Official opening of Menston Hall development

I was kindly invited by client Incommunities to attend the official opening of Menston Hall today, a £2.7 million housing project on the north west outskirts of Leeds.

The Menston Hall development comprises a full refurbishment of the existing hall and two new buildings which together provide 30 two-bedroom apartments. 17 of the new build homes are released through a shared ownership scheme, and five let exclusively to people over 55 years of age. The main hall has been converted into six apartments for private sale and two for sale through the Government’s Homebuy Direct scheme.

Earlier in the year, Aldred Design produced marketing literature for Incommunities to promote the development.

Two new ads

Two new advertisements recently completed - the first for Australian shopfitters Whytehall and the second for Hong Kong based Contract Dispute Consultants.

Australian shopfitters website goes live

The new website for Melbourne-based shopfitting company Whytehall Services has recently been launched. Working for client 20m, Aldred Design produced the visual design interface and the site was then completed by web company Hindsight. A series of advertisements (above) to promote the new website has also been designed and these will appear in various Australian retail and shopfitting publications in the coming weeks.

The new website forms part of a complete rebranding exercise for the company which has also involved the design and production of a new literature pack, including a 12-page brochure and 16 case study sheets.

Brochure pack for moorland services company

A marketing pack comprising four separate 6-page service brochures and a company profile, all 'half-Canadian' wiro bound into an outer cover has recently been completed for Dinsdale Moorland Services Limited.

The North Yorkshire based company specialises in contracting in difficult terrains and environmentally sensitive locations and provides a host of services as diverse as moorland management, GPS mapping and design and construction of mountain bike trails. Each of the four service brochures reduces in width for each successive document and slots into a pocket in the outer folder, thus revealing all titles in an indexed format. The brochures cover the following areas: Habitat Restoration & Management; Surveying & Consultancy Services; Infrastructure Services; and Mountain Bike Trail Design & Build.

Makeover for Nevis Computers

Nevis Computers Ltd recently commissioned Aldred Design to refresh the company's visual identity whilst still retaining the main elements of its recognised mountain icon and text style. The new design features a redrawn mountain icon with modified logo text underneath and the whole contained within a neat roundel. The new design has been applied to business cards and a company folder which use metallic silver ink and feature a die-cut radiused corner to create a smart and professional image.

Cover-up Story

A series of sign boards have been commissioned by Harden Park Homes near Bingley to disguise an enclosure on their luxury residential park home site which contains a number of LPG tanks. Working for client Mathew Imison, Aldred Design produced designs for the run of boards which were then erected around the enclosure. In addition, a 1.5 x 1 metre lectern-style information board was created to provide information for passing walkers and visitors about the history and nature of Goit Stock Valley, in which the award winning park homes site is located.

Brochure pack for Australian Shopfitters

Recently completed for Melbourne client 20m is a corporate brochure, project case studies and presentation folder for Australian shopfitting company Whytehall Services.

All design, copywriting and artwork is by Aldred Design. Whytehall has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland and has clients including Telstra, Bankwest and Mothercare. Earlier this year, also working with client 20m, Aldred Design created the new identity for Whytehall Services which has been applied to all the company's stationery and signage. A new company website will be unveiled shortly.
