Email to Mark Studios

Mark Studios

Mark Studios is a Manchester based design company in the northern quarter.
They have done work for big clients such as Marks and Spencer and the royal exchange theater. I like the work they have
done for the bandwagon
which are the images shown.I was for an unsigned band company and i thought this related a lot to the brand identity work we were doing which includes looking for little things in the type. Mark studios has done this by creating the earphones using the b and the d. They have won numourous awards including two D&AD awards.

Dinosaur Creative agency

After two weeks of not hearing back from dinosaur i sent another email which is shown on the screen shot. I received one back saying she had forward my email on to the creative director. There was only one email address on the site which was for Emily. Learning from this I now know to ask for a specific person.

Love Creative

Love Creative are a Manchester based Design company. They have done work for clients such as Nandos,Dr martins, Warburtons,v.festival and the list goes on. The thing I like about there website that I haven't seen in on other ones is they add the brief. They show the brief explain there idea and then show the final out come.The three that stood out for me was the work for the year of food and farming,Nandos and the v.festival work.


The brief for the food festival was to create a campaign that encourages children to eat the right food without boring them to death. I like the way the created little characters which look fun and interesting. The Nandos brief was to create the packaging for Nandos potato chips, and for there idea the wrote read it and weep. I like the packaging as it links with everything Nandos. The final piece of work i really liked was for the v.festival posters. There brief was to make a poster that would appeal to anyone from 9-90.
It showed on the website different ways of
making the poster work with sold out signs on it.
