We have just completed a rebrand of Umbro’s Teamwear offer aimed at the amateur football team market (Sunday leagues, pie eating pub teams, after work kick around etc). Umbro’s founding father (Harold Humphreys) believed that looking smart gives players a psychological advantage over their opponent and this insight is born out in these stylishly tailored football strips.
Our approach was to produce a game-changing piece of communication. Showing respect for the players who form Sunday league teams up and down the country by offering them product and communications that make them the hero.
47,000 of these large format brochures are now in circulation and have already started to cause a bit of a stir.
Thanks go to Steve Rhodes and the Umbro team, Tom Van Schelven, Tommy Cockram, Paula, Dani, Vicky, Harmsworth Print, Mum, Dad, Fabio, and Rooney.
To celebrate the beautiful sounds created at this years World Cup, we’ve created this little thingy to help you to cheer on your favorite team (and annoy the f**k out of everyone around you). Enjoy… or should that be endure.
We’re in need of a ‘really’ good artworker to help produce our lovingly-crafted work. The requirements from our quality conscious Studio Manager are as follows:
1. Candidate will have excellent hands-on artworking skills right through to producing print ready artwork for repro.
2. You will need excellent print production knowledge, good house keeping skills and OCD for detail.
3. Ability to work quickly and accurately under pressure on quick turn around jobs, whilst maintaining a high standard of quality and brand awareness is essential.
4. Excellent professional communication skills.
5. Essential software requirements: include InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
6. Other desirable software requirements that would be an advantage: PowerPoint, Flash and Fireworks.
7. From design/concept you will be creating print ready artwork for a range of projects including: advertising, spatial design, ad campaign toolkits, bespoke packaging, e-mailers and web banners.
8. The ability to retouch in Photoshop to a high level would also be a distinct advantage.
It’s been a while since we last updated you about the activities going on across the street from our office. As it’s World Cup kick off we thought today was a good day…
Not much happening yet…
Work it baby…
Random tractor…
Somewhere to sit and watch the world cup…
By far the best photoshoot in the alley to date.
see what we mean?
“Not like that, like this!”
“Yes that’s it!”
…
And here it is again my personal favourite – bloke with hangover throwing up into curb.
If any students are looking to grab our attention, you could do a lot worse than printing out your work big and standing in the alley.
We can proudly reveal that our local kebab house, Hunters is now favorite to be the 1st kebab house to go into space.
Competition has been tough with local rivals Kebabish failing with their launch attempt last week when they tried to send their 3 man team and their rocket ‘Rice&3′ to the moon.
They are currently working on their latest rocket which “will be ready in about 5 minutes” revealed the guy behind the counter.
We’ve been busy recently coming up with a few of our own products, one of which is a range of soup bowls. We’ve come up with 2 collections, the first is aimed at the kids market to make eating more fun, whilst the other is aimed at the white-plate brigade to let your dinner guest know exactly what you think of them. Either way, expect them to be at a car-boot sale near you soon.
Are you an experienced designer of top (shelf) digital stuff?
Do you pump out web/digital design like there’s no tomorrow?
Do you get all hot and bothered over ideas getting it on with concepts?
Do you want to push hard into the digital design envelope till it begs for more?
Can you hold your own with the big boys?
Good, good. Well, we’ve got a senior digital design position that needs a good filling. Send your CV, website or whatever to hello (at) lovecreative (dot) com.
Here’s Ed putting the finishing touches to Umbro’s World Cup countdown/scoreboard. It was beautifully produced with the help of Dani and the lads from DIS (that’s Digital Imaging Services to the initiated). The great thing is that it matches Ed’s shorts, which were not produced by Dani and the lads from DIS.
And talking about the Final Countdown, here’s a great version of it.
We’ve just finished a website for Umbro’s 2018 Back The Bid campaign. It gets supporters, both famous and unknown, to get behind the bid with 18 seconds of airtime to tell the world why they think England is a deserving host for the 2018 games. Submit a video and you’ll be in the company of Norman Cook, Michael Owen, Trevor Nelson, Clint Boon and Alan Shearer to name but a few…
And talking about the 2018 Bid, here’s something we did earlier this year with the help of The Neighbourhood to help the cause. It’s a mascot we created based on Pickles the Dog who recovered the World Cup in 1966. Good luck to all.
