Writers’ Centre Norwich bid for UNESCO City of Literature status.

Norwich boasts literary heritage dating back over 900 years. Writers’ Centre Norwich are keen to ensure the City gains the international recognition it deserves, and are making a case for UNESCO City of Literature status.

Writers’ Centre Norwich requested their comprehensive and detailed argument be a work of art in itself, so we created an innovative document that would both impress the judges and satisfy financial constraints. We utilised three economic paper stocks for a range of textures, and French folded pages containing spreads of full bleed imagery to ensure the strict page count was met. Finally, the document and supporting appendix were packaged in hand screen printed wrapping paper and dispatched to Paris for judging.

We would like to wish all at Writers’ Centre Norwich the best of luck with the UNESCO City of Literature bid. You can find more images on the Writers’ Centre Norwich portfolio entry.

CIM East of England start the year with a new visual identity.

With the advent of a new year, The Chartered Institute of Marketing East of England tasked us with branding their 2012 conference series, including the creation of on and off-line communications.

The CIM East of England conference series is a prominent event in the marketer’s calendar, featuring lectures from a range of experts and an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals. CIM East of England have an impressive line up for 2012, including speakers from the BBC and Wolff Olins.

We chose to embrace the impact of CIM trademark deep red coupled with iconography reflecting every aspect of such an event, from the speakers and their topics to networking and the mandatory consumption of coffee. We developed icons for functional information too, such as dates, locations and social media links.

You can find out more about the CIM East of England Conferences on their website, and follow @CIM_East  for the latest news.

An A to Z of St George’s, Colegate.

We have a bit of a thing for typography here at The Click, so when our creative director, Bobby, happened across the incredible hand carved letterforms of the local St George church, an idea was born.

The beautiful lettering found on stone ledgers throughout the church served as inspiration for an A to Z of the church and its history. Each unique letter forms the title of a story, anecdote, or interesting detail to be found within St George’s. Members of the congregation were invited to contribute to the publication by writing individual sections. The book is illustrated with monochrome images of chosen letterforms.

The book is designed to be welcoming and informative, suitable for casual visitors, regular churchgoers, and even keen typophiles. An A to Z of St George’s is available for £10 through the church, contact details of which can be found here. Proceeds go to the upkeep of the building.

We are pleased to note Grafik Magazine, an international design publication, and Eight:48 have both featured the project. You can find a more detailed look at An A to Z of St George’s on the Projects page.

The 2012 Shadwell Stud stallion brochure.

Shadwell Stud are celebrating ten years of support for equestrian art. The 2012 stallion brochure has been designed to pay tribute to this continuing passion.

The brochure itself makes reference to art gallery monographs, placing emphasis on the beauty of movement. For the images within, we employed an equine artist and commissioned a range of original works to accompany photos of the Shadwell stallions in action.

The cover features textured stock to evoke the feel of canvas, and is finished with an embossed, gold foil blocked version of the Shadwell logo. A range of premium quality papers are used throughout the brochure, with full colour reproductions of original artworks on the main pages, and short leaf pages carrying technical specifications of each stallion.

We will have more shots of the brochure up on our Facebook portfolio in the coming weeks.
