Amersham Museum Website Launch

by Sam Strudwick, September 6th 2013

Everything in this modern age is updated and upgraded so quickly I can barely keep up! (There’ll be a new smart phone out by the time you read this). Keeping current is important! Now with the new look website launched, Grain have brought Amersham Museum’s site into an updated, clean, functional and user-friendly space, with the history of what started as a small market town…

by Christoph Geppert, August 21st 2013

Kenwood kitchen equipment for creating delicious food is getting a helping hand from Grain Creative with their branding. We are very excited about working with Kenwood and therefore wanted to share this news with you. More soon.  

Tash’s portrait of us – and Grain

by Madelyn Postman, August 11th 2013

From our intern Natasha Ingall, also with Grain from January to June. Grain Creative are not just a team of incredibly talented and professional designers, they are also winners of a Tash Star (similar to Michelin but better). Travelling up and out of the depths of High Wycombe once a week is a treat in itself, but spending the day at Grain Creative is some…

Robyn’s Thought

by Madelyn Postman, August 11th 2013

From our intern Robyn Saunders, who joined Grain from January to June this year. From the moment I stepped through the doors at Grain for my interview I was welcomed with a huge cup of tea and greeted by two happy, inviting people. On this cold, wet and windy day, Madelyn and Christoph made me feel comfortable and at ease, despite the fact that I…

Revisit: a (young) Brit’s impressions on logos

by Madelyn Postman, August 8th 2013

March 2012 feels like long ago…recently I was thinking back on our response from across the pond to Adam Ladd’s brilliant video – our own (then) 5-year-old’s impressions on brandmarks. To date it has been viewed 42,794 times! Wowsers. Original soundtrack by Anthony Postman.

Victor & Herschel’s ‘Mission to Mars’ beats the average textbook

by Sam Strudwick, July 31st 2013

With the likes of iPads and Kindles, the book is evolving — in fact, the word ‘book’ doesn’t necessarily refer to the physical item as much as it does to the story itself. Victor & Herschel’s Mission to Mars, invented by the students at the International Community School in London, has been designed for the most current platforms for reading and learning: iPads and online.…

Brand vs Brand

by Sam Strudwick, July 24th 2013

Recently I have been thinking about television advertising. It was a particular John Lewis Christmas advert that had got me started. How some adverts are brilliant pieces of convincing branding. More than an annoying jingle and silly mascot. On this train of thought I was thinking about the brands behind some of the television adverts I could remember. And started to consider why certain brands…

The bare grain of your brand

by Juli Ferguson, July 12th 2013

Your product is the epitome of quality, your service is second to none, you’ve invested a great deal of time, love and hard-earned money to creating the perfect brand identity. Your identity is unmistakably unique to your business and conveys every essence of what you deliver, and how you want your clients to see you – high-end quality in everything that you do. So what…

Busier now more than ever? Student, intern and butcher

by Sam Strudwick, July 8th 2013

Students can often be tarnished with the brush of being layabouts. I can’t speak for all of them, but generally I’d like to disagree. And I’ve heard my fair share of this from parents, working friends without the commitments of being in university, complaining about long holidays and part time working weeks for us. However I often feel like there are not enough hours in…

Branding & design update

by Madelyn Postman, June 14th 2013

Summer is nearly here, the perfect time to let you know what we’ve been up to here at Grain Creative. Apart from lots of lovely projects for our clients, we’ve been creating focus for Grain itself. Looking at our clients, our design and our own interests, we find a common thread of entrepreneurial thinking. That’s how we create big ideas from small beginnings together. Amersham…

The Amersham & Wycombe College website is live!

by Madelyn Postman, May 3rd 2013 Amersham & Wycombe College website

We’re so excited…we just can’t hide it! We just launched the website for Amersham & Wycombe College. We got to know the College well during the website design and development, and we are impressed by its hands-on, ‘work-ready’ ethos, and its industry links to places like the Next Gen Skills Academy, Pinewood Studios and the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy. The new website focuses on the…

Tesco naming: Pro Formula hair, bath & body

by Madelyn Postman, May 3rd 2013

We are delighted to announce the launch of Pro Formula – a name that we recently created for Tesco for their new hair, bath and body range. ProFormula is to health and beauty as Tesco Finest is to the food category. Pitched to the specialist toiletries consumer, the new brand name offers a personal, indulgent, feel-better factor, whilst retaining harmony with the Tesco brand and…
