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 is the way with most design studios we spent a couple of weeks before Christmas scrambling to get something together to send out to clients, friends and anyone else we may have worked with over the past year. Despite being a digital studio, we were tired and unimpressed by 99% of the ‘digital Christmas cards’ we’d seen over the past couple of years and know that the people we work with are similarly unimpressed. We wanted to produce something that may be of some use and would hopefully engage with people for more than 5 seconds.
We decided on kicking it old school and printing a Newspaper featuring all the interesting things we’d seen, enjoyed and been inspired by in 2009. Videos, product designs, computer games, installations, experiments, interesting blogs and even some stuff that served no purpose at all. To run along side the Newspaper we built a mobile friendly blog featuring further info and video of the stuff in action. The newspaper features QR codes and shortcodes to enable people reading the paper to quickly jump to a video they were interested in or simply pull the blog up on their mobile device/computer and browse along as they read the paper.
You can see more photos in the Nation flickr stream and if you didn’t receive one and you like a copy of the paper send us an A4 envelope with 2 x 1st class stamps on it and we’ll pop one in the mail for you.

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
So here we are, our new site is live. this is it. you’re here. I know.. exciting right?
We’ll be using this site to post any new work we do, bits and pieces of news and occasional piece of internet stuff we stumble across and want to share. If you’d like to browse our current work, or take a look at the stuff we produced while working in our previous incarnations click the links in the sidebar to the right of the page.
If you’d like to get in contact with us for any reason drop an email to studio@wearenation.co.uk and we’ll get back to you quick sharpish… or if you like to kick it old school you can call us on 020 3217 0005
