"Parking in bus stops is just wrong"

Smith Creative of Newcastle were commissioned to produce advertising that would communicate the message that parking in bus stops is wrong and potentially dangerous.

The Nexus campaign aims to reduce the amount of parking in bus stops, by making people aware of the problems their actions could cause other people. It's running during January and February 2010, on Adshels (posters in bus shelters), the back of buses, on Metro Radio and in selected car parks.

The final witty and attention grabbing advertising concept was developed by the team at Smith Creative who then approached the studio to shoot the required images.

The images had to be simple and fit very defined formats to ensure that as the buses go by the message can be communicated in an efficient manner.

The team at the shoot for the campaign consisted of Smith Creative, Philip Hunton Photography, Laura J Brown (Makeup Artist) and the talented models.

Using several car parts, duck tape, the talent of the models and vision of the creative team we produced images that were simple and communicated the clever message effectively.

This commission was a good illustration of how the studio can adapt to meet your exact requirements.

At the Opera...

The studio was recently approached by Opera North regarding their forthcoming production of Ruddigore, Gilbert and Sullivan’s witty burlesque Victorian melodrama.

Opera North are England's award-winning National Opera Company who produce exciting and acclaimed opera, classical music and contemporary artistic projects and with a strong education focus.


The marketing team at ON had spotted a shot by Philip Hunton Photography of Lead Guitarist and Singer Paul Daly from a band called the Vaudeville Class, a North East based Blues/Rock Band, and felt it summed up one of the key characters in their production.

Paul was thrilled that the Opera company were interested in using the image and so the studio supplied them with the picture which now appears on the programme cover for the production.

The Vaudeville Class are a Blues/Rock band who are building a good following in the UK and have recently been played on BBC Radio Newcastle and Spark FM. They are also set to play a gig at the popular Newcastle night spot The Cluny, supporting The Band of Skulls who were a featured on the recent Twilight: New Moon movie soundtrack.

The production of Ruddigore is set to open in the winter of 2010, full details will be available on their website: http://www.operanorth.co.uk

Booked!

Thats right, a US based publisher recently contacted the studio and were interested in publishing this shot of the stunning Frankii Wilde in a new book.

The book will be focused on the Modern Pin-up and will be published in spring. Although initially only available for purchase in the US, the publisher hopes to extend the distribution to Europe and the UK soon after.

A full review and news on where to get the book will be published shortly after it arrives in the studio!
