3D Photography

23rd April 2010 by Dan Gilbert

Achieve amazing photographic results with HDR

As part of a photography proposal currently being written, Design Inc are suggesting this rather interesting, but widely underused photographic technique which really brings images to life.

HDR (high dynamic range) imaging, gives a larger dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of a photo and combines them. This offers a larger dynamic range and visually represents evenly all the intensity levels found in any one scene.

This technique can be constructed either by the photographer using camera at the photoshoot, or by merging and photo manipulating images of the same scene taken with varying dynamic ranges back at the studio.

I hope it is considered, as it would create a very individual brand style indeed. Let us know what you think!

Happy Valentine’s with love from Design Inc.

15th February 2010 by Dan Gilbert

You may have received our Valentine’s eNewsletter. If not, please click here to view what we have been up over the last couple of months. Besides making handmade Valentine’s cards, we have been busy pitching for new business. We are particularly proud of our Kantar Retail website project win. This is a major WPP Group company with branding by The Partners. This has already led to further projects that bring the new brand to life in internal communications media and environments.

This issue, as well as a gallery of horribly romantic designs, we are showcasing the launch of the Senate House venue marketing website. This has just gone live. Targeting both the historical academic conference marketplace and a new dynamic events offering: the site takes users on a journey in either direction to a final destination that results in venue bookings.

You too can receive regular Design Inc news updates by signing up on our website.

Happy Valentine’s from the team at Design Incorporated.

National Calendar Design Awards

14th January 2010 by Frank Norman

Richard Brewster, Master of Stationers Hall with the calendarDesign Inc attended the National Calendar Awards on January 12th at Stationers’ Hall, London (next to St Paul’s Cathedral).

The calendar we had designed and created for global engineering company, NOV ASEP Elmar had been entered into the Pictorial Bespoke Calendar category.

The calendar, entitled A Toy Story was inspired by the toys that their engineers first played with when they were children.

Twelve items of the company’s equipment (ranging from small items to multi-ton trucks) were selected and our team of creative designers set about recreating those items by using the toys.

The equipment was recreated with a number of ‘engineering’ toys including; building bricks, fuzzy felt, balsa wood, needlework, etch-a-sketch, mould maker , lego, meccano, airfix, etc.

The calendar can be viewed here.

We were very pleased to hear that this calendar was indeed shortlisted for this award. There were six entried in this shortlist, these being:

  • Cuba – 50 years of Revolution
  • JCB 65th Anniversary
  • Pirelli Calendar 2010
  • The Sun Page 3 Calendar
  • Royal Academy of Dance

Regrettably, A Toy Story did not win. The renowned Pirelli Calendar 2010 scooped first price, with JCB 65th Anniversary receiving the silver prize.

All was not lost however, as A Toy Story was specially selected for display & commendation for ‘possessing a strong creative flair’.
