The new Exeter Phoenix events brochure has just hit the presses and it’s the result of a lot of hard work and a completely fresh approach. When we started working with Exeter Phoenix a few years back we transformed their ‘DL’ events leaflet into an A5 landscape booklet, giving much more space to the visiting artists and performers therein. Well, this time we’ve gone one better. Not only have we reviewed the entire Exeter Phoenix brand architecture (always an interesting challenge when working with so many passionate, creative people and departments!), but we’ve also created a new sub-brand structure, we’ve designed a new visual identity and we’ve transformed the events brochure into a quarterly magazine format.

The brochure contents has been reordered to make the information more logical and therefore more accessible, while the clean, fresh style lends itself neatly to the creativity, vibrancy and friendliness of the organisation.

Exeter Phoenix is one of our design team’s favourite clients. Their work always provides an interesting mix of challenge, creativity, flexibility and style, and there was a surprising amount of ignorance, even locally, about all the exciting events, music, art, performance, cinema and education going on within those (slightly imposing) four walls. Since then we haven’t been there once without seeing something amazing! Check our their website for a closer look or better still, download the brochure!

Has it been a year already? Last night DNA once again attended ECO (Exeter Contemporary Open) at Exeter Phoenix. ECO is a national platform for emerging contemporary artists and aims to reflect themes and concerns in current practice over a broad range of disciplines. DNA were proud to sponsor the New Media category and awarded the prize to Hayley Lock, whose striking work has become the poster image for the exhibition. Congratulations to Hayley and Exeter Phoenix for putting on such an enjoyable event. ECO runs from 17 Sep – 4 Nov, so be sure to drop by if you can. Here’s a nice smiley pic of Rich with winner, Hayley Lock.
