites for each hotel.
We’ve also worked with award-winning holiday lettings agency Latitude50 on an ongoing basis, including producing a wonderfully creative Christmas card, with an original linocut design on the front and a specially written festive poem inside.
Ginsters
We loved seeing the branding we created for Ginsters being put into action. From an Airstream at the Royal Cornwall Show to a racing car in the British Touring Car Championships, the designs have been popping up all over the country.
Emily Nixon
We collaborated with Emily and her team on a brand refresh and a new ecommerce website.
From brand values to website building and search engine optimisation, we partnered up to create something that not only shows the individuality and artistry of Emily’s work, but also gives users the opportunity to browse, save and purchase products with ease. Take a look at the website here.
Newcomers
Our team has grown again this year, and we’ve welcomed two new faces to the studio. Miriam has joined us as our new Studio Coordinator, and with a degree in fine art, she’s the ideal person to organise our creative environment. Claire is fulfilling the new role of Business Development Manager, using her background in advertising and knowledge of business development to help our client base grow with us.
Merry Christmas
It’s almost time to power down for the festive period and begin the celebrations. Our last working day will be Monday 23 December, and we’ll be back in again on 6 January, so until then, a merry Christmas and very happy New Year from all of us.
