New comic strip series for Promethean


January 26th, 2011 by Michael

Promethean is a world leader in the rapidly growing global market for interactive learning technology. We’ve worked with them for a number of years but are particularly proud of a recent piece of work.

We’ve scripted, designed, illustrated & produced a comic style publication, the first in the series being titled Promethean People, Maria & the Adventures of Marco Polo.

The illustrative style has a Beano style feel but with a Promethean twist, initially set in a Thai school where Maria teaches her pupils about the adventures of of Marco Polo.

Promethean briefed us that they wanted fresher resources to demonstrate their products. The comic strip centres on children’s learning & how the products can benefit the teacher, explaining very simply how they can be used.

The comic strip was recently introduced to teachers and educational professionals at education conferences and has proved a huge hit generating excitement around their product range. Resonating with an audience tired of seeing the same old literature it proves Promethean’s willingness to continue unlocking the potential of achievement in education & training around the world.

In those days to say you were a ‘website designer’ was to be treated with the reverance normally only reserved for Nobel Prize-winning rock stars, or even possibly the Pope. Untold riches were yours and beautiful women would fall at your feet (although, curiously, not in my particularly grimy neck of the woods at the time).

TFM&A debrief


February 26th, 2009 by Michael

A weary but enlightened Studio North contingent arrived back in Manchester late last night after two days at the Technology for Marketing & Advertising exhibition at Earls Court.

At a time when the marketing mix is expanding almost exponentially, primarily due to the growing influence of the internet over the masses, no serious design industry professional could possibly have ignored such an event.
