  Commonwood Vineyard Logo and RebrandingCommonwood Vineyard will be 20 years old in 2022. For 19 of those years, Commonwood will have used a watercolour dragonfly as their emblem, abundant in their rural setting; they asked for the dragonfly to be referenced in the new branding. However, our finding was that if we focus on the wings, it looks like we've pulled one apart. If we stick with an illustration, it resembles Victorian anatomy drawings, so no.

  Cycling RevolutionsA project with cycling at its centre and the changes that cycling can bring. It’s not about fitness, fashion or fads but people, their lifestyles, and the causes they believe in. To get the full effect of the difference cycling can really make, you need to feel it; you need to connect; you need stories. The outcome is an exhibition with a focus on change. The show is a series of rooms, each with its own story and a means for visitors to connect to those stories and take them home.

  Shrewsbury Market Hall: A Day in the LifeA journalistic ‘current history’ of life inside the love-it-or-hate-it 1960s brutalist style Market Hall building in Shrewsbury. A record of the day-to-day from inside the 1965 landmark with reflections and opinions of the people there.

  Oppo: Emergency Services Self-Help AppWinner: Creative Conscience 2020 Award We looked into the issues faced by our emergency services, our initial focus is the police service in particular. We found that “leaflets get binned”, and “emails just wind you up”, and raising public awareness of police mental health could create targeting in some situations.

  Public OpinionEveryone says they love the town of Shrewsbury, we wanted to find out how true it was, just curious. So we surveyed it for opinions about the place, just asking two simple questions: What's the one good thing about the town? What's the one bad thing about the town? We wanted people to be curious too.
