We’ve been working with the Child Accident Prevention Trust on their Child Safety Week campaign site. We’ve updated their existing WordPress site, revamped the design and also updated the design of the CAPT Shop. The site was launched last week, helping to get this year’s Child Safety Week campaign off to a flying start.

We’re really excited to be working with ITAD to create their new brand identity and website. To get  the project off to a flying start we ran a branding and identity workshop at their Brighton offices to help both them and us get a better understanding of the project scope and goals.

The workshop was great fun to run, involving lots of cutting and sticking and lively discussion. Everyone was fully engaged and excited about the project and we were really impressed with the level of participation. Lots of interesting points were raised and we hope it enabled everyone involved to take ownership of the project from the start.

We are producing a series of two colour hand screen-printed posters to celebrate wave’s 25th year. Clare will be printing them on a weekly-ish basis at Hastings College and we’ve just got our hands on the first one.

Found in Newcastle on the floor of an old shopping mall.

We produced 100 prints, 50 each of two designs, which were then hand inked and printed using a Vandercook C15 Proof Press at Ink Spot Press, which is an open access print studio based in Brighton. Each poster is hand printed on recycled paper, stamped and numbered.

The phrase ‘ding dong’ was chosen as we felt it wasn’t overtly ‘Christmassy’ and the print could be displayed all year round.

Some of us associated it with ‘Ding Dong the witch is dead’ while the older ones among us immediately thought of the seductive Leslie Phillips’ catch phrase ‘I say, Ding Dong’. Feel free to let us know if you think of any more!

Shaving brush, opening night gift for that cast of Sweeney

Congratulations to Wendy, who just finished performing in Sweeney Todd at the Chichester Festival Theatre last weekend. We wish her the best of luck for when the production transfers to the West End after Christmas. And check out the gifts that Clare made the cast for the opening night!
