Cardiff University Data Innovation Accelerator

11 March 2019

The School of Computer Science & Informatics at Cardiff University contacted us when they were looking for an agency to work with them on their ‘Data Innovation Accelerator’ project. We were chosen to design and create a report template which could be revised and edited for 80 external organisations who would be involved in the project. Each report would generate unique information, and so needed to be easily editable by staff at the department. We created the editable template in MSWord which allowed the client the accessibility they needed whilst ensuring we adhered to the University’s strict brand guidelines.

From websites to woodwork…

21 February 2019

We enjoyed the surprise February sunshine this week when we got to spend a day working outdoors on a project for Coed Cadw/The Woodland Trust. Our client needed a variety of materials to help them facilitate an event at their national head office. These included roll up banners, printed materials and… a wooden fingerpost! Our woodwork skills were put to the test and we had great fun building the prop which helped our client have a successful day.

New website offers online counselling service

12 January 2019

We have recently completed a new website for Horizon, an organisation offering sexual violence support services in south Wales. Horizon wanted to offer an online counselling and appointment booking service. We worked alongside them to design and create the resource they needed. Building a robust site which gave the client the ability to manage their online services through a bespoke CMS system, as well as being a welcoming and easy to use site for their service users was of primary importance. We are delighted to see the site being used successfully by both.

Someone recently contacted us asking “do you do Christmas cards? I need to send some branded cards to my clients and contacts this year”.

And that started us thinking…

Yes, it makes sense to send a Christmas card to clients and contacts, everyone loves to receive season’s greetings, but what about the rest of the year? What should our caller have been doing to make sure their organisation and services remained noticeable all year round?

In the spirit of the forthcoming season of goodwill, here’s our top 12 tips to ensure that whatever your sector, your communications are always building relationships and creating connections. More

Generation Z Infographics

3 September 2018

The Federation of Small Businesses needed a set of graphics to highlight 10 key features of a campaign about Generation Z (those born after 2000) and entrepreneurship. The research from the University of South Wales focuses on the next generation of entrepreneurs and how they are different from the generations that have gone before them. The graphics had to work individually and as a set and be suitable for online and social media use, whilst keeping within the organisation’s corporate guidelines.

The client told us: “This looks fantastic! Thank you so much – it’s exactly what I was hoping for.”

Bringing the Outside In

21 June 2018

We are delighted to have completed installation of new decoration for the Woodland Trust’s Wales offices. Full-height wall graphics featuring seasonal treescapes now decorate each room and these are complimented by unique signage which will feature timber from Welsh estates. The project also included the design and installation of branded office furniture and a contemporary hot desk space.

The client told us: “I would like to add my congratulations to you all for a brilliant job done within the challenging deadline that I set, so many thanks to you all. It looks fabulous and an office I will be proud to show visitors and my colleagues from outside Wales.”

Challenging Infographics for the European Commission

8 May 2018

Science Made Simple wanted more than just infographics for their latest “Food from the Oceans” campaign. Based around research from the European Commission’s Group of Chief Scientific Advisors about sourcing more food from the oceans, the project required an undersea “colouring in” scene for a factsheet and a printable classroom poster to get school children more interested in the subject. Also required was an information leaflet with a number of complex infographics which was an interesting challenge to work on.

The client told us: “They look absolutely brilliant! I think that the work you have produced is better than imagined and everyone is very very happy.”

A Visit to the Design Museum

17 April 2018

It was lovely to take time out after a client meeting in London to visit the new Design Museum. The stunning new development on High Street Kensington is something to behold with both permanent and temporary exhibitions exploring the history of design. We visited the thought-provoking “Hope to Nope: Graphics and Politics 2008-18” as well as the permanent “Designer – Maker – User” display where it was interesting to find out more about the thought processes of the world’s greatest designers. Our favourite was the display wall of product design classics including telephones, record players, clocks and computers. The point being that we now carry all of these with us thanks to them being incorporated into a single pocket-sized device.
