Converging Paths

Award winning theatre company Slung Low are making five new performance pieces for five North Yorkshire Festivals: Coastival, Swaledale, Grassington, Harrogate and Ryedale. A series of new pieces based on the novel "The Ground Remembers" by Matthew David Scott. Set in unusual and unique locations, the shows re-examine how audiences go and see a piece of theatre.

The creative solution explores the notion of ‘real magic’ and plays on the common water theme through refraction. Lee Goater, working with photographer Mezz Davies captured a combination of site specific location photography and studio shots. Layers of sediment are suggested through the use of stacked typography, line work and photography. A series of six A5 cards folded to A6, held together in a card wallet has been produced as one of the collateral items.

The slipcase is lasercut on the face:

The pic below shows each of the cards together with the poster/flyers. The cards and slipcase are produced on our Redeem 100% Recycled 315gsm.

Design and art direction is by Lee Goater. Print and finishing, including the lasercutting was produced by Sheffield based Evolution Print.

Craven College Prospectus

This is a really great piece of literature for Craven College. It's a quality prospectus with great photography and fantastic reproduction.

Size is 200x265mm. It has a 4pp cover and 152pp text and it also has a 8pp printed 'dustjacket' which gives this publication a really high quality feel.    

Design is by Leads Design (a division of L&K based in Leeds). Creative Director on the project was Lee Goater. Photography is by Kerry Harrison and Richard Moran.

It is produced on a paper that we supply on an 'ex-mill' basis. For those of you that haven't come across this expression before, it means that it's not a stock paper but is one that is offered to come direct from the paper mill straight to the printer. Often the paper is made to exactly the right size for the particular project. The paper supplied for this prospectus is an economical uncoated text and cover paper called TRUE FSC. It is 115gsm with a 300gsm cover. This paper was chosen to fit in with the budget and the environmental criteria.

The job was superbly printed by Team Impression. Four colour work and solids are superb.

...and thanks to Lee for the lovely note.

Lee Goater - Design, Art Direction & Branding.

Lee Goater has decided to take the plunge and branch out on his own. Lee has been Creative Director at Leeds based agency Lowd & Klea (L&K) for five very happy years. During this time I've worked on some lovely projects with them including pieces for the Northern School of Contemporary Dance and Craven College.

Lee is now working on his own projects and as a freelance art director. Good luck and best wishes to Lee and I know everyone at L&K will miss him.
