We’ve carried the momentum from a busy start to the year straight into February, wrapping up a diverse range of briefs and projects. Alongside this, Rob and Steve took a trip to London for some well-earned downtime and a fresh dose of design inspiration.
BEYOND THE STUDIO

Inspiration in The Capital
Both Rob and Steve took to the Capital during February with some highlights of their visits being The Triple Trouble Exhibition, The Leake Street Graffiti Tunnels and Trafalgar Square. The trip wasn’t only a shift in dynamic, seeing the bustling City of London – but also a great source of visual inspiration.
IN THE STUDIO

Love Worcester Heritage Festival Marketing
As a Worcester-based design studio, we’re proud to create work that celebrates the city we know and love. Worcester is steeped in history, from its defining role in the English Civil War to the craftsmanship of Royal Worcester and the grandeur of Worcester Cathedral. Being local means we understand the character, pride and heritage that make the city unique.
For Love Worcester, a Valentine’s season festival celebrating the city’s rich heritage, we created a cohesive campaign across digital adverts, posters and flyers. By blending historic storytelling with themes of love and community, we ensured the campaign felt authentic, engaging and closely connected to Worcester’s identity.
The Commandery – Annual Leaflet & Illustration
As one of Worcester’s more iconic landmarks, The Commandery continues to celebrate the city’s rich heritage through a dynamic programme of educational events. Keeping their marketing fresh and engaging is essential to reaching new audiences.
We were delighted to redesign their 2026 Annual Leaflet, bringing together photography, illustration and design into one cohesive package. Working with a multi-disciplinary studio ensures creative consistency, streamlined communication and greater impact – all delivered efficiently under one roof.
We also recently created a bespoke illustration for a new donation box, inviting visitors to show their allegiance to either the Royalists or Parliamentarians, adding an interactive touch to the historic experience.
