When De Montfort University based up in sunny Leicestershire, came to the late night salon asking for some lively and fun Student Video Diaries to be filmed, we were only too happy to get the crew together and spend some time up north getting our film on. We have produced four films in the series including the post prod and intro animations and they can all be seen by clicking onto the link Student Video Diaries

Well here’s your chance, click here to go and view the website, which was lovingly sculpted by the late night salon.

Our good friends over at Lizzie B Design, decided that they wanted to show some of their beautiful work to the whole world. What better way than via a shiny new website, a flash based site with a bespoke content management system, that did what any good design site should do and that is show off the work beautifully.
If you are looking for beautiful book design then why not visit her site, by clicking on the image below.

There are cheers rising from across the land, as people type thelatenightsalon into their web browsers. For a boutique London design agency has finally launched its new site. creative director Toria Jaymes has this to say of the new site:
“I’m proud the launch of our new site is here and finally live for the worlds hungry eyes to see. Our new home page has some nice updateable components. With the features sections nice iPhone sensory style “slide and grab” and our main viewers screen set to feature animation and film and focus on current exciting projects and will always remain on rotation so won’t become stale. I’m pleased to say we kept the rest of the site nice and easy to navigate and fluid. So viewing our work and creative projects is as simple as scrolling on through with no annoying click throughs. I’m a firm believer in letting the work speak for itself. What we didn’t want to be was fussy and excessive. Hope you like it. x”

So this was a piece of work we were asked to do for our friends over at Stanley Tools UK, a global company turning over billions every year and dealing with some pretty big players in the tool market. The challenge, was to produce a Direct Mail campaign that would fit seamlessly with the incumbent agency’s “Get a Man a Man’s present this Christmas” idea, that would be sent out to all of the buyers and general important people for companies like Homebase, B&Q, Travis Perkins etc to highlight the consumer ad campaign .
So we thought what better way to get their attention than actually sending them an early Christmas present of suitable tackiness!!! After trawling for truly dodgy Christmas gifts!! And we found loads, the final one that was chosen was a suitably pathetic musical tie, so we created some swing tags to catch their attention, individually wrapped them up and sent them on their way.
The campaign was such a success that requests for more of the DM pieces came flooding through the doors from the buyers.
Have a look at some of the other ideas that were produced by clicking on the Keep Reading Link, the DM peices were also accompanied with an e-flyer.

After the success of the Pipemania website we were asked to create a fully functioning copy of the game, but in Flash. It would be used to help spread the word of Pipemania to the masses and also act as a demonstration of the actual game if you click on the floating barrel in the website. It was an interesting and fun challenge for us as we had to mimic the game exactly.

Well following on from our last post, another large past time that everyone at the late night salon has is drinking! So we were chosen by Weatheroak Hill Brewery to produce their branding for the brewery and their designs for 3 of their finest ales. Being a design agency based in London we had loads of great old pubs to visit for some inspiration so have a look at what we came up with!
We have heard on the grapevine that CAMRA were very impressed and apparently there is an unwritten rule that if a beer badge has an animal on it it sells, so lets hope that’s the case.

Well with our Creative Director Toria Jaymes being a surf girl at heart. What better way for a london design agency to get back to the beach with a design for a new surfboard for Animal.
The board is out there to try and encourage more girls to pick up a surf board, head out back and become one with the sea. Unfortunately these are only concepts so you won’t be sea-ing them any time soon.

Well with the recent dump of snow that we have had in the UK this week, it triggered our memory to share with you all the Christmas message that we put together to send to everyone in London and beyond. In true design agency style we didn’t just want to send a picture in an email, but to do something a bit more creative. So we came up with this little number, let me take you through it….
First the lucky recipients received an email that looked a little something like this.

If you go back a few posts you may have seen the state of the art Malachi-Island website we did for the Malachi Trust. Incorporating the very latest in Flash based technology and artificial intelligence. What you may not have seen is the Branding that we did for the site, aimed at a youth audience of between 5 and 11 year olds, it was produced to be fun and friendly. After producing the branding and site we are now Malachi’s favourite London based Design Agency.
