We are exhibiting at Plus+ International Design Expo (youplusus.net) next month. As ever, time is running away from us and we still have a number of vital bits to sort in order to complete our exhibit. We are looking for two things to help us complete our piece:

1. a mannequin – full sized / male or female. (If by any chance anyone has a reflective mannequin that would be a mega bonus!)
2. any ‘discarded design’ fellow designers / artists / companies have that they want to get rid of – things like demo prints / failed pitch designs / overruns on brochures etc…

All ‘discarded design’ pieces will be used in complete confidence but it will not be possible to return these as they will be ripped / squashed / bent (etc.) and they will be on display as part of our exhibit - so please don’t offer us anything you aren’t happy being used in this way, or put on display. We’ll gladly accept test prints (etc.) or any other wasted design.

The mannequin will be returned after the exhibition. All ‘discarded design’ pieces will be recycled after Plus+ has ended.

Also, as part of our collection of ‘discarded design’ we will be out and about cleaning up some parts of Birmingham, so if anyone has any suggestions for an area near/dear to them that could do with a litter collection, let us know.

If anyone can help us with these items, could they please email Sam (sam@stereographic.co.uk) so we can make the necessary arrangements to come and pick stuff up

Some more design treats we’ve created for The New Art Gallery Walsall.

Late nights at the gallery is a unique regular monthly night, opening the gallery up after hours for alternative music and arts events.

To give late nights a distinctive feel we applied our specialist made media and photography angle, to create a unique visual for each of the next three upcoming events. We added a simple type-based logo to give the series its sub-brand and combined everything within the new style we created for the main gallery.

We have just produced the first series in a new project called Pink Faces. We were sent some bright pink silly putty a while ago and found ourselves constantly moulding faces in the funny pink stuff using items in and around the office - pencils, pen lids, light switches etc. An interesting dynamic is that the putty starts ‘melting’ as soon as you take an object out of it, changing the impression left.

We recently combined some wet English weather location photography with dirty photo montage techniques to create a rousing image for the marketing material to promote the innovative Birmingham Opera Company’s performance of Mozart’s Idomeneo.

Sam has been keeping a ‘page a day’ scribble diary since the start of the year. The scribbles range from in a rush doodles to insighful drawings, all reflecting the day he’s had. With the diary nearing completion we wanted to give you look at some of the sorts of things that have been going on in his head..

We’ve been busy completing a brand and communications refresh for the fantastic New Art Gallery  Walsall. We were awarded the work after an intense pitching process and have been busy developing things ever since, the first fruits of which are out now.

“Stereographic showed a dedication to fresh thinking and presented designs that will really help to move the gallery forward towards our ten year anniversary.” Hollie Latham, Marketing and Development Manager.

There will be lots of design and ideas to come as we develop more and more parts of their communications, so watch this space.

We’ve just completed the front cover and lead article artwork for the latest New Scientist magazine. A combination of high speed photography, illustration, Photoshop effects and our balloon blowing up skills were used to create some incredibly eye catching images. It’s great to work with such a well respected publication, and one we admire. In shops now!

We completed the brand, logo and print material for the 2008 Radio Advertising Awards. Striking colours in the design combined with subtle print effects really help to make the final print work a little bit special.

Our design work features in the latest copy of the Channel 4 creative industries magazine 4Talent. The design of the entire article on the British Animation Awards was passed over to us for a mix of photography and illustration.
