Study with us and see what you could be!
The students at the Lowestoft Sixth Form college open day loved the badges we created! There was much laughter and swapping of badges after they randomly picked one out of a large perspex box which read, Study with us and see what you could be….

Saw the inimitable Adam Buxton do his Bug show in Norwich this week, him being silly and showing some crazy music videos. A brilliant Spike Jonze effort for Arcade Fire, The Suburbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Euj9f3gdyM. My favourite was Everything Everything – photoshop handsome, 50 different animators took a few frames of greenscreen footage of the band each to do whatever they want with. I could watch it on a loop! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6udfNIzRUX0

We have taken delivery of a great piece of print for our client WREN . (WREN is a not-for-profit business that helps benefit the lives of people who live close to landfill sites by awarding grants for community, conservation and heritage projects. Click here to visit their site)
The WREN annual report has to highlight the vast number of projects they support whilst giving detailed financial information, to really provide an at a glance illustration we turned an A4 document into an A1 fold out. We used their fantastic visual archive to illustrate their work. They financed 390 projects last year to the tune of around £14M!
