Somewhat a little late, the whole team would like to congratulate Paul our Creative Director and Gemma on their wedding day back in May. Enjoying a honeymoon visit to New York Paul has some absolutely cracking shots of the Big Apple which we have produced canvas prints from which are available through our Myspace page.

Through on-going work with an existing client we were commissioned to produce a new logo design for this organisation. Nick Webb of Barefeet Promotions commented about our work:

"As a multifaceted business our sphere of expertise runs from an adventure centre, lifeguard training, rescue management, first aid training and even a foundation degree course. We needed an umbrella brand to help us communicate the spectrum of our training facility and asked Perception to help us with our thinking. Perception produced a range of initial ideas that were strategic concepts rather than design ideas. Through their expertise and experience they helped to guide us to a further level of clarity and impact, which became the brief for the final designs. We are very pleased with the work they have produced to give us a strong and bold design that communicates the tone of our business perfectly."

We were recently approached to take a look at the overall corporate identity and company literature for this new client to help bring them up-to-date. Although quite a sensitive work field, we have worked on designs for the look of the company which will then be transferred onto their literature and website.

Already an established company and long serving client of ours, IWA have diversified their business into the solar home energy systems. UK Go Solar is a new direction for their business, which has given us the opportunity to create a new corporate identity for them and a whole suite of sales and marketing literature.

It has been an honour of ours to work alongside Castle Ashby over the years on many of their activities and we were especially pleased when we were asked to design a new look for their new weddings venture.

The design, look and feel of this brochure was quite a 'self indulgent' exercise allowing us to work with a great setting, good photography and print finishes that really complemented the finished piece of literature. From this we have since worked on the design and layout of the website and exhibition graphics.

For the second year running Perception was commissioned by River Nene Regional Park to produce literature, graphics and interactive CD-Rom for their 'Connecting People & Spaces' conference and workshop.

The event, which took place in April and attended by over 200 delegates was well received and we look forward to working on future projects with them.

Thanks to one of our existing clients at Northamptonshire County Council, we were recommended to Northampton based TV, Film and Media company Pixel Shift Productions. Our brief was to produce new designs for the re-branding of the company. Work is still on going with the client getting the new look just right before its launch.

We would like to say thank-you to all of you who took the time to respond to our e-shot and checked out the new website.

Your feedback was important to us and it has given us the opportunity to improve on our site. Taking on board what was said we have made a few amendments to how the site looks including a new location map and further changes are to come over the coming months.

What you said...

"Now that's what I call a nice website... clean, easy to navigate yet strangely exciting!"

"Looks great - well done, love the 'Daz' teaser!"

"Striking colours, great opening bit of audio and love the video clip on the news page."

To keep you all interested keep checking out the site as we have some new up and coming features.

Finally, this month we say goodbye to studio graphic designer Eloise. Ozzie's constant whinging got too much for her and she is off to pastures new. We are now on the hunt for her replacement
