The countdown to christmas begins!

The next Autumn/winter directory is out now featuring our photography and graphic design :-) We designed and styled 8 spreads for Christmas gifting, ranging from gifts for boys and girls, to gifts for pets. We had to have strong will power not to eat all the chocolate gifts that we photographed! Designing kid pages is always fun because of the freedom to use bright colours and fun illustrations. It was a sunny hot day when were photographing, which was very strange, I think the web designers downstairs thought we'd lost our minds slightly when we started bringing decorated christmas trees into the building in July! We had a selection of well-behaved little models who seemed more interested in the toys than the camera (which was certainly an advantage). The pet models we had in were very well trained, including the cat, although when it disappeared under the sofa we were a bit worried (no pets were harmed in the making of this catalogue!). You can view the full range of christmas gifts on their website, or order the new Next directory.
