Hot off the heels of our internationally televised design adventure with Katie Piper and Secret Millions, we are happy to announce another highly classified project is in the pipeline.

We’re lucky enough to have many clients with whom we’ve worked over many years and multiple projects, and one of these such clients is Design Event. The champions of design in the north, Design Event are currently preparing for this years Northern Design Festival and have asked us to work with them once again. Run from October 10th–20th at the Newcastle Stephenson Works, the Northern Design Festival 2013 will be investigating the ever-growing role of digital technologies within the creative industries under the theme Create:Digital.

For now we can’t say much, but what we will say is that we’ve been asked to work on the festival branding and promotional materials for this year and that the approach is taking has set us off on a whole new adventure. A collaboration between ourselves and Zenbullets (Matt Pearson), the project is sure to be very exciting (we promise to share any goodies we can as it progresses) and we’re confident it’ll deliver the effective concept-led, graphic design that Design Event and the Northern Design Festival 2013 deserve.

As a side note and following on from the success of ‘The Happiness Test’ in 2011, we’ve also been successful in getting a couple of pieces into the Design Event MART, due to run alongside the Northern Design Festival. Visually classified information for now, we’re busy working on a new print, as well as having our first tentative dip into the world of product design. We’ll say no more, but you can judge the results yourself this October.
