Congratulations to David Wayman on the launch of his new shop on the Avenue in Spinningfields. We popped down to have a nosey on Friday night where it was bursting at the seams with potential clients.

We were all very excited to see Santa in the office today. He popped in to say hello and give us all a gift for being good boys and girls this year. Thanks Santa!

On Halloween the lovely people at North Tea Power allowed us to exhibit our posters. All 8 prints were on display. The project has gone down really well so far, so a big thank you to all that have bought a print and made lots of money for charity. It’s not to late to buy one and are available to buy online at the Little Print Shop of Horrors

Our work is featured in Viction:ary’s new publication Logology 2. We of course love the book as it has our work in and it’s yellow, but it’s also full of lots of lovely logos and icons. Go buy yourself a copy!

Here at Spark Towers we have been getting into the ‘spirit’ of Halloween by recreating our favourite scary film posters, all in the name of charity. From Steven Spielberg’s 1975 shark eating massacre, Jaws, to serial killer movie Saw, each member of our team has created a poster. The limited edition posters are available to purchase online and all proceeds will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust

I’ve had a lovely experience at Creative Spark over the past 4 weeks and I am extremely grateful to the entire team for making this experience priceless. I was chuffed to accept a 2 week placement from Andy and Jane after I’d sent in a handmade portfolio and been to a short interview to talk through my work. This is the first placement I’ve ever had so I had no idea what to expect, but I would highly recommend anyone try and get into Creative Spark by any means possible because this placement was such a winner. The team are great, they have all the time in the world for you, they genuinely care about your needs and wants. The clients are brilliant, I was really excited to be involved in live briefs set by amazing companies. I’ve been taught some vital tips on software, I’ve learnt a little bit about how the industry really works and I’ve walked away with several pieces of work I’m more than chuffed to put into my portfolio, what more could I ask for?
Thanks Creative Spark!

Congratulations Mike & Katrina on the arrival of little baby Jenson! So cute!!

In the spirit of ‘I HEART MCR’ day, the team enjoyed a fun (doughnut-filled) Friday!
