Stormborn are a Heavy Metal band from London. They are currently recording their debut album which is being produced by the world-class Matt Hyde, who has worked with the likes of Slipknot, Trivium, Machine Head and Bullet for my Valentine.
Buttasideup were excited to have the opportunity to design the logo and website (coming soon) for a new and upcoming band that has so much potential.

×Buttasideup were approached by a new start-up business called Mowsart to design a brand for their garden maintenance service.
We had supplied several different routes for the client and they decided to go with the more lighthearted approach depicting elements from a garden within the typography.
We will also be working closely with Mowsart in the near future in order to gain more exposure for their brand via a website and other promotional material.

×High Quality Lifestyles (HQL) based in Dover, Kent provide specialist services to people with profound, severe and moderate learning disabilities and /or autistic spectrum conditions, who sometimes present with severely challenging behaviours.
Buttasideup were commissioned by them to design and print manage an easy to read Brochure explaining not only their services but to also incorporate their various pathways to receiving their help in an easy to understand format.
To do this we decided to use a board game style layout where by you can follow a different pathway depending on the level of help you may require, this made up part of the full brochure for which we created an illustration set to help tie the aesthetic together throughout.
×As part of their Green Bar promotion to promote an added security feature Verisign commissioned the design of some packaging for a chocolate bar which they named the Green Bar.
For this project although the predominate colour choice may have been an obvious one in green we wanted to marry this with a colour palette which tied in with the Verisign brand, so white was chosen for the swooping graphics as well as gold to show a high standard of service for the Green Bar typography as well as using drip lines to illustrate melted chocolate.
×KEF commissioned Buttasideup with the design and build of their brand new E-Commerce website, which allows their customers to buy KEF products online for the first time.
The design reflects the style of the main KEF website as we were conscious of keeping the customers experience as seemless as possible when they visit both websites. The design also has the user experience as the top priorty, by making the website as easy to navigate and buy products as possible.
The site was built with one of Buttasideup’s e-commerce packages that we can offer to any of our clients. It has a very user freindly CMS, which allows KEF employees to log in and update the products and prices etc easily themselves whenever they wish.

×RARE Studio briefed us initially to design them a logo for their new dance studio. We designed them a number of different options and worked with them to develop the final product. They were really pleased with the final result.
They then briefed us to design and build a website that was aimed at young people who are interested in dance, acting and singing. They wanted this website to have a CMS to enable them to regularly update it with new content and news stories.
We worked on a couple of designs initially and then worked with the client to narrow down a particular look. We finally created a fresh and modern feel with our design which the client loves. For the build we chose to use Wordpress as the CMS as we felt it was the best solution for the clients needs.

×As part of KEFs 50 years celebrations they commissioned Buttasideup to design a book, supporting CD and case for a special edition release and a musical representation of the 50 years they have been in existence.
KEF signed a deal with Universal to use tracks that best represented both their longevity and innovation in sound and with featuring artists such as Temptations, Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie it was a great job for us to work on but meant the quality of the design had to match the music as well as portraying a strong message of the past, present and more importantly the future vision of KEF.
In ongoing design concepts and brainstorming we decided to incorporate a timeline as well as changing header font for the years in the decades, this allowed us to give a feeling of progression as you go through the book and yet still maintaining the strong brand identity of KEF.
As well as using great images from KEF archives we feel that we have managed to incorporate a feeling of where KEF have come from starting in a small hut on a site in Maidstone in Kent, to becoming a world renowned manufacturer in audio. We were very pleased with the outcome and as a package that will be released in small numbers it will no doubt become a collectable for audiophiles in the future.
×For Buttasideups first christmas as a company we decided to have some fun and so we designed and developed a game in Flash. We thought it would be a good way to introduce ourselves to prosepective clients and also a bit of fun for our current clients.
The game has all 3 of the partners of Buttasideup in it and you got to throw snowballs at us. It has a very addictive aspect to it as you try to keep improving your high score.
The feedback we got from this game was great. Everyone we sent it to said they loved it. We added the ability for people to send the game on to their freinds and this made it a successful viral game and also good publicity for Buttasideup.
×Buttasideup worked closely with Colin Whitlock a talented photographer to create his logo and website.
The website design reflects the clean style of Colin’s photos. The website enables Colin to easily upload any new photos to seperate gallerys.

×For Buttasideup's 1st birthday celebrations we invited all of our Facebook friends to change their profile pictures to one of our 3 coloured arrows from the Buttasideup logo. This was to show their support and to help us raise awareness of Buttasideup.
This was very successful and we had lots of people take part. The whole concept of changing everyones profile pictures to a brightly coloured arrow gets people talking and their friends asking "why is your profile picture an arrow?" which ultimately leads to people talking about Buttasideup. So it really worked well as a viral campaign.
The campaign helped us increase our Facebook fans by around 20%.
×Buttasideup have talented in-house 3D designers who are capable of producing quality 3D models and animated 3D sequences. We have produced numerous 3D images and animated 3D sequences for KEF product brochures, presentations and corporate videos.
We use the latest 3D software and powerful hardware to produce these pieces of work.
×We regularly produce HTML emails for KEF which go out to their customers and retailers. These emails are based on a design that we produced for KEF. We have actually changed the design several times over the year to keep the look fresh and modern.
Working closley with the client we have made each of the emails that are sent out as engaging and exciting as possible. Each email is treated as a new design challenge for us.
