News and Design Inspiration
Simpson’s is a well established as one of Aberdeen’s top hotels and finest restaurants. They recently approached us to design a new sales brochure pack which reflected the quality and style of the hotel as well as the variety of services and accommodation options they offer. See more of the project here.
We were delighted to be asked to guest design a T-shirt for Danish proprietor of designer loveliness Superfancy. Here is the finished design which is now available to order in a variety of colours and sizes here. Thank to Søren at Superfancy for the opportunity and were excited to see some finished Tee’s arrive at the studio.
Here is a second set of images taken whilst on a recent trip to Pisa, Florence and Lucca. This set consist mostly of the beautiful old Italian buildings, doorways and in particular lots of lovely bikes leaning against rustic italian walls like the ones above. We are thinking of compiling a photgraphic book using some of these shots, so watch this space. See the full set here.
We have just uploaded some shots taken whilst on a recent trip to Tuscany to the studio Flickr. This first set was taken at Pisa Marina in March, it wasn’t typical beach weather but the cold day did provide some beautifully still and desaturated shots of a beach during the winter months. See the full set here.
There has been plenty happening of late hence the lack of posts but we thought we would update you with some news… we have now fully moved in to the new studio view more photos here and are delighted to announce that Mike Sullivan of Mister will be moving in to share the space as of next month. Our new address is Effektive, Suite 1/1, 6 Dixon Street, Glasgow G14AX. The studio is just off St.Enoch square (In building shared with GGA) and is no stranger to design having been the former home of our friends Graphical House. We will no doubt be warming the old girl with a few new studio drinks soon. Watch this space! We have also been busy getting a new studio credentials PDF ready so if you would like to receive one please email studio@effektivedesign.co.uk.
We were delighted to be selected to contribute an illustration (Sneek peek above) to the upcoming project ‘Memories’ by Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA). Cancer is such a pervasive killer these days that few of us go through life untouched by the disease. DAHRA decided to do something about it by launching the Memories project and the outcome will be a beautiful art book and exhibition. Proceeds from the sales of Memories will go to the charity Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. Find out more about the project here
We have recently joined the steadily growing designer / fixed gear cliché by purchasing this vintage Raleigh single speed conversion. She is a working project and will be receiving a fair bit of attention and new parts over the coming weeks including some re-created 60’s Raleigh vinyls. We will keep you updated with her progress. Now back to some design posts…
