Extraordinary Events in Extraordinary Places

This year Inside Out Dorset (IOD) takes place 16th – 25 September, 2016. As always, Lost & Found Creative supported Activate Performing Arts, delivering all branded communications (posters, event literature, programme and signage).

This year Activate celebrated their 25th anniversary and to mark the occasion, Lost & Found worked with them to launch a new Inside Out Dorset website: www.insideoutdorset.co.uk

We wish Activate and the IOD team a successful (and dry!) festival.

To see work completed in previous years, please see: Inside Out Dorset Case Study

This case study will be updated in due course.

Queen Elizabeth School, Barnet have made the most of the Summer break this year by producing several printed communications, including The Elizabethan Newsletter and Development Booklet.

As always, working with Edge Media, it has been an absolute pleasure and we are really pleased with the results. Case study will be updated in due course.

This summer Ellis + Boyd will launch a new responsive website, designed by Lost & Found Creative and built by www.sgnmedia.co.uk.

Ellis + Boyd is a leading PR and Social Media Consultancy based in Central London. They offer the highest quality media and communications services to clients from the beauty, health and lifestyle fields.

Over the last 3 months, Lost & Found have worked with Suzy to develop a WordPress website that she can manage and update, and that reflects her vibrant client base. We hope Suzy enjoys her new website and we will certainly be tracking the impact of the site. We are confident that this much needed website will produce real tangible results, and increase future sales, due to the improved clarity of service and message.

Throughout 2015, Lost & Found Creative – in collaboration with Phillip Southgate, Emily Penny, Caroline Jones and Richard Owsley – rebranded the London church and music venue, St John’s Smith Square.

In January 2016, the website launched (https://www.sjss.org.uk/), and was the last piece of the initial branded suite. It is great to see this venue go from strength to strength. We believe the rebrand has breathed life into this wonderful venue. Whilst retaining its sense of heritage, it has helped broaden the musical and educational offering, attracting a younger audience and range of performers.

Supporting some strong new messages and colours is a flexible visual language utilizing motifs from the architecture to form patterns. It is subtle and refined, historical, yet modern and intended to complement imagery of the performers and the venue. Used across all communications, the application of this graphic pattern can be toned up or down to have more or less graphical impact as appropriate. Time will tell, but we really think this brand approach and application has everything to evolve and grow as St John’s Smith Square continue on the next phase of the journey.

Our studio dog (Sam) is a treasured and valued member of the Lost & Found team. He’s been with us from the start, through thick and thin and keeps us all on our toes. We haven’t mentioned him in quite a well so to celebrate #nationaldogday we thought we’d give him a little mention. This picture of him was taken during a well-earned break in the Lake District. #poser

Design Week asked: Is there a formula for perfect branding? We replied:

Head + Heart + Investment x Creativity = BRAND

In reality there isn’t a perfect formula, however what we wanted to get across is that it involves investment financially as well as mentally and emotionally, both on the part of the client and the designer. Thoughts?
