We’ve been asked to produce a couple of illustrations of house types for Westerman Homes’ marketing agency, which was nice. Here we have the Malvern and Bourne types, roll on the rest we say!
These are some of the visuals we’ve produced for Sid in the New Year – for some reason we can’t get Queen’s ‘I Want To Break Free’ out of our heads here in the hutch…agh! These images were produced for large format print, but individual assets were also delivered so our client’s web team could put together flash-based animations of the scenes for online banners and virals.
We’ve had the pleasure of producing all the CGI for D-Link’s spaceman character Sid and his sidekick Terrence the cat, both of whom have appeared all over Europe on D-Link’s websites, in virals, on posters, banners, brochures and even on Facebook! Someone in Europe decided they wanted a Banksy-style Sid to appear on a hessian bag, so one colour screenprinting would be the order of the day. So here he is – another style applied to our favourite character.
Another CGI stroke graphic design job for a client. This time we had an aerial shot in which to composite our CGI buildings – we do love this sort of thing! We only had building footprints from which to work our magic, so we made some buildings up after a brief from the client, used materials to complement the surrounding existing buildings and produced a brochure we’re very happy with.
Sharp have brought out this lovely new LED screen which we covet like the precious it is. We were asked to produce an animation for web use – loopable – of which this is one frame. The only problem was the chance of actually acquiring an Aquos LED screen from Sharp was as remote as, well, it was remote. So we had to build one. Did we mind? Not one jot. Well, maybe a jot or two 
We’re lucky to be called on for repeat work from clients, and we hope it’s because they feel they’re getting a good job for a fair price (sounds a bit Delboy but there you go). This project was one such project – a unique residential development in Derbyshire which as ever, was fun to work on 
A graphic design agency we work closely with asked if we could produce a length of tartan to wrap around a van design they were working on. All we needed was the van make and model to get the right dimensions, set the computers all the way up to 11 on the size dial and wait a few hours until it was cooked
This building is an independent living centre for the blind and partially sighted pupils at St Benedict Roman Catholic School . The colours have been chosen for their high-contrast and the construction materials are chosen for their sustainability. Wood Newton, the designer and developer of the units, installed this free of charge for the school. It’s great to know there are people out there like this – hats off.
And this is why CGI is better than photography. We can train the untrainable – in this case cables) and make them jump through hoops to get the shot you really want for your marketing concept. Pointy finger anyone?
Forgive us for being a bit slow at posting here for a month or so, to say it’s been a bit busy would be such an understatement we’d expect a good slapping.
We’ve been working with DCH, part of Doner Advertising, for a fair few months now, producing this little chappie (and his puddy tat)Â in various situations in formats suitable for DCH to use in flash animations. These can be seen on D-Link’s websites throughout Europe and also in various printed ad campaigns. We’re pretty chuffed throughout to have been asked to work on the project, great fun!
