HoptonFurlongOnScreen02.png

Hopton and Furlong is a collaboration between Designer Goldsmiths Martin Hopton and Tracy Furlong. Working closely with the design team, Pluspurple was able to turn Hopton and Furlong's vision into reality; a website that reflects their own approach to design. A website with purity, simplicity and restraint, which allows the work and all its brilliant detail to shine. See the work

We are just back from organizing and managing a photo shoot in Switzerland for an optician chain. A couple of thousand photos later we were able to select some great shots for their forthcoming ad campaign. See the work

With the first few years of business behind them, 'Walde + Graf', an independent Swiss art publisher in Zürich, wanted to take their website to the next level. Pluspurple was tasked with creating a second generation bespoke CMS website that played to the strengths of the current Walde + Graf brand. The result is a beautifully designed, elegant website that has lifted the standing of the publisher, both in Switzerland and internationally. See the work

We are excited to launch the new website for Paul Borg Music. Paul Borg is one of the UK's leading producers, working for artists such as Sugababes, Girls Aloud and Busted.

It has only been a couple of months from idea to the launch of the new budget optician brand in Switzerland. Pluspurple developed the brand and took creative lead in the styling of the shops. We wish the Loft Optik team all the best and good business for the future. See the work

Purdy Hicks have planned another merry little Christmas party this year. With use of the raised thermography finish, Pluspurple was able to create a simple but striking invite for the London based Fine Art Gallery. See the work

Some times the most simple opjects nicely photographed and presented are just pure beauty. This colourful duct tape tower is a good example of just that. For some more lovely design see

Having just had a meeting at the Urania Observatory in Zürich - Switzerland, we played around with Google Earth to compare the view. Not bad, indeed. Although the bridge would be quite an exciting ride on Google Earth.

A simple letter A - 180 sheets of 80gsm paper at the size of 18.5 x 24cm. It is astounding what one can do with the most simple of products. We always enjoy work executed in subtly but brilliant manner. Jen Stark with her paper creations is another favourite of ours, indeed.

A lovely clean and simple website. It's from designers to designers to support the victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The website is built in a simple scroll down fashion, however still feels fresh. It even reminds us a little of the Japanese paper scrolls with the big red stamp at the end. If you want to help or just have a look click here.

The Pluspurple office needed a redesign. So, as good web designers we looked up for some digital mood boards to have some fun before taking a paint brush in hand. We came past some fun mood board tools to test our nerves. One from mydeco or an entire website just on the subject. Olioboard

Playing around with code and seeing what comes out when you change one or more parameters has always fascinated us here at the Pluspurple headquarters. Originally it was Flash, now there other alternatives on the market to play around with code and form. The above design was created with paperjs.

Not too long ago Pluspurple was able to launch the Walde + Graf website. During our research for the project, we were surprised to find so few nicely designed publisher websites. We did however stumble across the Magma website. It's not a publisher website, per se, but more of an ecommerce site. However, they still managed to create a feel and uniqueness which lots of publishing or ecommerce websites lack. You must also check out their brick and mortor stores, which we would also give a big thumbs up to.

For anyone who hasn't seen this video, it humorously bemoans the painful reality that is design by committee. As for our own experiences of this, we couldn't possibly comment!

21.07.11 :


With the re-brand of this well established company dating back to the 1920's, a simple but striking visual language has been expertly crafted. We particularly enjoy the clean and reduced website design which echoes the similarly plain product packaging. With beautiful photos and well balanced logo, the website design steps back and lets the product do all the talking. Less is definitely more.

We are still always surprised to find novel ways of representing type. Here is a little crazy idea and undoubtedly a rather labour intensive method of making a typeface. (and some more work of the artist). Here we thought making lead coast type was fiddly. But then there's always something that goes that one step further. Surely the smallest art pieces in the world.
