We’re currently designing a “new look” edition of the CB Richard Ellis magazine Sans Frontières. In difference, to the previous light and irreverent style of the magazine (which suited the then tongue-in-cheek tone) we’ve created a more structured and grid based composition, to better suit a new and more refined approach to the content of the magazine. We’ll publish samples to the website as soon it’s gone to press next month…

We’re pleased to announce the launch of a website for fashion manufacturer Citilites. After close consultation with the company, to understand their business requirements, the website includes a bespoke (CMS) area where team members can upload images of their latest collection month on month for retailers’ to discover their latest collection.

The latest issue of the CBRE magazine has now been printed (in an environmentally sound glossy stock) and is hopefully entertaining CBRE employees across Europe. Here are a couple of sample spreads we think typify the spirit of the new edition.

June has proved busier than ever. Aside from finalising the current issue of the CBRE magazine, we’ve been commissioned to design a compendium to support PR campaigns for cancer sufferers (to raise awareness of treatment, activities, social groups and beyond). More details and information about this project will be uploaded to the Mavo portfolio shortly.

Our interactive department are currently developing an interactive application for Investec Private Bank. News of this application will follow soon after the launch of the app. We’re also delighted to be designing and engineering a new website for Value Partnership (see previous months news for other information). This is an ongoing project which is due to go live in October of this year.

We’re currently putting the finishing touches to the Value Partnership brand style guide and marketing materials. For a little peek at just some of their new brand media we’ve attached a few samples below.

The next edition of CBRE’s internal corporate magazine will be printed in June. We’ll be sure to upload some samples spreads to the Mavo portfolio once all the design has been completed.

The last month has been busy designing a brand identity (refresh) for business consultants Value Partnership, and mixed print and interactive media for EMM International (a media auditing and management consultancy). Both projects will continue into the interactive arena, as we work towards designing portfolio style websites for each company.

Earlier in the month we had our part to play in art directing a little April fool’s campaign for Alton Towers. In case any of you were duped, Alton Towers will not be the first to launch a “rollercoaster for dogs”. That said, our creative relationship with illustrator John Ley proved fruitful in fooling a few unsuspecting readers out there…

After designing their corporate identity and stationery, Mavo are proud to announce the launch of the (Cooke, Young and Keidan) CYK website. The project also serves as a good example of successful creative collaboration between our print and web design departments. For further information about this project, please visit our interactive portfolio.

Mavo have also helped create a promotional campaign for Gaming / Tech company Testronic. In the short term, a brochure (with handy inserts at the back) was produced, but perhaps more importantly, Mavo helped move the company’s existing brand graphics forward, so that a more dynamic style could be used across future marketing campaigns.

More recently we’ve been given the go-ahead to design and develop a (flash based) interactive widget to help promote one of the UK’s leading banks accounts for Investec. News of this will follow next month.

In the print department we’ve been busy putting the finishing touches to a marketing brochure for Testronic (the renowned games testing co.) and now we’re looking forward to beginning sketching and brainstorming the new brief for CBRE’s in-house magazine.

Our interactive department have been equally busy engineering websites for Citilites and law firm CYK which are to be launched ahead of schedule, before the end of this month. While e-LPT’s website already has lift off! For all those eager Mavo afficionados here’s a sneaky peak of the home page design that Citilites have happily given the thumbs up to.

The new year is proving busier than ever for Mavo. We’re currently designing and developing websites for Cooke, Young & Keidan (legal), E-LPT (lighting/electrics), Citilites (fashion) and Pimento (marketing/events). We’ll of course let you know about progress with each of those projects in the coming weeks, but for now we’ll leave you with a little taster of a photo montage we recently designed for all the staff at Alton Towers.
