Devote Associates Portfolio Shoot


Sunday afternoon saw the Devote Associates team packing up and taking a trip to Islington Mill for a portfolio photoshoot. A great 2 hours was spent capturing the quality print work that has been produced over the last 12 months. Look out for it soon on the website. A big thanks also to Ed from High contrast for his patience and help in getting everything right.

BBC Olympics advert



I am really loving the striking 40-second spot for the BBC's forthcoming coverage of the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver. The film has been created by BAFTA winning Director Marc Craste who worked alongside designer Jon Klassen in creating the look of the piece which is based around a legendary quest.

P&T Branding


Devote have created the branding for a new PR & Marketing firm which is the offshoot of an existing client. The new brand retains their colour shceme, but has been presented in a much cleaner and recognisably different manner.

Microstream Technology re-branding


Devote have completed the facelift of the branding for Manchester based IT equipment suppliers Microstream Technology. The old brand had served them well for 5 years, but they approached Devote with the sole target of creating something much more professional and considered that will be the focus of their drive into new areas of business. The resulting logo (top) has been very well received and is in the process of being added to newly designed stationery and website.
