Studio people specialise in building high-quality, custom recording studios. They have worked with a variety of prestigious clients including educational establishments, The BBC and band The Libertines.
The brief
Studio People approached Clear to create a professional, portfolio-style brochure to showcase their work in the studio-building industry. They wanted it to be a high-quality ‘coffee table’ brochure to display the studios they’ve built, with stunning imagery and testimonials from their team. The aim was to make it so high quality (more like a magazine) that it would be left in studios and other relevant establishments to advertise their services, reach their target audience and not be thrown away.
Our strategy
The main design feature of the brochure is the use of imagery. Extending the images over the page fold increases their impact and creates a nice visual link between each page. The Studio People wanted a sleek look to the cover so we decided to emboss and foil the logo in the centre, creating a striking premium look. To achieve this, work was required to simplify the logo so that it worked effectively in one colour. To create the premium feel required, we reached out to paper aficionados G.F. Smith. For the internal pages, we went with a paper stock that felt smooth and luxurious but also was able to render images naturally and with vibrant colours. The paper for the cover needed to be high quality and rugged, to extend the life of the brochure, as it would be mostly displayed in public areas of universities and music studios. We chose a stock called Plike in a deep black that emphasised the foiled logo.
The results
The collaboration with Studio People resulted in a stunning A5 landscape brochure with a soft touch cover and it exceeding expectations. Utilizing captivating imagery and sleek design, the brochure showcases Studio People's exceptional work in building high-quality recording studios. Strategic embossing and foiling on the cover, along with luxurious paper stocks, enhance its premium feel. Intended for display in studios and relevant establishments, its quality rivals that of other coffee table companions, earning it a permanent place within the music industry. This brochure was designed to endure, advertising Studio People's services and reinforcing their reputation as creators of high-end recording studios.
Kind Words
Over the years we have created some stunning studios, and decided we wanted something equally as stunning to showcase them in. Clear design created a level even above that. Leanne was perfect to work with, she brought new ideas to the table we would never have thought of, and was patience with us when we brought changes to the table and advised us brilliantly, it wouldn’t be the product it is without her. We cannot recommend clear design enough, professional, creative and easy to work with. Thank you so much!
