WTF shall I do this weekend?

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Weekends are for expanding the mind and getting involved with diverse cultural and creative offerings, or sitting in your underwear eating cereal and fighting nazi’s in a room filled with only the flickering of a giant TV. To push ourselves out of doing the latter we decided to make a little website to display neat stuff happening near you.  The site uses the eventful API and an idea wholly inspired by http://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com/. It throw’s up obscure, interesting and occasionally amusing stuff; See it here

Our good friend fashion designer Shelley Fox asked us to help out with the print and signage for an exhibition she was putting on as part of her new role as Donna Karan Professor of Fashion at Parsons University in New York. The small folded poster advertised the exhibition, talks and symposium and gave visitors something nice to take home with them. See more photos from the exhibition here

As part of a larger digital design job Nation developed the branding for high end fashion designer Alice Temperley’s new line ‘ALICE by Temperley.’ The logo was developed using the cover of a 1972 edition of Alice in Wonderland as inspiration and involved us tracking down a set of letterpress unused for 35 years (thanks in no small part to our friends at the Paupers Press). The brand is now being used across all mediums and cropping up in places like Vogue.

We made some friends over at Leo Burnett a little while ago and created a little flash piece that reveals to us all, finally, who the make up of make up artist’s really are!
We kept things simple and to the point. See for yourself.

Nation launch new Lowe London website

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Lowe approached us to design and produce a new website for the London office. The site was built to hold their new mission statement, some of their latest work and an archive of their award winning advertising work from the past. We worked closely with the digital team at Lowe, and developed the idea of producing short ambient videos to compliment their new ‘very british’ branding. http://www.lowelondon.com
