Last night saw the launch of the new Nokia typeface 'Pure' created by Dalton Maag. To celebrate Nokia invited 13 design studios and illustrators to design a poster using the new typeface. We were honoured to be one of the invited studios. Each poster is a ltd-edition of 20 only and all the proceeds are to be donated to the British Dyslexia Association. All the posters are available to buy, priced at £50. If you are interested in buying ours, or any of the other posters contact Design Studio via this email. Our design focuses around an original poem by our very own Nicky Place and features a beautiful mirrored foil-blocked QR-code. The code is linked to an animated version of the full poem entitled 'Pure Imagination'.

As part of an ongoing project we are doing with Nokia we also produced a short film called 'PureReversal'. From digital to analogue we commissioned a woodblock version of the typeface, highlighting the craft of Matt McKenzie of the Paekakariki Press. Filmed on location at his workshop in Walthamstow, London. A ltd-edition print was produced and printed on his original 1959 Heidleberg KS Cylinder 38 x 52 Press.
The short film 'PureReversal' can be viewed here.

The website for the new Gary Hustwit documentary film 'Urbanized' launched yesterday, this will be where Gary charts the progress of the making of the film.
We were asked to design a set of limited edition prints to help fund the film and can be bought from here.
They are a set of four based on themes explored in the film, Housing / Mobility / Public Space & Infrastucture. All four are A2 single colour white screen-print on Colorplan stock.

— A lovely set of 2001: A Space Odyssey Promotional Photos in (fairly) High Resolution can be found here. Lovely stuff...

Circle One is a new short film by César Pesquera, a copy of which has just arrived here at Build. Highly stylish & just a little unnerving, the film follows René in his dull, uneventful life in a subterranean and futuristic world. He is about to be promoted and transferred from Circle One to Circle Six, when a series of mysterious mounds start to appear systematically in his apartment.

We are very pleased indeed, because the film fleetingly features the Build Grid Clock screensaver, which looks just the part in this futuristic setting.
