Exciting new project… We recently won this great new pitch for the branding and website of Thinbelina: a company designing and creating real corsets. Real corsetieres are hard to come by, so to have one based in South Yorkshire makes us as pleased as punch.

We recently won this great new pitch for the branding and website of Thinbelina: a company designing and creating real corsets. Real corsetieres are hard to come by, so to have one based in South Yorkshire makes us as pleased as punch. Here’s a mood-board as a sneaky peek of what’s to come. The full project will be up on our website soon, so keep your eyes peeled…

And yes, the girls are all scrapping with each other to try one on!

TTI Exhibit in Germany

We were proud to once again be part of Electronica 2008 - the bi-annual electronics exhibition in Munich, Germany.

Our clients TTI were exhibiting which we supported by supplying them with all the things which would make their stand “pop”. The list includes a set of banners, a branded box of postcards advertising the vendors (shown below), a water bottle label, a branded mousemat, adverts, invites, and plenty more literature to hand out… phew!

Buongiorno! International business trip to Milan… scorchio!

D4 has just returned from an international networking event in the Italian business capital of Milan. The plan - to meet and develop contacts over in Italy.

Three heady days of events, meetings and networking in the British Consulate, we met some fantastic businesses from Milan. Safe to say the whole event, food, wine & fine leather handbags (well when in rome!) was fantastic - and hopefully should have opened up opportunities for us to help inject a little D4 British design to the European market and help the Milanese finest exports break into the UK marketplace.

International branding project completed.

We are pleased to announce the launch of an international branding and website development project for our new client, Coldend. Coldend are based in Conisbrough near Doncaster and specialise in glass inspection machinery and services. They approached D4 to design a new brand concept and website that would communicate their values and promote their services into overseas markets. D4 won a three way pitch to win the business in the summer of 2008. In late September the new branding and marketing style was rolled to the marketplace in the (lovely) form of stationery, brochures and website. The website includes the photography from the 2-day shoot at the Coldend premises art-directed by Paul, as well as the well-crafted copywriting from Zoe. Not only that… but it has the D4 ‘content management system’ that enables Coldend’s staff to easily and frequently update the product stock availability on a daily basis.

The final result has been very well received by all at Coldend and we’re all expecting some great results (worldwide!) off the back of the project.

We like his work, so we thought we’d share it with you. Simple as that.

We admire the work of Danish photographer Jacob Langvad. He has a real knack for what he does and his website showcases a great mixture of subject matter. Paul likes the project Jacob did for Nike on Football culture in Brazil - good work fella!

Here’s a brief selection of his work we’d like to share with you… if you want to see more, view Jacob’s portfolio www.jacoblangvad.com

…Rainbow(s) flying high!

Red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue… No, not another colourful brand concept and design from the D4 creative team - but a beautiful rainbow (well 2 if you look close enough!) that brightened up the Sheffield skyline on Wednesday afternoon. Expertly captured on a Canon by Marianne.
