We were asked to create a design voluntarily for the Pate’s Grammar School yearbook 2009. Working with the Yearbook Committee, individual and original designs were created for every single page using QuarkXpress 8.

The design process took around half a year to complete, with the comments coming back from the year being incredibly positive and complimentary.

We also negotiated with the school to go with new printers, with the previous price being £27.50 for a book with around a third of the pages in colour, to go to a company that printed the book at a price of £20.00 in full colour throughout and foil blocking on the front and spine of the book.

Some pictures of the students with the books are shown below. Samples can be provided upon request.

The National Trust approached us to create a visual identity, the website design and printed media design for a volunteering festival in the South West. We created a vibrant identity to link with the age of the participants going to the festival.

Below you can see some pictures from the festival:

We created a website for the yearbook submissions for the school year 2008-2009. The website was designed in such a way that it could be refreshed and used time and time again with other yeargroups. An administration area was also created, and a help feature was added a few months later, to answer some of the questions the students had.

By the submission deadline, the site had received over 1,200 quotes, 600 stories and 1,300 photo submissions, with people giving very complimentary feedback on the website.

The site had zero downtime and was found to be a very secure design that the students were able to access from both school and home. Teachers were also able to log in and monitor what was being submitted.

A news area on the website also allowed the Yearbook Committee to quickly and easily inform all the students about anything they needed to know, using a built in news system.
