Bath Preservation Trust Annual Review


Imagine Design Associates was recently asked by the Bath Preservation Trust to re-design and produce their Annual Review for 2008. 

The Bath Preservation Trust was set up in 1934 to safeguard the historic city of Bath. Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the only complete city in the UK afforded World Heritage Status.

The challenge for Imagine Design was to move forward the look and feel of the Annual Review, making it more contemporary, but without alienating the more conservative members of the Trust. 

Imagine Design produced a design the Bath Preservation Trust were extremely pleased with and are now working on the new Membership leaflet for the Trust.

Imagine Design Associates found on the web by successful, Scottish, new technology company Arrayjet


Arrayjet,
a successful, Scottish new technology company found Imagine Design Associates website recently through a web search. Arrayjet were looking for a Graphic Design Consultancy to produce an image to visually portray the innovative 'microarray' process fundamental to the microarray products the company produces.

Arrayjet's Commercial Director, Duncan Hall, approached Imagine because he liked the illustrations we produced for BMT Sigma and felt we could produce exactly what he had in mind for Arrayjet.

Imagine were promptyl briefed and were supplied with a variety of technical photographs and a verbal description of the Arrayjet process. Within a period of only two weeks, we had produced initial sketches and delivered the final full colour illustration to a delighted client. The illustration we produced was now a very important 'Brand Asset' for Arrayjet and could be used on all of Arrayjet's marketing materials such as exhibition stands, brochures, posters, factsheets, etc.

Duncan Hall was delighted with the work we produced and said: "Imagine Design Associates were the perfect partner for my project: they stayed within the brief and the budget, and yet they delivered an attractive and creative pice of artwork within a very short timescale. I rate Brian highly and would definitely work with him again."

Arrayjet was founded in August 2000 by a Cambridge physicist, Dr. Howard Manning, and University of Edinburgh molecular biologists, Prof. Peter Ghazal and Dr. Douglas Roy, to develop robotics using inkjet printheads to make biological microarrays. In February 2001 Arrayjet secured two-stage funding from the Scotland based investor group known as Archangels and won a Scottish Enterprise SMART award to develop the ink jet microarray platform. Further funding by Archangels and SE followed.

From February 2001 to summer 2005 a team of 5 engineers developed the fundamental technology, additional funding was secured, and the first pre-production instruments developed and validated with commercial partners. Since 2005 the original engineering and technical team of 5 has expanded alongside Arrayjet’s engineering and laboratory facilities to meet the increasing demand for development and manufacturing.

Arrayjet has now established a number of products in the microarray market, including the newly launched Ultra-Marathon,has an expanding client base in the US and Europe, and continues to develop its patented technology.
