Industry news
CLIENT:
Pebble International
PROJECT:
New, industry specific periodical for the membership of The Textile Institute
BRIEF:
Produce design visuals and a style template for a new publication aimed at the membership, followed by quarterly production
BACKGROUND:
Our client had worked for, and with, The Textile Institute over many years. In June 2005, the TI publications committee felt a new publication was required that would be included as part of the membership’s annual subscription package.
This magazine would be less technical than the TI’s other publication (Journal Of The Textile Institute), include regional and international news items, as well as articles concerning the textile industry in general.
Our client was appointed as editor of the new periodical. She approached Creative Consortium for ideas about how to create a general look for the magazine. The brief included establishing some style guidelines for the front cover as well as a template which would separate a “TI news” section from general articles.
Solution:
Creative Consortium came up with a fresh distinctive style template and typeface for the magazine. This remained in place until a restyle, also commissioned from Creative Consortium, in January 2015.
Creative Consortium produces the artwork for every edition, working in close liaison with the editor. In addition, Creative Consortium are responsible for organising proofing and printing every edition of the magazine.
A digital online version was later introduced for which Creative Consortium provides the content in a format that can be accessed by subscribers to the TI website.
Results:
to be a vital part of the TI's membership package
