2010 REVIEW

Brent Council The Wembley Masterplan is a 218 page booklet, informing developers and landowners about the regeneration Wembley is set to see in the next twenty years. The brief was to create a document that would excite and entice people to read it, and not be just another boring council planning document. We wanted to create something that would surprise people when they saw it and therefore it was important that it had an innovative design and layout solution. Initially the brief requested a spiral bound format to enable easy viewing. However, we pushed for a Canadian bound format which provided a wrap around cover to hide the inside spiral bound element and create a more desirable final document.

We created the brand identity for FOB, a networking site for the maritime transport and trade industry. The concept for the logo was based on expanding circular water ripples.

Barracuda is a specialist search engine marketing agency. We created the brand indentity and applied it to their online presence.

We created a brand identity for ‘Photography Isn’t Dead’, a series of live events staged by Happy Finish showcasing how CGI and photography work together to create stunning results.

Focus 24 Focus24 is a hire facility created by filmmakers for filmmakers, existing not only to provide cutting edge production equipment but also deliver supporting services to film and television shoots. Fridge Creative designed a strong bold identity which could be used consistently across a wide range of print materials. It was applied to stationery, stickers, equipment labels, door signs, vans, website, emailers and much more. www.focus24.tv
