Colour To Read

SeventyNinePR approached us to create the visuals for an online tool for Magenta Optical Services to help schools quickly and effectively screen for and manage schoolchildren with Visual Stress which affects literacy.

The website is aimed at school children of all ages and is designed to be a fun exercise rather than a test. Micro sites visually tailored to 7 - 10 year olds and 11 - 16 year olds. The site was created working alongside the opticians to get correct level of detail and application for schoolchildren.

The project was creatively directed by Studio LeighLeigh, with credits to Lee Garton and Luke Kurbalija (www.madebyedit.com). Produced creative content only, no build or development

Destination Sunshine

Did you ever wonder how long it would take to drive around the sun, which countries are in Britain’s top 10 holiday destinations or why your hand palms and buttocks are more difficult to tan than other body parts? Did you know that on average, Britons take 3.2 holidays a year, that people between the age of 15-24 travel significantly more than other generations or that sunscreen will make your tan last longer?

Over the years, Airtours has gathered a lot of fascinating information about British holiday habits and our favourite destinations from a great variety of sources such as NASA, the World Health Organization, Cancer Research UK, UNdata and MetOffice. Because many of these facts are very interesting if you’re looking for all-inclusive holidays, they decided to launch “Destination Sunshine”, an info graphic, designed by Studio LeighLeigh, crammed with unique knowledge and advice about holiday destinations, the sun, burning, tanning and much more.

All concepts, illustrations and graphics were designed and produced by Studio LeighLeigh on behalf of Arena Quantum for Airtours.

WHIFF Magazine

Collaborating with 4 other designers to produce a bi-monthly free youth culture magazine with a difference, WHIFF magazine was born, with an aim to focus on youth culture, anarchy and alternative style.

This a conceptual art direction piece that sets the look and feel for all future WHIFF issues. WHIFF was to be a free culture magazine in the vain of Vice, Left Lion or SixtyNine and it's main target market is trendy, alternative people aged 16 - 25. It featured a smell strip that ran down the spine of the magazine that could be torn off to reveal a scent that related to the issues content, a bellyband that entailed the issues contents, and a centerpiece with the issues photographic journals, in this case a journal on Brooke Cutmore's fashion design work entitled 'The Dark Side Of Disney' - which was both art directed and designed by Studio LeighLeigh.

My personal input in to this magazine consisted of sourcing a professional photographer, producing visuals for, and lead directing, the 'Dark Side Of Disney' photoshoot, contributing towards the overall look and feel of the project, along with contributing design and author of ‘WHIFF’S WORLD’ and ‘Rule Shitannia’ articles within the magazine. All other design aspects were decided and negotiated upon within team below.

This project was created in collaboration with Jenny Storey, Daniel Cullen, James Froggatt, Jacob Kessler and Brooke Cumore.

Itsyworld.co.uk

Itsy Sandwich Stores are a high-end sandwich chain based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Their motto is to 'say goodbye to the soggy triangle' and say hello to gourmet business lunches and sandwich breaks.

Itsy came to us with a simple brief, they wanted a fun and vibrant site design that encapsulates to feel of their company. After much research, development and client feedback the 'Monty Python' style route chosen to hero the Itsy offering. Born from this is the glorious fantasy landscape that is itsyworld.co.uk, featuring angelic 'winged' sandwich buns, giant panda's strangely placed objects to create the surreal environment.

The Itsy brand welcomed great copy such as renaming the Twitter feed, 'bird food' and referring to their social network as their 'family tree' - to create an imaginative playful image hat Itsy is an adventure in a sandwich, not like any ordinary high street sandwich.

ReSite: Concorde

A set of 40 double-sided sheets commemorating one of the greatest designs to ever grace our skies, the Concorde.

These were produced as part of the ongoing ReSite project in Australia. Designed with a 70's instruction manual feel in mind, the idea is to inform the viewer about the Concorde and it's achievements, celebrating it's ingenuity and allow the viewer to participate in following the instructions to construct an origami version of the Concorde on the same sheet. The instructions and design has been produced so that the origami folds can be made without obstructing the participant's view of the instructions at any point. A fold by fold diagram set is on the front cover, which pairs up to colour coded, numbered fold lines on the reverse.

What is ReSite?

ReSite is a monthly collection of 40 A5 sheets that has contributors from all over the globe. The idea behind ReSite is simple, anyone can be involved, all you have to do is produce something on or with an A5 sheet of whatever material you choose (providing it is flat for postage) and it must have some level of human interactivity.
