Stylish and GRACEful

When Yorke Dance Project needed their tour print and programme designed, who better than the company who has already given them their website, and brand identity. The job required a six sided leaflet, A4 and A3 posters, an e-flyer, gala performance invitations, and the performance programme. This was a very creative job, with good photographic assets to work with! The tour marketing deadline loomed and we got the posters and flyers out thanks to a fantastic print job from Heron Press in Westbury.

The programme itself was a much more complicated set up, with a lot of information to be included in as little space as possible to keep print costs down. The final product ran to 10 A4 spreads – printed double sided A4, stapled in the middle. The programme was printed on silk paper that looked and felt stylish and up to date. The company are about to forge ahead with 2010′s rehearsals so look out for a new look to their site.

Million Prisoners

Now this website is something else…if we do say so ourselves: our very first website for a political organisation/charity/lobby group.

A simple idea – selling a million pixels on some specially commissioned drawings by political satirist Steve Bright; and in the process gathering messages from people who want to make a protest to the Labour Government. There’s some shopping to do as well!

Steve Bright’s 1997

Visitors to the site are invited to join the prisoners by purchasing a ‘hypothetical’ pixel and leaving their messages to Labour. Each message can be viewed on the site and form part of the tagclouds (which highlight the most important words from peoples’ messages), eventually to be delivered to No.10 a week before the next general election.

The idea was brought to us by David Barrett, an artist and very disappointed Labour supporter, who wanted an elegant structure and funky-yet-retro design for the website. The brief included an ecommerce element so that the ‘prisoners’ can buy hoodies and T shirts as easily as possible. We hope they reach their targets – so if you’re a disgruntled labour supporter, why not pop on over to Million Prisoners and do something about it!
