The British Academy
We created a new publication and website for The British Academy in 2011. The Academy went through a multimillion pound renewal, reconfiguring the interior of its headquarters on Carlton House Terrace, uniting two individual Georgian properties in this elegant Nash designed terrace, overlooking the Mall. It is one of the most beautiful examples of architecture form the period in London.
We worked with the Academy's in-house marketing team to showcase the new enlarged facilities. The renewal encompasses the restoration of these elegant rooms and the introduction of new, state of the art event and conference facilities. The website was launched in January 2011. We've worked on a couple of updates since the launch to keep the site current, providing downloadable marketing materials.
The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and the social sciences. It is composed of nearly 900 distinguished scholars. From law to linguistics, psychology to philosophy, and economics to ethics, the Academy aims to inspire, recognise and support excellence across its disciplines.
Prestel Verlag
We designed House, a new book written by Philippa Lewis which showcases the extraordinarily rich variety of British Domestic Architecture. It is a fully illustrated survey of vernacular architecture spanning 500 years of housing in the British Isles, focusing on the detail and signature decorative styles of different architectural periods.
The new book is based on photographs drawn from the Edifice Photographic Library and published 2011 by Prestel, the Munich based publisher.
The Connection
2010's annual review for The Connection at St Martins shows how this well-known central London charity provides services for people, some of who are vulnerable who need to access services that alleviate different aspects of homelessness.
We designed the review around images provided by the Connection's staff and service users. The charity has an engaging and progressive creative programme, which we represented in an 8 page pull-out section of images created by service users based around the theme of ownership.
We have also reconfigured the header section of the home page template for their website so that it can load more temporary news led information and draw visitors to their latest campaign work.
Ajna Communications
Ajna is a new communications consultancy, taking a more tailored approach to the individual needs of clients across the cultural sector. The name Ajna references the name of the third eye and is considered the sixth primary chakra following Hindu tradition. It is thought to be the source of intuition.
Ajna's consultants apply their experience to a wide ranging portfolio of clients in Arts and Culture, Human Rights and International Development. They've worked within organisations internationally and are experienced at dealing with different protocols, acting on a deeper understanding of overcoming communication challenges within differing cultural contexts, reaching audiences quickly and effectively.
We created a new visual identity for this promising new consultancy. Without directly referencing the origin of the name we selected warmer, more natural colours and took a petal form that while not directly drawn from a particular religion or belief, is based upon an eastern decorative petal motif. The logotype underlines the consultancy's promise to be bold, strong and authentic.
Commonwealth Foundation
The second issue of the Commonwealth Foundation’s re-designed newsletter Commonwealth People was distributed May 2010. The new broadsheet format we developed is much more readable. There are articles about celebrating peace in Sri Lanka and how UNAIDS are taking the lead in dealing with social issues raised by HIV and AIDS in Senegal, Africa.
