ITF: logo and event websites

itf

Client: NHITF and SCITF (2011)

Details: The previous ITF event websites were mis-matched and didn’t offer the brand continuity or functionality needed by the organisations. Working through Andrew Whiteman of Open Globe Marketing I evolved the logo so each organisation had a clear but connected identity, and designed and developed 2 new websites in WordPress CMS which allowed them full control over their content. They can now upload and manage their own event listings (with location map and EventBrite connectivity) which get ordered and listed automatically to keep the homepage and event list up-to-date.

Windsor Globe: Wind in the willows

Client: The Windsor Globe (2011)

Details: For the 2011 season The Windsor Globe Theatre were preparing a production of the classic Wind in the Willows for performance in the beautiful grounds of Alexandra Gardens by the River Thames in Windsor, with views of Castle. They needed a graphic/logo to underpin their advertising to appeal both to potential cast members (as they always bring a young cast together for events) as well as the audience. I designed a flexible image for them which be adapted to fit various sizes and formats.

Designation: Touchpoint

Client: Designation (2008-2010)

Details: Touchpoint is the appropriate name for communication from Designation, focussed on the monthly e-shot supported by a blog where subscribers can post their feedback. The e-shot is on edition 25 as I write this, meaning it’s been going out on time every month for over 2 years, which is a remarkable achievement for a company this size.

My involvement is in preparing, test and sending the e-shot, in conjunction with updates to the blog, and the Designation website. I’ve also set the blog up so that updates are syndicated out to the Designation Twitter account and Facebook business page via Ping.FM. I set those social media platforms up a while back and they are also under the Touchpoint banner currently.

Verasseti: A solution provider with integrity

Client: Verasseti for Designation (2009-2010)

Details: When Dreamspace wanted to evolve they came to Designation having worked successfully together in the past. I ran the brand consultancy phase including workshops with the client. This phase following the Designation brand process to research and define a new brand based on the big idea that was identified to match the new direction the company was going in.

We proposed a number of varied brand names which were measured against a range of crtieria. From those option the client choose a name that I’d created, Verasseti, which is based around truth and integrity, values integral to the proposition. The initial branding launch collateral was then developed including a new website, which I designed and developed.

“John is excellent to work with, delivers good results to deadlines. Would definitely recommend his work, and would work with John in the future.”

Atkins Management Consultancy: Clever suits

Client: Atkins MC for Designation (2005-2009)

Details: When a client (Mantix) was taken over by the huge entity that is Atkins (becoming their Management Consultancy division) I was lucky enough to be able to continue on the account managing their website. I’ve been involved with their site over ten years now and I recently (Sept 09) made the 4th evolution of their website live. This new site incorporates numerous MooTools scripts to add dynamism to their content.
