Projects
- Here.Here is an estate agent with a difference — with an HQ in the financial district of canary wharf in London. They offer a multi-cultural, bespoke high-end service with banking style attention to detail. Our thinking went from name creation and positioning, right through to printed designs and web executions.
- S Magazine Issues 7 - 10S Magazine is a photographic / art / illustration journal with an open attitude to it’s subject matter. Allowing contributers to exhibit more provocative personal work with little censorship. Each issue is contributed, for no fee, by respected names such as Rankin, Warwick Saint, Jonathon Ellery, and included editorial features with Juliette Lewis, Lykke Li and Anthony & The Johnsons. Tasked with re-designing issues 7, and continuing until issue 10, we approached each contribution with respect, presenting the images in full with pace and space to breath. The editorial and typography becoming part of a smart, stripped back ‘invisible’ framework. With breakout typographic ‘sculptures’ on each title page.
- S Mag / Banjosea TypefaceS Magazine is a photographic / art / illustration journal with an open attitude to it’s subject matter. Allowing contributers to exhibit more provocative personal work with little censorship. Each issue is contributed, for no fee, by respected names such as Rankin, Warwick Saint, Jonathon Ellery, and included editorial features with Juliette Lewis, Lykke Li and Anthony & The Johnsons. We developed a custom typeface named Banjosea, with 3 width types that could be mixed together playfully to morph and move as if also posing for the camera – alongside the imagery.
