The 3D type book landed on our desk this morning and we're very pleased to be featured amongst some other design greats. The much-loved genre pieces we created for Ministry of Sound many moons ago grace the pages.
This was one of our first forays into 3D type, and as well as getting lots of press attention from Creative Review, it also caught the eye of some new clients over the years and encouraged them to work with us. Projects including Cadbury's Wispa campaign for Publicis and instore seasonal campaigns for hmv followed - the rest is history!
Nice one Stew!

Memories
Gemma Ballinger
Studio Output have been featured in a book called Memories. We join some great names from the world of design and illustration with all proceeds from sales of the book going to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre.
We were really pleased to be asked to take part in the project and worked with photographer Philip Jackson on our piece.
We were very excited when a package arrived from DAHRA who commissioned the project. They created a limited edition copy as a thank-you for being involved. It's personally dedicated and for all you print format geeks out there, it's a faux-leather bound 304pp book using Strathmore Pastelle Natural White & Bright White paper (with a deckle edge) and has a full bleed blind deboss on the cover. Nice!
Copies of Memories will be available to buy in the summer.
Eight:48 Issue 3
Gemma Ballinger
We're pleased to be featured in the latest edition of Eight:48 magazine which focuses on poster design. Eight:48 is a magazine for the creative community which launched earlier this year. Designed in a tabloid newspaper format, each issue focuses on a different topic of debate relevant to the current creative scene.
The newspaper dedicates a page to our work for Ministry of Sound and includes an article written by Dan on what makes a successful poster. Our very own Digital Creative Director Tom Muller also features in the magazine with some of his recent personal projects. All this is alongside works by the likes of Anthony Burrill, Pentagram and Jasper Goodall, so we're in good company.
Great format and great content, we like!

Colour Mania hits the shops
Victionary
The guys at Victionary have come up with the goods again with their latest book, Colour Mania. They've also been decent enough to feature some of our work for Ministry of Sound. Available in all good bookshops (I would think), if not try Amazon!
‘Colour Mania: where the world dances in a veritable kaleidoscope of colours, everything becomes one of its kind in their unique colours even if they are flat and mute. Just when the general gravitate towards colours for its timeless glamour, some fathom the beauty of simple palettes and are kindled to formulate the little pixels that compose the big pictures that shape the characters in our everyday life.’ You knows it!
