event publicity, branding &
booklet design

Momentum Arts aims to advance the skills, knowledge and creativity of groups and individuals in East England. It does this through training, action-research and consultation.

Current projects include Being Here, an arts-led regeneration programme based in Southend and Untold Stories, a Cambridge-based project which aims to discover and promote the city’s diverse cultural heritage.

A show by Austrian dancer Willi Dorner entitled ‘Mazy’, was a Momentum Arts promoted tour which took place in the Autumn of 2000. Mono Industries designed all the publicity for the tour and made use of some great photography which was supplied by the company.

I was also asked to design a logotype for the Cross Currents project which was to be used across all media. This was a collaborative project between the Momentum Arts Diversity Programme and Decibel – the Arts Council’s Cultural Diversity initiative.

The Being Here Now leaflet and subsequent brochure needed to fulfill two main criteria: to appeal to young people and to be as accessible as possible to people with disabilities. It scored on both counts and has even been used as an example of good accessibility practice.

web shop design & consultancy

Mono Industries was asked to design a web shop for Icelandic band Sigur Rós by their management company Big Dipper Management.

A simple and elegant design solution was required to work alongside the band’s evocative visuals. Great attention to detail was given to the layout and typography within the shop as it was felt that the usual online shopping experience would not be appropriate in this instance.

The shop was built by e-commerce merchandise experts Sandbag.

Loci Interiors offer comprehensive and bespoke design solutions for commercial and residential clients.

They asked me to design them an easily-updatable website that would act as a portfolio for the company.

branding, stationery &
website

Being a bit of a geek myself, I was thrilled when telecoms startup StarLeaf contacted me about designing an identity and website for them.

They were so easy to work with and full of ideas. It was also nice to work with a client who was as interested in the tiny details as I was.

I’m looking forward to being able to work with them again in the future.

photo editing

Mono Industries was asked to photo-edit the first version of U2.com – the official website of U2.

The site was a complete retrospective which included all stages of the band’s career.

website analysis &
consultation

Resolve Business Solutions are a chartered accountancy practice that provide financial services for clients across a range of industries.

They asked me to look at their website and make recommendations as to its performance and search engine visibilty.

We also looked at the site and compared it to that of their main competitors.

A bit of an odd one this. I was asked to create computer drawings so that the show designers and the band themselves could begin to see how the stage set would look for the ‘Up’ world tour of 1999.

cambridge folk festival
super8 film

Having grown up 5 minutes away from the Cambridge Folk Festival site, I jumped at the chance to film the event in 2001.

I filmed lots of footage during the build up to the festival as well as the weekend itself on two Super 8 cameras. It was a rather expensive way of filming but worth it for that Super 8 ‘feel’.

BBC Radio 2 (sponsors of the event at that time) stumped up some money for me to edit the film professionally and eventually the film got shown at the prestigious Cambridge Film Festival as part of the short film programme.

implementation

Independent insurance brokers La Playa invited Mono Industries to re-design and host their website.

The company has a reputation within the industry for doing things a little differently and this needed to be communicated via the new site. The end product was a very smart but friendly site which utilised some great photography.

We are just about to start re-structuring the site to take into account some social media activities that the company are keen to implement.
