This section gives you a snapshot of what's currently going on in the heads of all those who sail on the good ship PKD.
Intended to stir the soul and encourage further investigation it's always worth coming back to see what's flicking our switches.
It’s July, the World Cup may be coming to an end but now it’s time for a proper sport. To co-incide with the start of the Tour De France we have launched milltagcc.com, our website selling unique cycling jersey - each one is produced by leading artists, designers and cycling enthusiasts in strictly limited editions. Allez! Allez!
Something about the cover story images in today’s Guardian looked vaguely familiar…it’s 1997 all over again - cross processed, colour saturated images, the dying days of the britpop era and our small part in this musical footnote. For the Guardian article the technique is utilised to a far more devastating effect, see the full gallery here
With the continued success of the Brasserie Blanc brand we were asked to produce a guidelines document to ensure consistency as the business expands. In keeping with the current aesthetic, we created a brand ‘ cookbook’, a form of how-to manual to recreate the BB experience. It’s in final production now but here’s a preview of the cover.
After many weeks of design and production, the mamanblanc.com retail site is now live and open for business. With over 150 products currently on sale, it’s a fully content managed e-commerce site that we are particularly proud of. The back-end is powered by wordpress and the payment system run through paypal.
A new website for this restaurant and wine bar in Marylebone. Small but perfectly formed, they have another site in Kensington due to open later in the year. With the Giro d’italia just started and the World Cup next month we might find ourselves visiting here more than is strictly necessary.
A new website for healthcare provider Care Management Group (CMG). The main focus of the site is to provide individual information on over 100 of their support service locations, accessed via a full searchable database and interactive googlemap. The site content is fully editable by a custom built content management system.
One of a series of promotional postcards for this new cafe / restaurant in Tunbridge Wells, opening in June 2010.
Great article in the Guardian about the devices used by restaurants, and by us designers, to attract customers to their more profitable dishes and distract them from the low-margin items. Truly, a dark art.
we will mostly be working on…a new ‘good food’ pub branding and concept development for 3 pubs in Surrey…a new cafe/bakery identity in Tunbridge Wells…a new restaurant and hotel brand in Reading…web design and development for the ‘Maman Blanc’ online shop…delivery of final website and CMS for a healthcare provider.
Happy New Year.
