Studio Stonehenge

Studio has been recently commissioned to produce trophies for Rapid Enterprise Competition 2009. And here they are.

We are very pleased with the outcome. Studio also created the branding, work books and certificates for an event which is similar to The Apprentice but for budding entrepreneurs in schools. Over 100 students took part from 8 schools and were mentored along the way by product designers and various work shops at Hethel Engineering.

The awards ceremony is at the Open venue in Norwich, Friday 10th July and Studio is looking forward to seeing the work of the winning schools. Nice to know that no one has been fired though.

Beyond the Wizards Sleeve

This is a cool part of the job. Having worked with our client on their latest design project, finally seeing it on press for one final approval is a thrill.

And the project in question is the 'Made in the University of East Anglia' booklet - from briefing, presentation, design and sign-off, it's been a pleasure to work on. You can tell that Studio is pleased with it. This was a good opportunity to document its time on press. No special finishes like varnishes or embossing - just good old CMYK, thus saving our client money to get it printed on a cool stock like Naturalis. The final booklet has a feel of lasting quality.







It's great to hear the loud print presses and the smell of the ink in the air. We maybe in the early years of a new age of digitaI, but I think print will always have a place, because we like to engage with an object and experience what the designer and client intended. In years to come it will occupy the same place in our hearts as vinyl records and will continue to surprise.

Many thanks to Jane and Jamie at Gallpen.
