Posted 23 Jul 2012

If you’re in the Bermondsey area over the next week, make sure you stop off at the Woolson and Tay Gallery in Bermonsdsey Square SE1 3UN and check out the Yekinni art exhibition. Its an exhibition entitled Typography v’s Illustration – a collection of illustration and graphic art that explores the use of letterform as visual communication. The exhibition runs to the 29th of July. We printed the work for the exhibition onto 240gsm fine art paper. An acid free paper which guarantees to keep it’s colour for years to come, printed in UV curable inks, which combined with this paper has a life of 100 years plus!

Class of 2012 – Rachel Mintern and Sophie Burt

Posted 23 Jul 2012

More award winning graduates from Kingston University. Rachel Mintern chose us to print her portfolio and end of year show pieces. One of her projects with fellow Kingston Graduate Sophie Burt has won a prestigious Student Design Award from the Royal Society of Arts. Congratulations ladies!  The project is called Mid Way and is more than just a design project, it’s a complete business model.

The Mid Way project as it was presented in the degree show

We produced inkjet printed self adhesive vinyl, contour cut to shape, which they applied directly to their display space wall, alongside posters and self adhesive vinyl text.

Project info-
Mid Way is an organisation that helps people aged 50-60 working in any job sector to take 3-6 months of personal time off work with job security upon their return.

You can read more about the project and their award winning crudentials in this piece on the Kingston University website. Their work was on display at the London Degree show as well as being chosen to be one of the few at the D&AD New Blood show.

Follow the Van!

Posted 04 Jul 2012

Have you spotted the Kingston University Design Show van?

We supplied cut vinyl to go on the doors and the students covered the van with velcro and reversable velcro squares taking their degree show to the streets, letting the masses create their own artwork. For the last couple of days it’s been in Covent Garden and Soho promoting their take shape 2012 degree show, you can check out their progress and some of the mobile art being created by tourists and passers by on their twitter feed.

The show takes place from the 5th – 9th July 2012, at Dray Walk Gallery, London E1
