Woodbrooke Conference Brochure

Woodbrooke Conference Brochure

As part of our ongoing work with Woodbrooke we have redesigned their 2018 Events and Conferencing brochure. To fit in with the new branding, we created a clean and modern design with a heavy use of the bespoke photography taken of the beautiful Birmingham venue. We also took the opportunity to talk through with our clients the key messages which the brochure needed to communicate and where we saw the strengths of Woodbrooke. The result was a brochure structured to promote the many unique selling points of the venue as well as the text only cover which significantly moved away from the previous pre-rebrand version. The 16 page brochure also has a pocket at the back for additional inserts to be included so the brochure can be customised depending on the enquiry. You can see the full design here.

Want to talk about how we can help you reevaluate your key marketing messages or add a new take on your established brand? Do contact us.

Christ Church What’s On

Christ Church What’s On

The latest edition of the What’s On guide for Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, has just been released, covering the Summer 2018. We’ve been regularly designing the programme as part of our work with the Cathedral for the past few years as part of helping develop the identity and profile of the Cathedral as well as better promoting the events and activities they do. We’ve also been creating other resources for the education team there including Prayer Trails and information booklets to schools.

Launch of the Body Mind Spirit Partnership website

Launch of the Body Mind Spirit Partnership website

We have recently developed and built a new website for the Body Mind Spirit Partnership. The aim of the partnership is to link community groups focused on support for older people across Birmingham and the surrounding area. We created the website to promote the partner organisations and help their users access their services. The responsively designed website gives profiles to each partner organisation where they can log-in and update their own details, including an events and activities diary.

The University of Warwick Chaplaincy – Welcome to Warwick

The University of Warwick Chaplaincy – Welcome to Warwick

We were pleased to help design some promotional material for the University of Warwick Chaplaincy to hand out to new students across the university this past month. We designed a set of button badges which featured a series of well known sayings from different faiths mounted on a card which introduces the work of the Chaplaincy. We also designed some large format posters to promote the various events at the Chaplaincy welcoming people to Warwick University.

A new identity for St Peters Church, Coventry

A new identity for St Peters Church, Coventry

We have recently designed a new identity for St Peter’s Church in Coventry. The church was looking for a new identity that would show a community focused church with life and creativity at it’s heart. We created several versions of the identity so that it could be used flexibly across the many projects the church and church centre are involved in. We are looking forward to working with them more in the future.

Update: St Peter’s have recently created signage using the new identity. Very much like the results!

New website for students

New website for students

We have been working closely with the Student Christian Movement to create a set of resources for UK university students, including this new website for students. The latest project has just been launched, the Christian Student Guide, an information site full of articles in a lifestyle-blog style. Articles can be found via dynamic searches or by scrolling through the content, designed in a responsive tablet and mobile friendly format. The simple clean layout is matched with an easy to navigate structure. The Student Christian Movement are looking at a busy summer and start of the new academic year – we really enjoyed working on the project.
