“Its all about the sectors”

Mobiqa
website | graphic design | branding
Mobiqa asked us to update their existing website to give it more visual impact and emphasise Mobiqa’s five distinct product sectors: airlines; cinema; live events; rail & retail. We built a microsite for each product sector, identified by it’s own logo and colour scheme. The microsites were able to share a common navigation schema giving a consistent user experience across all sites but retaining the desired vertical separation through the branding we created. The microsites can be accessed from each other using the slide out menu in the top right corner of every page. Mobiqa had a large library of content which presented us a number of problems in deciding on effective presentation and an appropriate content management solution. Using sliding news viewers and graphical interfaces for product suite information we dramatically reduced the need for scrolling and multiple clickthoughs, providing an efficient and intuitive user experience.

Mobiqa CEO Nick Rankin asked us to produce a powerpoint presentation for a conference he was attending. We wanted to get away from the usual boring run of the mill ‘bullet point’ presentation and do something with more impact, so we built the presentation around the story of ‘A day in the travels of Nick Rankin’. We used illustrations and captions on each slide to create a dynamic presentation in PowerPoint showing how Nick used his mobile phone to book tickets, rental cars and hotels for his trip to the conference - all using technology and services provided by Mobiqa, of course!

The brand was then applied to corporate stationery, business cards, sales literature, signage and press advertising. All printed matter was produced on 100% recycled materials.
The brief from Blue Property was to create corporate identity and branding that would communicate Blue Property’s vision: environmental balance and the highest standards of quality and design. The 3D rendered sphere with blue and green elements following the proportions found in nature perfectly encapsulates these ideas. To complement this image we chose a typeface we felt would communicate quality, professionalism and high standards.

We also created a website for Blue Property to support and strengthen the message of the printed materials and provide in-depth information on the company and their mission. Phase I of the website project established the Blue Property web presence and provides an intuitive easy to use content management system giving Blue Property full control over the website structure and content. Microsites for each project are accessed by a user friendly, guessable URL, featured on all communications and sales materials for that project. Images and news on each development can also be displayed on the website home page. Further phases of site development will include adding live webcam feeds from the development sites showing building progressing, live data feeds allowing realtime comparison of energy performance and private, secure owner and community areas. http://www.blue-property.co.uk

We continue to work with Blue Property in helping push their passive housing brand Bluehaus forward. Our latest work has been creating all the promotional literature for Scotland’s 1st eco development at Taynuilt. Work included brochures, newspaper adverts, poster, flyers and huge banners. In the current slump in the property market Blue Property has managed to survive due to a strong product and their desire to market that product in an effective manner. The means and flair provide by us of course.

Outdoor Diary graphic design | print production
Available in thousands of venues, tourist and activity centres, The Outdoor Diary will be clearly recognizable to anyone living in Edinburgh and the Borders of Scotland. We were asked to refresh the cover design and handle all layout, design, typesetting and print management for this 84 page brochure. For the cover we used images supplied by local photographers and organisations. We created a 3D environment and placed these images in with a variety of objects commonly used in the hundreds of events in the Outdoor Diary.

P.O.L.H.A graphic design | photography
With their new website online the association wanted their freely available tenant handbook to reflect its look and style. The content had to be to clearly laid out with distinctive headings and chapters so tenants could easily find the correct information. This was achieved through colour theming and careful photography selection. Along with print ready artwork, we also provided P.O.L.H.A with a downloadable version so tenants and potential tenants could access the handbook online.

The Port of Leith Housing Association required photography for their new website and printed material with the brief to show the diversity in their properties thoughout Leith. For the last 15 years Leith has had major re-development and we wanted to capture that development and show what an exciting and vibrant place it is to live. The photos also demonstrate the Association’s part in the changing face of Leith.

Thyme
website | photography | graphics | marketing
client : Thyme Thyme is a small independent Edinburgh based company passionate about food. So what makes Thyme that little bit different from the rest? Is it the freshly baked rolls delivered warm to our doors every morning from a local French patisserie? Is it the beautiful hand made salads and dressings? Or is it the coffee delivered freshly roasted from Edinburgh based Artisan Coffee? Actually it’s all of these things that make Thyme that extra bit special. Oh and the fact that Bluemungus did our website and graphics.

Thyme
website | photography | graphics | marketing
We designed and built a full e-commerce website for Thyme, giving customers the ability to order lunches and business catering online. We believed the focus should be on the quality of Thyme’s food. We spent several days in the shops photographing the freshly made food to produce the high quality imagery we needed to use as large backgrounds throughout the site and in the product gallery. The site is simply mouthwatering and it’s pretty difficult to resist putting in an order. Check it out at www. lunchthyme.co.uk.

Not only did we produce all the menu boards for Thyme which radically brightened up the shops but we handled all the marketing material to help promote the website and the shops. We produced huge inshop posters (left), A-board designs (right) and flyers using the same mouthwatering imagery and colours we used on the website. Yum!

Schuh
website CSS consultancy | interactive flash | video
client : Schuh Schuh are the no.1 fashion retailer for footwear in the UK and have won multiple retail awards for both their online and offline operations. Schuh asked us to provide CSS consultancy to help them in overhauling and updating their website. As part of the Schuh team, we worked closely with their in-house design, e-commerce and web development teams to implement the CSS that would bring their vision for the new site to life. Since the new site launched in October 2009, we have continued to work with Schuh to implement new features and improvements.

Schuh
website CSS consultancy | interactive flash | video
Schuh also asked us to design and build a Flash based interactive Advent Calendar for their website as part of their Christmas promotional activity. With the tagline of “Get what you really want for Christmas”, we developed with Schuh the idea of using horrible woolly ‘Christmas’ sweaters as the theme of the Calendar. After scouring the Charity shops of Leith we found two sweaters with a suitable air of the unwanted Christmas gift. We then photographed them, recoloured them to fit with the Schuh gender colour scheme. We then created a pocket for each sweater to hold the daily advent calendar prizes. Information and images for the prizes were pulled in on the fly from the Schuh website, allowing the prizes to be added or changed without making changes to the Flash application directly. By clicking the pockets on the sweaters, customers would select the prize they wanted from either men’s or women’s options on the calendar and click through to enter a daily competition to win that prize. Competition entries were handled by the existing competitions system on the new Schuh website.

We created these 30 second TV idents for Schuh to be shown instore, on the Schuh TV website (which we also built) and on the Schuh Youtube channel. The two short films, which were storyboarded, shot & edited by Bluemungus were created using stop frame animation before digital grading and editing in Final Cut Pro. Schuh rather unsurprisingly supplied the Shoes.
