How long before curiosity gets the better of a member of the public and they push the button? They may wish they hadn’t because what follows is unexpected to say the least!

Its actually the launch campaign for TNT in Belgium. TNT is a television channel whose strap line is ‘We Know Drama’.

They sure do if this short sting is anything to judge them by. We love it.

This time we’ve included iPad, iPhone and iPod touch sizes so you can have a Supreme desktop wherever you are. To download the latest designs just click here. Enjoy!

200 giant eggs have been strategically placed around London between Shrove Tuesday to Easter Sunday. The eggs have been exclusively designed by leading artists and designers including Sir Ridley Scott, Carnovsky, Diane Von Furstenberg, Mulberry, Bompas and Parr and many others. The event is also set to smash the Guinness World Records for the biggest ever Easter egg hunt.

‘The Fabergé Big Egg Hunt’ is also auctioning off these beautifully designed eggs to raise money for the charities. Some of them have already sold for ten’s of thousands of pounds, so you’ll have to be quick if you want bag yourself an Easter bargain! Check out the online auction here.

The challenge each year is to accurately reflect on the last 12 months financial performance to investors, key stakeholders and all concerned financial institutions, whilst also communicating the brand in a clear and creative way.

“For the third year in succession Supreme have gone above and beyond to produce a well-designed Report that makes light reading of a heavy document. In addition to the usual challenges, this year the team also had to contend with reduced timescales, increased wordcount and the need to track changes in Indesign for audit trail purposes. I just hope they still want to do it next year.” Julie Guppy, WSP Group Marketing

With the Olympics fast approaching, the programme is intended to get staff engaged in sporting activities to, as the strapline states; Get Fit. Have fun. Raise Money.

Working closely with internal communication experts Clarity Communication, we produced the branding, brochures, posters, exhibition displays and welcome packs.

Working closely with the team at WSP, Supreme produces Solutions 3 times a year. The magazine highlights all of the project news and major innovations at WSP over the last few months.

Its a simple online project management tool that our clients tell us they find invaluable. Collaboration is the name of the game these days and we regularly work with external consultants, copywriters, freelancers, specialist developers, photographers and clients that work from offices across the globe. Basecamp brings all of these people and resources together for a seamless experience. On this page we cover the basics in case you’re new to Basecamp or just want a brief introduction to the main features and tools.

1. Invitation to join Basecamp

If this is your first project in Basecamp you will receive an invitation email from us that looks something like the image above. It contains a link to register your username and password. Once you have completed this simple step you have full acccess to the project(s) relevant to you.

2. Basecamp overview

Once you’ve logged in you arrive at the dashboard which gives you a quick overview of the project you’re working on and shows all of the tools at your disposal. For complex projects you may well find you need the whole range of tools Basecamp offers, but for most projects we find the commonly used tools tend to be the ‘Messages’ board, the ‘To-Do’ area, the ‘Calendar’ and the ‘Files’ area. Below is a brief explanation of each of these areas.

3. Messages

On the message board you can add a range of content for general discussion. So for example a photographer could post three suggested images for use on say, the homepage of a website or the cover of a brochure. When posting the images he/she can select the people to send the message to, a discussion between these people can take place and an a solution arrived at with any relevant notes. The benefit of working this way as opposed to by email is that all communications, decisions, information and files are kept with the relevant project and not clogging up your inbox, scattered across servers and various mobile devices. This makes it easy to put your hands on what you need, when you need it.

4. To-Do lists

As the name would suggest this is a list of ‘To-Do’ actions that project participants can add to and assign to various project team members. It tracks these items as they become completed and has the facility to query any items with the author or open up the discussion to other team members. This proves invaluable on larger projects as it is a clear and straight-forward method to apply, track and check off revisions and changes.

5. Calendar

This is a very straight-forward online calendar. It allows you to insert events or milestones and assign them to the relevant team member. It warns you via your email or mobile device as events or milestones approach, making sure you don’t miss anything.

5. Files

This is where all project-related files are uploaded and tracked. You can alert anyone on the team that a new file has been added and its easy to stay on top of the most recent or relevant files. Older files can be archived and there’s a good ‘paper trail’ of what files have been added and what’s still missing.

As well as these features Basecamp has free apps for mobile devices which makes it easy to keep track of projects whilst on the move.

So that’s the basics of Basecamp. Hopefully it will help you get started but get in touch if you want a more detailed tour. Remember you can always access the Basecamp log-in screen from the footer link on our website.

So far we’ve conducted a messaging and brand workshop with the founding directors to help clarify and develop messaging platforms and brand assets such as a logo, signage and basic communication tools like business cards as well as the strapline ‘smart thinking. straight talking’.

Stage two of the process is to help develop SAFS’s online strategy and marketing materials to help push the business forward.

Marc Mylum, one of SAFS’s founder directors, had this to say about the process so far:

“Supreme have helped make sense of our varied ideas and thoughts and have helped turn them into tangible business strategies. All of this has been done with the minimum of fuss and in a language we can all understand, which is very refreshing.”

The Linotype machine (pronounced line-o-type because it produced one line of type at a time) had as big an impact on the distribution of information in its time as the internet has had in ours. It revolutionised the way type was set from a labour intensive, manual process to a more automated one that took a fraction of the time and enabled the faster production of printed literature. In its day it was a big deal.

The film is due for release in February and this excerpt from the official website explains why the producers made the film:

“The highly-skilled operators of the Linotype are in a battle against time. If their skills are not passed along to a new generation of operators, the machine will die completely. There is a small group of former operators that want to save the Linotype from the scrap yard, but some see this as a fruitless endeavor.

What place does the Linotype have in the age of new technology? Should the machine be shoved into a museum and left to rust? Why should anyone care about typography or the technology of communication? The film seeks to answer these questions.”

Can’t wait to see how they answer these questions! Here’s the official movie trailer:
