Remembering Together East Lothian Trails

Artibrand worked with the Remembering Together East Lothian Team to create 6 trail maps, along with zinc rubbing posts, free standing signs, downloadable digital maps and a printed fold out map.

Steve Kirkpatrick worked closely with the team, which comprised of 2 lead artists, East Lothian Council and a variety of partners associated to each walk. Apart from creating the maps, Steve illustrated a selection of flora and fauna, which you are likely to see on each trail. These are represented on each map and on zinc rubbing posts at the start of the trails.

Forum for the Future Annual Report

Artibrand designs another annual report for Forum of the Future, working closely with their Mumbai and London offices.

The styling is as per previous editions, with this years theme: “we chose to deepen our focus on energy, food, and the purpose of business; to supercharge our futures work to illuminate positive visions and ways to build resilience and prepare for change; and to maximise our convening power to bring diverse actors together and co-create pathways to get us there quicker”.

Preston Tower and Gardens

Artibrand worked closely with heritage consultant Lyndsey Clark, client East Lothian Council and a team of partners (NTS, HES, local community, contractors, architects) to create a first phase of interpretation solutions at Preston Tower and Gardens, Prestonpans, East Lothian. It’s been a busy and satisfying 18 months on this project to date and we’re looking forward to continue into the second phase of the project.

The solutions to date include: lectern boards, contemplation area, heritage trail with zinc rubbing plaques, interpretation masterplan and a host of marketing material.

Borrowstounness simulated stained glass

Local buildings were researched along with images of the towns heritage (coal, steam and shipping) and a skyline was created set against a sunset sky. The foreground displays some of the water birds you might see along the shorefront at Bo’ness: Oyster Catcher, Ringed Plover, Curlew and Cormorant.

This particular design is purely based on flat colours, although the process allows continuous tone (eg. watercolour texture or even a photograph). Where there’s white in the finished design, this will be clear on the end result, allowing light to shine through.
