Bushy at War

The Royal Parks had a limited spend for this 24 page booklet telling the vital part Bushy Park played during the lead up to D-Day. Imagery was supplied as original archive photographic prints, photocopies and many precious original items. We teased the salient facts from a well documented history to create a simple narrative // The camouflage used by British paratroopers was perfect for a background image on the cover design and also suited the ‘utility grade’ recycled stock.

Grow Apprenticeship Programme

GROW is the Royal Parks apprenticeship scheme to recruit its future gardeners // The project was printed in a combination of offset litho and silk screen on kraft paper to achieve a ‘seed packet’ aesthetic // The poster was designed to have flexibility of use on notice boards where space could be an issue.

LOC

Corporate Literature

Offshore and Shipping are the two divisions of LOC, a multinational marine engineering and troubleshooting group // In a year-long project chacha were commissioned to create an identity adaptable for each of the eight countries of operation and apply it to a wide range of items including literature – now in its tenth year of unchanged reprint.

Queen Mary’s Gardens

Commemorative Brochure

Queen Mary’s Gardens in The Regent’s Park is a very special place, famed worldwide for it’s rose collections // To celebrate its 75th anniversary chacha was commissioned to design a commemorative brochure // Fine bible paper was french folded to exploit it’s translucent qualities, the result as delicate as petals. The booklet was hand stitched with red thread and protected by a screen printed outer slip-case.

FUSE arts event

Chacha were commissioned to produce branding, marketing collateral, web site and signage for The Royal Parks’ FUSE event // Aimed at young people between the ages of 13-19, FUSE introduced and encouraged engagement in a multitude of creative and artistic platforms // Workshops with a teenage focus group ensured our work had engagement with the target audience. Strong colours, bold typography and illustration were the key elements striking a chord with the young people // Feedback from participants was unequivocally positive and almost certainly ensures a repeat festival next year.

Annual Report: My Park Is...

The wide variety of park users and activities was what TRP was keen to highlight with this year’s annual report // Chacha conceived the title ‘My park is’, allowing each of the editorial spreads to explore a different aspect of the eight parks from various visitors’ points of view // This really highlighted the breadth and flexibility of the parks as a hub for the surrounding communities and visitors alike.

Knight Frank

Information Pack

Knight Frank were responsible for leasing several heritage listed buildings in central London parks // Chacha designed the required literature - information packs on private properties and invitations to tender for commercial leases // A classic modernist typographic style with a limited (but striking) colour palette highlighted the magnificent architectural features of the buildings // Photography and site drawings also by chacha.
