Film Festival Locarno to present the 2008 poster

Film Festival Locarno unveiled the poster for this year’s events at the Solothurn Film Festival this month. The presentation has become something of an annual tradition, presenting the key visual motif of the years events, which will be incorporated in the Festival’s advertising, merchandising, and information, and marking the beginning of a series of events that will see the Festival touring Berlin, Cannes, Rome, London and Los Angeles ahead of opening its own event in early August.

In an extension of last year’s major re-branding exercise, Jannuzzi Smith has created a poster featuring ‘Chota’, the new symbol of the Festival. Chota lives in a zoological sanctuary in the Oxfordshire countryside. Blind at birth, she was rejected by her mother, but under the care of a watchful keeper she regained her sight and now thrives – by turn playful and dangerous, always elegant.

"New Media Design" by R Doust and T Austin

The book explains how graphic designers use computers as a medium to combine word, image, motion, sound and user interaction for the internet, TV, promos, games, animation, CDs and exhibitions. Mapping the spectrum of career opportunities created by digital technologies in the industry, it also describes the attitudes, skills and knowledge needed to enter the profession and captures the flavour and excitement of working in this field. The authors’ broad perspective – taking in everything from photography and illustration to motion, environmental and wearable graphics – describes the growing importance of new media graphic designers in developing new experiences for the information and entertainment industries across the globe. Sections on online design and imaginary worlds – including virtual worlds, digital FX and games – map out recent and future technological developments and their implications for the designers of today and tomorrow.

Dotlinepixel | thoughts on cross-media design

Front and back covers of Dotlinepixel, by Michele Jannuzzi and Richard Smith (part of the Directions series published by GCE), which outlines our approach to cross-media design. The book was hailed by Loop, AIGA’s journal of interaction design as “a gem... a wellspring of some of the most innovative thinking and graphic communication found anywhere... a timely manifesto for a new century”. It has featured in a number of exhibitions, including the European Design Biennial at the Design Museum in London, and Criss&Cross, a worldwide touring exhibition sponsored by Pro Helvetia. The cover was also selected for inclusion in the prestigious D&AD Annual.

Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects new name and look

Jannuzzi Smith has developed a new corporate identity for architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. The project included a review and changes to the practice name, logotypes and other brand collateral, brochures, website, posters, signage, and other promotional material.

The practice – employing over 100 architects – was founded in 1978 by Richard Feilden and Peter Clegg and “... have grown quietly over the past ten years to become a major force in British architecture and, while their architecture cannot be stylistically pigeon-holed, it generally exudes a certain Britishness – well-crafted, contextual, respectful and gentle on the eye. They have also been environmentally conscious right from the start, way before it became expedient to be green.” Jeremy Till, Professor of Architecture, Sheffield University.

"Informal" by Cecil Balmond with Jannuzzi Smith

“Informal has a typographic elegance that makes it look like no previous engineering book…its glimpses of a hidden order of things, of the occult properties of numbers and shapes, suggest it could be the next Brief History of Time – but with pictures.” Deyan Sudjic, The Observer

Switzerland celebrates the 60th anniversary of ...

The Swiss government agency Presence Switzerland – responsible for the coordination of Switzerland’s activities abroad – has appointed Jannuzzi Smith to develop a visual identity and communication programme to mark the 60th anniversary of its recognition of India as an independent state. Switzerland recognised India as a sovereign country when India gained independence in 1947. In 1948, the two countries signed a Treaty of Friendship, which can be regarded – from an Indian perspective – as the first bilateral agreement of this type. The 60th anniversary of the signing of this treaty by the two countries will be marked by celebrations in 2008, beginning in autumn 2007. The programme is to run until December 2010.
