Celebrating Birmingham’s Independent Retailers

Today, Birmingham’s shopping streets will become home to a unique open-air exhibition, celebrating the city’s independent retailers. Working with Retail Birmingham a team of people including photographer Steve Gerrard, the team at Rewired and us here at 383 Project have been working on an exhibition, brochure and outdoor advertising to be seen across the city centre.

Being responsible for the fantastic photos there’s more to read over on Steve’s site as well as the official press release on Rewired’s site.

Our involvement has been predominantly on the accompanying brochure, map and outdoor advertising to help promote the campaign (more images to follow).

The Celebrate Independents exhibition launches today at High Street and New Street Birmingham, and runs until the end of the month. A special fashion show featuring Independent Retailers will take place at Radisson SAS Hotel, supported by Harvey Nichols, on Wednesday 8 July.

Keep Calm and…

Combining a real life phenomenon and an internet phenomenon seemed a fitting tribute.

Urban Pie Tees

We’ve just designed a batch of tees for Urban Pie. Since Urban Pie opened in Birmingham it’s become really popular and there’ll soon be another store opening in Leicester. The tees will be worn by staff and also be made available for purchase online.

Cardboard everywhere

We’ve recently moved offices (pictures coming soon) and so this amazing cardboard installation from Norwegian architecture firm Fantastic Norway resonated. Unfortunately the volume of boxes in our office is far less picturesque so posting these will suffice until we get the studio tidy! Found via booooooom.com
