Here’s a little video from the Lily Allen shoot, shot by Grazia Magazine

We’re all full of excitement at Creative Spark Towers as we’ve just come back from spending the day with the one and only Lily Allen!

We sent Neil and Andy to help her shoot the campaign with photographer Guy Farrow for her brand new jewellery line at the swanky Claridges Hotel in London.

We enjoyed a  tast of the celeb lifestyle, arriving first thing Monday morning to be swarmed by Paps, and then spent the day with Lily and her entorage consisting of Grimmy from BBC Radio One, and none other than the richest artist in the whole world, Damien Hirst!

The shoot was filmed by Grazia Magazine (see if you can spot Neil Art Directing in the background) and we were also joined by Vogue for a little while.

Once we were spent and had all the shots in the can, we enjoyed a spot of afternoon tea where Andy enjoyed the best scone he’d ever had in his life.

Just another day in the life at Creative Spark, then.

Keep an eye out for our next bout of celeb-spotting!

Last week saw our Work Placement’s Desk™ in use once more by the hands of Jamie Johnson, an aspiring young designer who’s currently at sixth form and looking at pursuing a career in the design and web industry, following in his father’s (Pete Johnson of AWA Manchester) creative footsteps. He got stuck into designing magazine and CD covers with an enthusiasm that should see him do very well in the future.

If you’d like to do a work placement with us yourself, please drop us an email with your details.

At Creative Spark there is a legend. The ancient knowledge is imparted from one designer to the next, whispered quietly over a crackling campfire on a cool midsummer night, of the heavenly delights available so near to the studio. On the Friday of the week past, weary from a hard morning of finger-breaking work, our party made the journey through the urban forest of Piccadilly in search of the source of this fabled treasure; Malmaison Manchester’s Brasserie. Their mystical steak was as succulent and nourishing as the folklore told, rejuvenating the team’s bodies and spirits for the afternoon ahead.
