I am sure this poster strikes a chord in all of us! Steve Price had mentioned a Charity that had not got back to him on an offer he had made to them, so I remembered that I had recently been reading an interesting Blog from a designer on the subject of Autism, they were also helping raise money for someone with Autism. It was then just a simple case of Steve meet Lucy and as Lucy says; 'et voila!'

Lucy Brown is cycling 54 miles to raise money For Jack Armstrong and his parents to help aid them in his continued development. Lucy's studio is based just down the road from Jack and his family in Cheshire. She became fascinated with autism in 2008 and continues to research, both through written and experimental work, the many parallels between the visual thought of designers and the characteristics of Autism. "To be ale to see and understand Jack's condition is something very close to my studio heart. Therefore, to be able to also raise awareness and help his family financially through many miles of cycling and the sales of such an apt poster is nothing short of brilliant."

Jack Armstrong
"Jack Armstrong was born on 19th October 2003. He was a happy and normal baby, although his speech was delayed and at the age of two started speech therapy. Aged three and a half, returning from a family holiday, Jack regressed overnight: he no longer played with his toys, pulled at grass and string, lost all the words he had learnt; he no longer had eye contact and didn’t want to be near people. It took over another year before a diagnosis of Autism was made and Jack started at a special needs school.

At the time of Jack’s fifth birthday, his parents, Natalie and Mark, learnt about the Sonrise programme and, determined to do all they could to help Jack, they converted their garage into a Sonrise play therapy room, recruited a team of volunteers who work to join Jack in his world so as to make him feel comfortable and excited so that he wants to join in with our world and develop social interaction.

Today, thanks to the many hours work from family and volunteers and having just returned from our first trip to the Autism Centre in America, Jack has great eye contact and is making huge strides with his speech and with contact. The aim now is to attend the another Intensive Sonrise course to ensure that Jack’s development continues. Every penny donated will go towards this. Thankyou for your help."

D&AD Programme – NB: Studio – 19097

D&AD Introduced us to NB: Studio to do the tickets for the awards evening and after such a successful collaboration, we were really looking forward to what we would be asked to produce for the actual awards evening.
-
This is the D&AD Awards Ceremony Programme. Cover stock was the black rubbery Plike from GF Smith with a lovely Mowhawk text sheet, also from the GF Smith range. Having foil blocked the previous project we had too many images to foil again so we screen printed the cover and printed the text lithographically.
-
The cover really worked well, a little tricky but with some care and attention came out beautifully. The cover folded back on its self wrapping around the programme to give a clean spine, when opened it revealed the gorgeous white stitches - this really helped sharpen the lead of this pencil!
-
NB: Studio were great throughout the project and really trusted us, especially with the fact there was no time to proof any of the processes. NB: Studio were under pressure, time was tight but no compromises were taken and the programmes arrived in time, and looking great!

Thermo-chromic Ink, this has been a real favourite over the years, always really effective and gets loads of great feed back, this really does engage the recipient. I think this is best left to your imagination, the only thing to add is the ink is very matt and we have learnt to always use a barrier over this ink, a laminate or a spot UV varnish! this will prevent any unsightly scuff marks.
