In collaboration with the artist, Fiona, we honed into a specific style for the album artwork, before getting into the studio to bank some solid images that we could use as the back bone of the album visuals. Working with these we created a clean, cohesive design that pulled together all of the necessary copy without making things look too busy.

When it came to social media, we struck upon the idea of using Facebook as a platform from which to sell records. The key to making this work however was finding a way to make to purchasing and distribution process as simple as possible. Our solution to this was to create a custom tab that houses a Flash based console which allows visitors to view album information, listen to sample tracks and purchase either a full album or individual songs with ease. Payment is made via PayPal to keep the entire process as simple and secure as possible. The beauty of this system is that it keeps the artist in full control of their distribution process and sidesteps the fee’s associated through other channels such as iTunes. At the same time, any fans of the artist can quickly and easily preview and purchase the artists music with just a few clicks.

Solution: Challenge conceptions of religion mixed with pleasure!

Antonio Federici, crowned as Best Ice Cream in the World 2009, stocked by exclusive retailers, widely revered and deserving of some real attention! We put our necks on the block to produce a series of ads that will certainly get the brand noticed!

Working with creative director Matt O’Connor, Contrast Creative produced the campaign from conception through to delivery, providing photography, styling, models, post production, video production and location scouting services.

The campaign is currently rolling out in the national press and carefully selected locations over the next few weeks. It has already featured in Grazia, The Lady and Look magazine, causing quite a stir!

So far the best Tweet about the ad’s has to be “an unexpected climax to this weeks Look magazine! #antonio federici”.

The ads rolled out in Delicious Magazine and attracted attention from National Press and from around the globe after the ‘Kiss Temptation’ ad was banned by the ASA.

Antonio Federici Gelato Italiano has recently been Voted Best Ice Cream in the World by The International Ice Cream Consortium 2009 and is now available to buy in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.

The brief was simple – convey the quality and image of the products and brand.

Contrast provided a complete solution including; sourcing models, location scouting, fashion styling, photography on location and in the studio.

The photography has been used for promotional literature, POS, exhibition and online.

Taking advantage of our contacts including bridal wear specialists and furniture manufacturers, we were able to pull together the perfect combination of classic styling.

Beautiful imagery, minimal typography and clean and simple layouts show off the products to their best.

Contrast also managed the printing and distribution of the brochures which were extremely well received throughout the 18 UK retail outlets.

The brand had to be recognisable, fashion-led and should have been able to stitch or de-boss into the product.

Contrast created branding, promotional literature, styled and directed photography.

Contrast provided the arsenal to attack the ice cream market included branding, photography, styling, viral, email marketing, packaging design, Flash website development and social media campaign.

Since the launch in mid-September, with creations such as The Sex Pistol, The Icecreamists have attracted attention from all over the globe and online following continues to grow at a rapid pace.

The Icecreamists are currently seeking a permanent site in central London.

“A self-proclaimed revolution in ice cream, the new brand is dripping in trendy imagery, graffiti-like fonts, scantily clad semi-goth models, edgy ice cream accoutrements and witty taglines and quotes. Clever flavour names, trendy graphics, downloadable wallpapers – even t-shirts and a pendant of their logo – are a part of a marking effort that parallels that of a new movie release.” If It’s Hip, It’s Here
