The Icograda Design Week Torino is held in a unique and internationally prestigious context; it is in fact included in the Torino 2008 World Design Capital agenda.
Now in its first year, this biennial event will be hosted in the city of Turin, where international events devoted to every single design sector will be held across 2008.
The city of Turin has been short-listed out of a number of famous world cities, based on its historical importance in the Italian design and manufacturing sector, for its excellent infrastructure and central geographical position.
Turin hosts cultural organizations, museums, events of national and international interest, driving massive innovation over the past decade.
This innovation process did not stop following the successful outcome of the Winter Olympics 2006.

This is a leading Italian and European event in terms of size and quality, it includes 3-day international conference, exhibitions, forums and several workshops for students.

In much the way that the CD replaced the album, the poster has waned as a messaging vehicle.
The poster has now become a postcard and e-mail blast, leaving many to long for the lost age when posters were not only major promotional vehicles, but also artwork worthy of framing.
Some of the world's best designers just could not stand idle while the poster fell by the wayside.
They turned to the poster for personal expression and as an outlet from more restrictive mediums.
This book showcases their breathtaking artwork, which has proven that the poster can still serve as a worthy communications tool.
In doing so, they've brought the poster back to prominence.
In this book, John Foster has compiled the world's finest new work at the height of this rebirth.
There is currently no book on the market that can claim it features a "definitive" poster collection.

In an effort to promote a "safe Olympics," the local security administration for the Beijing Olympic Games has issued four slogans and posters to the public, reported the Xinhua News Agency on Wednesday.
With a total circulation of 200,000, the four kinds of Olympic posters with four different security slogans will be posted around residential areas, commercial centers, public buildings, Olympic venues and neighborhoods in Beijing and seven other Olympic co-host cities.
The outstanding poster designs, with Olympic images, modern style and Chinese characteristics to vivify the theme of a "safe Olympics," were selected from about 400 creations in a public solicitation activity held last year.

For holistic pharmacy brand Urban Healing, Checkland Kindleysides created a refreshed graphic palette for their concession within Harrods.
New lifestyle and ingredient imagery was introduced along with a clean, contemporary approach to in-store communications.
These refinements work throughout the retail space in the form of light-boxes and information pods, through to signage and high level navigation, reflecting the vitality and wellbeing ethos of the brand.
Urban Healing's OH (Optimum Health) Bar, which serves vitamin shots designed to energise and invigorate, is set against a vibrant backdrop, in front of which sits the elegantly simple interlocking bar.
An identity was created specifically for the bar, re-enforcing Urban Healing as a unique offer and a one-stop destination for healthiness on the go.
The logo has also been applied to bottles and packaging for the vitamin shots as well as menus and staff t-shirts.

The Hub are in the latter stages of completing one of the UK's and Scotland's most significant corporate identity projects of 2008.
The process began following a tender stretching throughout the against some of the most prolific creative agencies the UK has to offer.
The new identity for Lothian and Borders Police - the police force for Scotland's capital and home to some of the UK's most significant brands.
The identity is in response to a new approach to modern policing and in-line with Lothian and Borders Police's vision and values, a 21st century police service of international stature and status.
We developed an identity system, typographically, with a strong supporting colour palette, that allows flexibility and freshness.
The brief has seen Hub develop an entirely new identity, that extends across the whole organisation, from full vehicle fleets, uniforms, warrant cards, publications, online to the re-branding of all public areas.
