To promote the New Soham Decorating Centre, for fellow Royal Warrant holders Witham Oil & Paint, we created an eye-catching Mailer.

We initially carried out a site visit and extensive research into the Witham Group. We presented a number of creative concepts exploring different possibilities for functionality and usage. Taking into consideration the target audience, we wanted to engage with customers both old and new.

The final 'Paint Swatch' design echoed a 'paint chart' style. Illustrations were proposed and chosen over photography for this project, giving a unique approach for the product imagery.

We retained the Witham's existing branding with a strong colour palette and overall 'British' style. The mix of the metal screw finishing and white illustrations lend themselves perfectly to this contemporary yet traditional style. Both ourselves and the client were very happy with the finished result.

Here is what was written about farrows, you can also read about our award by clicking here:

"Norwich graphic design firm Farrows impressed the judges with its innovative use of 'down time'. When members of the firm's 18-strong team are not working on projects for clients, their time is made available to charities and community groups. Annually, the firm is able to donate £70,000-worth of work designing logos, publicity materials and goods for sale. The firm also hit on the idea of taking its clients' surplus promotional materials, ranging from plastic cups to mountain bikes, and making them available for charities to auction. Thirty pallet-loads of goods have been stored by the firm and passed on to charities. Director Nick Farrow is also giving business advice to charities, notably helping the Hamlet Centre Trust for disabled children to access £50,000 of extra funding."

The results will be announced at the Gala Dinner Awards Ceremony on the 9th October... Fingers crossed

We were asked to photograph the Thames Barge Race for The Company of Watermen and Lightermen last Saturday.

The Thames Barge Race is a race in which teams row the old style barges along the Thames from Greenwich to Westminster Bridge. The race is like taking a trip back in time, as this method of rowing barges, is the way the Watermen would have traditionally worked on the Thames. 

This year the weather was good, possibly a bit too hot, as there was a strong wind and a difficult tide.

The winners completed the race in just under two hours; a pretty good feat, watching the race you realise that rowing a steel barge is seriously hard work.
