The London College of Fashions Heated Design...

London College of Fashion's rich heritage, and responsiveness to changes, has positioned it as a leading global supplier of fashion education, research and consultancy. 

The College's say their mission is to "Fashion the Future". With their focus on innovation in design techniques, we knew that when approached to collaborate,  it was required that we deliver something unique... 

Taking the students designs we created these floor graphics. However, they are no ordinary floor graphics. We heated the material into the concrete and brick, meaning the designs conform to the shape of the surface they are placed on and give the effect of it being printed on concrete.

Not only is this a completely innovative technique, this method is approved as a floor graphic that you can even walk on without disrupting the design, as you can see from the bottom picture of the Chelsea FC club store.

Moshi Monsters Invade Great Ormond Street....

In 1852, Great Ormond Street Hospital opened with just 10 beds, and was the first hospital in the UK to offer dedicated inpatient care to children. The hospital has had a fascinating 160-year history. From world firsts in surgery and state-of-the-art buildings to pioneering research and celebrity support, it is truly a British institution of which we can can be proud. We wanted to support their innovation and dedication, so we went into the hospital to give the kids activity room as a facelift.

Michael Acton-Smith's Mind Candy, the technology company behind the Moshi Monster phenomenon, kindly supplied and donated some images. Moshi Monster is a virtual world and online game aimed at children aged between 6-12, which allows users to adopt their own pet monster, socialise and play educational puzzles. With 80 million subscribers worldwide, the number one kids magazine in the UK, toys, books, trading cards and even a platinum selling album under its belt. It's fair to say there aren't many kids who aren't aware of Moshi Monster!

We'd like to say a big thank you to Mind Candy for helping us brighten up the activity area of the hospital.

Using the images they supplied we created some customised wallpaper and installed it in the kids activity area, you can see the results below...

Adidas all Wrapped Up...

Hello all and welcome to our new blog. We are a printing and graphics company with a difference, working across several disciplines and many different materials. If you can design it, we can produce it!

To kick things off we thought we would show you some of our work and take a look at the company that commissioned it in a bit more depth. Back in May, we were asked to do some work for several Adidas stores in locations across the county.  We created several pieces, including a combination of high gloss and matt media wraps for 6 of their stores across London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. Plus 5 bespoke window displays using layered effects of football boots and acrylics. In-store we worked on the launch zone and try on areas, including the walk on floor graphics and acrylic risers.

It was a privilege to work for a company like Adidas, not only are they market leaders within sportswear, but they have brand values that are something to admire. Adidas say that there brand represents the authenticity, inspiration, honesty and commitment - derived from sport.

They have demonstrated this consistently with endorsements of Olympic champions and the games themselves, along with the Football World Cup and innovating sportswear in all different types of disciplines. Whilst striving to remain one step ahead of competitors with their shoe and equipment technology. Buying Adidas represents buying a premium sports wear brand, additionally it is a brand that also strikes a chord with fashion concious people between the ages of 16 and 25.

As they say themselves:

"Adidas' mission is to be the leading sports brand in the world. One major lever to achieve this is the brand's broad and unique product portfolio spanning from apparel and footwear for professional athletes to premium fashion. It allows Adidas to address multiple consumer needs, exploit market opportunities from various angles, as well as be less affected by one-dimensional market risks. Adidas' commitment to product innovation and its rich heritage differentiates the brand from competitors and provides a solid platform for future growth."

You can see some pictures of the pieces we did for them below, we would like to think you can see the quality they strive for is reflected in the final work:
