It really is surprising how many designers design for an A4 piece of paper and don’t think about the actual application. Our experience of being able to take an identity to its natural end point is starting to win contracts further afield. In this example, we were employed to create the branding and signage for a shopping centre in Dunfermline, not far from Edinburgh.

The centre was going through a major extension and working with the architects and contractors was a key part of our early work. Little things, such as knowing what wayfinding signage was DDA compliant (Disablilty Discrimination Act) helped us gain the respect of the whole production team.

We were involved in everything from Adshels to the main signage and controlled a range of outside contractors. Challenging at times yes, but the overall result was worthwhile. We are now employed directly by the centre manager on an on-going basis.
