Little darlings...

Just a quickie in the lead up to Christmas. Two DVDs designed for Saville Creative Communications for two local primary school Christmas nativity productions. Time to dig out those tea towels and cuddly lambs, I guess!

The sun shines (almost!) for Hebden Sports 2008

Saville Creative Communications has enlisted the services of Aldred Design to produce design and artwork for the cover and disc of its latest DVD film of the Hebden Sports 2008 event. Held annually for well over 100 years close to the small village of Hebden, near Grassington, it is a community day attracting not only local residents but people from across the region who come to compete in the well known Fell Race.

Inevitably there have been some changes over the years but the Sports still keeps its traditional local character with children's egg-&-spoon, three-legged and sack races, as well as flat races for all ages, and of course, the tug-of-war. Sideshows like Bat-the-Rat, Knock-down-Ginger, quoits and skittles add to the fun. The Sports always takes place on the August Bank Holiday Monday from 12.30 - 4.30pm, whatever the weather!

The DVD film covers the entire day's events from setting up the competition field to the prize giving, and captures the fun and community spirit that pervades throughout. The DVD is available through Saville Creative Communications or by visiting the BOFRA website.

Promoting the British Blinds franchise opportunity

A series of nine display panels have been designed for British Blinds to feature on it's stand at the 3-day National Franchisee Exhibition, starting on 2nd October at the NEC in Birmingham. Measuring 946 x 2340mm five of the panels show potential franchisee candidates pondering typical questions such as "Looking for the right opportunity to prove yourself?" and "Not getting anywhere in your present job?". The remainder of the panels focus on the company's extensive range of products, performance materials and innovative motorised and remote-control applications.

In addition, a Franchise Opportunities Prospectus pack, aimed at attracting potential new franchisees, contains important information and performance statistics about the company. Featuring similar imagery to the exhibition panels, the Prospectus pack will also be available on the stand.

Site security leans towards Towers

Press advertisements for Construction News and Contract Journal have been produced by Aldred Design for new client Camwatch. As the largest CCTV monitoring company in the UK, Camwatch was keen to promote the benefits of its TOWER system, a rapidly deployable, portable, telescopic CCTV monitoring mast, specially suited to construction sites or other locations where fixed surveillance or security monitoring equipment is rendered impractical. In addition to offering superior site monitoring features, when compared with traditional 'man-guarding' the Camwatch Tower can also deliver significant annual cost savings.

The press campaign will be supported by a 'skyscraper' spot advertising campaign, set to run on the Building website from late April.
