WISE infographics

Another batch of infographics produced for client WISE Campaign.

Bauhinia identity

A logo has been created for Bauhinia Sandbanks, a luxury holiday home on the Sandbanks peninsula, near Poole, in Dorset. A number of options were presented but the client settled on the image of the bauhinia blossom (the national flower of Hong Kong), dissolving into reflected ripples of water. The logo has been applied to stationery and a website.

WW1 Exhibition

As part of the centenary commemorations of the start of the First World War, a series of 16 A0 informative display panels have been designed for client Saville Creative Communications. These formed the main focus of a 10 day exhibition at St Margaret's Hall in Horsforth, Leeds, that not only honoured and remembered those from the town who fought and died during the war, but also told of the role that Horsforth people played in sheltering Belgian refugees, how the town coped with food rationing, raised funds for the troops, made armaments in the local shell factory and how it honoured the dead after the war was over. Accompanying the exhibition was a set of workbooks (also designed by Aldred Design), aimed at local schoolchildren who attended the exhibition as part of their studies during the week leading up to Remembrance Sunday.

Two smaller information panels were also designed for permanent display adjacent to 'The Boulder Stone' on Stanhope Drive – an existing memorial to the 249 men and one woman from Horsforth who died.

The commemoration events and materials, largely funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery, also enabled a book and materials for a history trail to be produced.

Trend trekking

The Trend Trek involved visits to over 25 retail venues in central London to discover and experience state-of-the-art merchandising technology, cutting edge retail concepts. packaging and apps. Only thirty copies of the document were required which necessitated the use of digital printing - however, the document also needed to retain a 'top end', luxury feel for its users.
