DESCRIPTION
mag, tues, pdfTRANSCRIPT
“Ours is a simple approach: listen to our clients; understand their audience; solve their problems. We've learnt that it's easier to make yourself understood when you speak in black and white. It helps to move beyond the grey areas and deliver a message loud and clear (or quiet and clear, if the brief requires). But there's more to it than that. We're avid collectors of all things visual. We're passionate about creative colour – the bright idea that catches the eye, connects with an audience and makes a message memorable.”

Client: Magpie Studio
Project: How to -Turn a problem on its head
The website you’re currently browsing through was launched to coincide with our first year in business. To mark the dual celebration - our birthday and web launch - we sent friends and clients a hand-printed, letterpress announcement.

Project: How to - Turn a problem on its head
The limited edition prints worked both ways up, initially as a birthday announcement from the three Magpie partners (the three Ms) and then turned upside-down, as a web announcement (the three Ws). We commissioned six different sets of letters, with each set featuring on it’s own edition of 25 prints.

Client: Jackson Gilmore
Project: Cook up a successful rebrand
Jackson Gilmour are a family run, award-winning catering company. With a prestigious client list that includes HRH the Queen and a staff of chefs with more than a few Michelin stars between them, they needed a rebrand that expressed their offer as one of the best in the business.
Client: Royal Mail
Project: How to- Spread the word
Our solution is inspired by the typographic beauty of the original King James Bible. A modern take on the 400 year old book resulted in a pocket-sized Bible with extracts relevant to the stamps. The stamps were then tipped-in by hand to form a crucifix.

Project: Deliver a great idea
We suggested making use of an unused canvas - the humble proof bag. Used by printers to deliver wet proofs to their clients, the bags were screen printed with a life-sized collection of eccentric objects.

Client List
Client: Royal Mail
Project: How to - Spread the word
At the end of each year, the Royal Mail releases a set of themed Christmas Stamps. We were briefed to design and produce a limited-run display piece to showcase the stamps, depicting scenes from the King James Bible. The piece needed to compliment the miniature works of art, without overpowering them.

Client: Jackson Gilmore
Project: Cook up a successful rebrand
Focusing on their unique offer as a chef-led catering firm - we devised a brand language reminiscent of cookery books and recipes. Add a dollop of typography inspired by copper pot hallmarks, a twist of the diagramatic language of family trees, a tablespoon of very luxuriant print techniques, heat at a high temperature and enjoy.

Project: How to - Illustrate our love for all things shiny
We chose to illustrate a familiar festive favourite, The Twelve Days of Christmas - a well-worn song that encourages audience participation. We kept hold of the famous five gold rings though (one for each member of staff), highlighting a magpie’s love of all things shiny. The simple omission made both the poster and the company name memorable.
