We have launched the (by)Build Shop print-on-demand service, and the first print in the series is Michael's Sunrise Over Manchester poster.
Originally designed for the excellent Print & Paste initiative, info on the project can be found here, and here.
All of the print-on-demand pieces are exclusive to our shop!

Choose from three sizes:
A2 - £30 / A1 - £60 / A0 - £120.

Buy 'Sunrise' HERE.

Look out for further designs added to the range in the very near future!

Our brand new store - (by)Build Shop - is coming very soon, this week in fact!
We have worked hard on our new Shop for several months, listening to feedback from customers and establishing the Shop on its own. (by)Build Shop is built from the ground up, overhauled with plenty of new features to help give a better shopping experience for you (and us!). Users can create accounts to manage orders and address information, register interest in reprints of sold out products and share items on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

In our fourth collaborator interview we get to know a bit more about Progress Packaging, who have produced our limited edition 11 Years tote bags. In the hot seat is Simon Farrow...
-
How did you come to work with Build?
We have worked with Build on several packaging projects over the years, most recently promotional launch packs for Moodstream. We knew Michael through TDR but really got to know them after working with Generation Press as a supplier.
-

-
What is it you like about the studio?
It is always nice dealing with fellow Northerners in London, make us feel at home when away. They are always a friendly bunch to work with, we like the fact that Build are creative, but always seem to introduce some fun in to their projects.
-

-
What are you looking forward to seeing (apart from the Build 11 Years show) at the London Design Festival?
Probably the Pop exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey. This charts design and trends in the music industry over the years. Hoping to see this and the Bowie retrospective at the V&A.
-
What is your favourite piece of your own work and why is it your favourite?
It is an old piece of work but probably the beautiful laser cut carrier bags we made for Yauatcha. These were designed by MadeThought and were one of the first jobs we did. We had been trying to cross over from more regional work and this job gave us real credibility in London design circles, as well as looking lovely to boot!
-

-
Where are you based?
We are based in Huddersfield, nicely located on a valley's edge surrounded by countryside (sorry!)
-

-
Three words that sum up you + your attitude to what you do?
Creative, professional, approachable.
-
How did you get started?
After working for soulless manufacturing companies, who liked to say "no" to creative projects, we set up Progress to cater to this market. We worked from home for a few years producing for regional agencies while we honed our list of processes, suppliers and printers. Most of our business is now with design groups within the London area but we still produce most of our products in the North of England. We are really lucky to enjoy what we do and to work with some fantsatisc creative clients.
-
What kind of music do you listen to whilst at work?
We would love to be all serious and say we are too busy to listen to music but at the moment our background is The Shins' Port of Morrow - it is Friday afternoon after all!
-

-
What project has given you the most satisfaction?
Recently we have been working with Rapha on packaging for their cycling gear. We have really enjoyed producing some lovely pieces for them, as their attention to detail and material mirrors ours. It is also great to work with a company who is growing so successfully in these tough times.
-
Thank you Simon and everyone at Progress - you can visit their site here.
-
Build—Blood, Sweat & 11 Years opens on Tuesday 11th September until Sunday 16th September at the Dray Walk Gallery on Brick Lane. Further information can be found here.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to unfortunately cancel the auction due to take place this Sunday. Instead we have decided to make a number of the NFCU prints available for sale at the gallery and on our online shop site. These prints are individually numbered (out of a edition of 200 only) and are being sold as individual pieces.
-
We have one complete set of prints (5 in the set) carrying edition number 7 of 200 of each print in the set. This set is only going to be for sale through the auction site Ebay. The link to the auction will go live on Sunday, and will be an 11 day auction.
-
The prints are now highly sought-after and they are still strictly not for commercial use - all proceeds from their sale will go to our chosen charities.
-
These charities are Impact India, Guide Dogs for the Blind and Sightsavers. We chose these charities because visual communication is key to us as a studio- so we decided to help those who are less fortunate in this respect and who are not able to enjoy the visual world that we often take for granted.
-
Five of each of the following prints are available to buy straight away:-
NFCU- Manifesto (A1/2 colour litho + Foil block)
NFCU- Symbiosis (A1/4 colour screen-print + Foil block)
NFCU- Testcard-1 (A1/9 colour litho + Foil block)
NFCU- Dendrochronology (A1/5 colour litho + Foil block)
NFCU- Statement (A1/1 colour litho + Foil block)
