We are very pleased to have been approached to develop a new brand and online presence for award winning high end jewellery photographer Andrew Neilson.

Andrew has a reputation as one of the leading jewellery photographers in the UK, creating flawless images for high end jewellery brands around the world.

His work is beautifully executed and demands a high level of skill, experience and expertise to produce.

We’d been waiting for an excuse to use a cool new 3D feature called ‘Cloth Dynamics’.

This effect works by simulating the density and gravitational characteristics of a piece of cloth covering a chosen object in a frame by frame sequence, it’s time consuming but the results are well worth it.

Whilst researching Graffiti art as part of a theme for a new brand I came across the work of German Graffiti Artist Mad C.
I particularly like the Urban & Graffiti Gallery ‘La Grille’.

A sneak preview at Ispiri Wheels product photography for their new website currently in development.

We are very pleased with the final images, a lot of preparation and time went into production (especially lighting), showcasing the high quality and finish of these premium wheels.

Culshaw Bell’s existing reputation had been built upon the unique partnership of the founders who combine their skills as master craftsmen, interior designers and colour specialists.

They are passionate about their work and these highly skilled, creative and artistic people have produced some of the finest bespoke kitchens on the market today.

We wanted to harness their values making them central to the brand reposition.
We reinterpreted the founders’ signatures to culminate in their new identity that would reflect the unique qualities of the brand and partnership.

Great care was taken to make the identity look both natural and artistic, reflecting the brand’s values. The challenge was to use 2 different signatures that would balance aesthetically and yet feel individual at the same time.

We have just completed a brand reposition for luxury alloy wheel manufacturers Ispiri Wheels and are currently developing a new bespoke ecommerce website.

A new wheel design is also launching later in 2012.

Below is a pre-production sample of a new centre cap we designed.

We are very pleased to have been appointed branding partners for Culshaw Bell bespoke kitchen manufacturers and have just completed our first photo shoot of their latest kitchen the ‘Prescott’.

A new brand, website and brochure will be launched later in the year.

Letterpress printing is a labour intensive process that has been around since the 15th century invented by Johannes Gutenberg and combines texture, colour and depth.

We really like the unique effect this method creates and can’t wait to use it on future projects.

A really nice calligraphic style font I stumbled upon ‘Aphrodite Slim’ on a Marks & Spencer food promotion for Christmas 2011.

We have produced a series of ‘concept sketch style’ illustrations for Selini Bespoke Jewellery for their ongoing jewel creations.

Working with existing design sketches by jewellery designer Rob Girling we wanted to enhance these original concepts and use them as a theme throughout their marketing.

It’s been nice to dust off the old markers and pencils from my uni days and get stuck in!
