It’s not often that dead animals can be described as beautiful.
As seen on It’s Nice That. 11.11.11
A friend of mine mentioned that he was going shooting at the weekend and as a passing comment I said if he managed to hit anything could he bring them in to our studio. As I was currently doing a whole series of ‘scanner art’ experimentation. (I have several series of scan art all with very different aesthetics, the Pheasants being one of these series of images. If you would like I can send a couple of others in different series for you to have a look at)
I have a fascination with the immediacy and haphazard nature of creating images using the traditional desktop scanner. The organic nature of the process is enjoyable with quite often mesmeric and beautiful results.
Anyway said friend duly turns up at our studio with a brace of pheasants, one male and female. I was stunned by the beauty and intricacy of their plumage. So I set about immortalising them, I think the results speak for themselves. There is a solemn yet peaceful beauty about them.
The first in a series of physical manifestations of the HarrimanSteel logo.
For the cover of our Ltd. edition magazine (run of 200) we created a one off fixed gear bike. A first in a series of physical installations representing the HarrimanSteel logo. Keep your eyes open for the next manifestation. Shots of the magazine will appear in our work section in the coming days…
Cheer me on!
Nick and Laura took on the 13.1 mile challenge running to the beat with 14 music stages along the way, including Calvin Harris and Annie Mac. Armed with their ‘Cheer Me On’ stickers, designed by none other than HarrimanSteel, they ran the course lapping up the support from spectators shouting their names.
The stickers were highly successful with thousands more wearing them to encourage support along the route.
Nike loved our ‘Cheer me on’ thought so much, that we were asked to design the retail windows and POS for Covent Garden Running Store using the stickers to display every Nike+ competitors name. We also created a ‘Cheer Me On’ message board for all Nike staff competitors to inspire support in their offices.
Anyone for tennis?
Yesterday we did a photo shoot in the heartlands of grass roots tennis. No not Wimbledon, but Hackney Downs. Keep an eye on our site, finished work soon to launch, coinciding with the latter stages of SW19.
Actually we do… And to celebrate we’ve placed April 1st themed posters all around town.
The poster campaign consists of 10 different headlines. Images of the ‘A’ boards in their various locations are used within emailers to clients, friends, family and people with nice hair.
We liked the idea of promoting something digital with something truly analogue, to the point where all of the posters were faithfully handwritten in the fattest marker pen we could find.
Nike and (Red) got together for Tied Together – a 24 hour relay in cities (New York, London, Milan, Berlin and Paris) to raise money.
HarrimanSteel were invited to be one of the 24 ambassadors on the London leg. Joined by Mr (Red) himself the Red Arrows flared their way through the streets of Shoreditch.
