Capitol Shopping Centre Cardiff

Came across some of the Cardiff Design Festival boards at Capitol Shopping Centre today, was shocked to see them but happy to see that two of our pieces are getting a bit of free advertising, they are the branding for Academi's Book of the Year awards and also the branding for fruit smoothie company SoBor.

DME award - WMC

It has been a busy week at Hoffi as well as arrange an event for designers and student of Cardiff we also visited the WMC for the DME Award ceremony. As previously mentioned in one of my earlier blog entries one of our clients had been shortlisted for his latest product. SoBor - fruit smoothies was noted as being a very strong entry and gained an honourary mention. It is a very busy time for SoBor at the moment as they have just managed to get orders in a number of independent boutique hotels and bars.

Some of the other companies that where either winners or honourably mentioned were, Virgin Atlantic, KTM and edf energy to name but a few. As well as showing all of the entry submissions after the award ceremony there were some of the products also there in particular there was a KTM RC8 bike which I am now officially in love with and have to definitely pass my bike test next summer so I can get on one.

We were delighted to hear that one of our clients has been shortlisted for this years DME Award in the first time design process. The shortlisted company Sobor is a fruit smoothie producer who we have been working with on their brand identity, packaging and promotional items. We are delighted that Sobor has been recognised in using design to aid their company and wish them luck with the rest of the process. fingers crossed.. The results will be announced in October at the Wales Millennium Centre, as part of the Cardiff Design Festival.
