You may have heard from some of our individual blogs that we have recently been working with National Museum Wales on their marketing collateral for the next two years. The first items produced were the individual brochures for the museums and also an overall flyer for the family of Museums. Launched during this years Eistedfodd the publications have already had a very positive response, both internally within the Museum and externally through feedback from the Tourist Information Centre's around the country.

We will be continuing the work with the Museum over the next few months through a series of events and feedback sessions which will allow us to gauge and quantify the effects of the work produced.

We are happy to announce that once again Hoffi will be setting a 'Live Brief' for the third year students at University of Wales Cardiff (UWIC). It will be the second year we have been involved in setting briefs for the students and it is something we really enjoyed last time. As well as Hoffi. Elfen, Stills and Staziker Jones will also be setting briefs for the students.

The projects begin early next week and for us, as we specialise in branding we will be setting a branding project for the students. We have set a challenging brief for them and hope that they will really get into the project. Last year we gave some of the students work experience in our studio which we hope also helped develop a sense of what it will be like for them to be a designer in a commercial sense. We will keep you posted on the outcome of the projects.

We have just learnt that we will be once again featured in this years Cardiff Design Festival's Showcase. We have been chosen to show our work for Academi's - Book of the Year awards, branding for SoBor - Fruit Smoothies and finally our work on West Wales Eco Centres Climate Change Wales Website. 

The showcase will be a traveling exhibition that will tour Wales during the festival and then will it will travel around other major design festivals until the next festival takes place. The festival starts on the 2nd October with the opening taking place at the Senedd.
