Academic book cover designs

Over the last few months we've been working with the academic section of Cambridge University Press. We love the fact that they send us covers to conceptualise in any given subject with a really wide range of focus, from military history to grammar and biochemistry.

Small fish, big pond!

It can be daunting when you find yourself in an unfamiliar environment, especially when you are starting out. Design is an especially different kind of terrain to negotiate, with foreign-sounding terminology and lots of specialist knowledge to alienate you further. It needn't be like that at all! We can help you!

Peter meets Sir Bob

Normally we are all hush hush about the celebs we encounter in our daily workings here at Pentacor Towers, but sometimes those superstars are so shiny we can't help but tell the world! And let's face facts – they don't get much shinier than Sir Bob!

New brand for WCS Group

We've just finished working on the initial stages of branding for the WCS Group, a local cleaning and industrial services company. Nothing says clean and friendly to us as much as circles, so we used lovely roundey shapes with off-tone primary colours to develop an identity that looks fresh and bright for the three companies.

Go Raw for a Day e-book

We designed a bright, fresh and inspiring new e-book for Karen Knowler, one of the world’s leading Raw Food coaches. Not only is Karen a human dynamo but the first time we met her she whizzed us up a fruit & spinach smoothie which was absolutely delicious and very, very green!

Must See London guides

We designed these 32 page travel guides to London for Pitkin Publishing. Their target market is the budget conscience tourist who would like to know a little more about the city but doesn't want to spend time or money of a full format travel guide.

Vintage jewellery website & catalogue

We’ve been working hard on this brand new site and brochure for vintage style jewellery and accessories. DFU (designed for you) is a portal for potential customers to view previous pieces, as each item is made to order from the client’s specific requirements.

Truth book published

We loved every minute of this new publishing project for Kai Publishing. Truth is a trilogy of books that explore questions of existence and the meaning of life. We handled the design, layout, project management and print.

Web makeover for High Flyers

The team at High Flyers wanted a website that looked friendly and welcoming and all about people. We also built a content management system so that they could enter the latest job information on the site. The response to the new site has been spectacular!
