We were very pleased to be approached by Spike Theatre to produce the latest publicity artwork for their new touring theatre show ‘Sink or Swim’.

This will be the 16th touring production we have worked on for the company.

The ‘Sink or Swim’ images and associated print work were created to give an insight into the tone, content and nature of the play. (Always a tricky thing to do with a piece of devised theatre.)

The graphics and design, as always, had to be created to be as flexible as possible, allowing the artwork to be re-purposed dependent on destination. Both landscape and portrait versions of the design were produced to suit a wide variety of media from A5 flyers and A0 posters to web banners and email attachments.

We were recently awarded the contract by Liverpool Vision for creating the website for the International Festival for Business 2014.

We worked with Liverpool Vision’s in-house design team to create a site that was clear and easy to navigate and also looked great and matched the style and branding of the forthcoming event.

The site is built on an open source content management system which allows the IFB2014 team to update and add content as the festival develops.

Also integrated into the project are several web technologies. The home page features an integrated twitter feed, showcasing the current social conversations about the festival. Reflecting the true international nature of the festival there is a Google Translate button, which allows an instant, on-page translation of the site at the click of a mouse. The site also features several YouTube embedded videos which stream into the page in a dedicated viewer.

The site was built with phone and tablet users in mind and is responsive, dyamically changing the layout and content of the site to suit the viewing device.

We have recently completed stage 1 of a redesign and rebuild of the website for the LT Print Group.

The brief for the project was to take their existing site, which was built on a limiting proprietry content management system and re-create the site using an open source content management system (WordPress).

The site was pretty much re-built from the ground up which allowed us to integrate a few new features such as their multi-stage print enquiry form and an updated interactive gallery of work.

The navigation was also re-built, providing a clear information system which enables team at LT Print to better showcase their service offering and demonstrate their expertice to their clients.

Stage 2 of the project will be focussed around search engine optimisation and social media integration.

We recently worked with Our Story Liverpool and Mersey Care to design and produce the latest in their oral history publications. The book is a collection of personal histories from lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people who have worked in or used mental health services on Merseyside.

The publication was delivered in both printed and electronic formats.

We were asked by the Scottish company Gener8 Power to design and build their new website. The company was expanding and needed a new online presence to better showcase their new range of environmental focused energy products.

The site features an interactive Google based map of their UK based installations to date.

Coldlight were commissioned by Barnardos and Mersey Care to develop the final bi annual report for the The Family Support Worker – Community Mental Health Teams and Children’s Centres Project. The report formalised the findings and outcomes of the 6 month programme, highlighting the journey of the pilot and focussing on lessons learned and recommendations for the future. Coldlight worked closely to both organisations’ graphic design brand guidelines, utilising colour schemes and typography from both to produce a clear and ‘on-brand’ bi annual report.

The report was delivered both in print and interactive electronic formats.

Coldlight have just developed and launched a new website for the Jorvik Hotel in York. This boutique hotel wanted an online presence that reflected its unique accommodation and service. The site is built on an open source content management system, which allows the hotel staff to update information regarding special offers and events quickly and without cost and is designed to work across both static and mobile devices.

Alan Smith, Managing Director of Printxchange said:

In combination with this, our new extended range of cross media marketing services meant that our branding and our online presence needed to be refreshed.
