			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were recently approached by singer/songwriter <a href="http://www.facebook.com/fionafordmusic" target="_blank">Fiona Ford</a> who needed some help with her branding, album artwork &amp; photography as well as a social media strategy. We were happy to oblige and well placed to take this on varied task. As a full-service agency we have the benefit of being able to offer a vast range of creative services, from <a href="http://www.highcontrast.co.uk">photography</a> to coding, whilst keeping all work in-house.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>

<p>We employ an exceptional team of highly talented graphic designers. They have the ability to produced stunning work that will add really value to your brand. Over the years they have worked for companies such as First Choice Airways, General Electric, Motorola, Bridge Insurance, Bus Solutions, Organic Indulgence, Clear Prospects, The Corporate Presence… to name a few.</p>
<p>Once we have produced your design we can also manage the printing process, this is one less thing for you to worry about. Our team are experts at briefing printers and they’ll make sure everything is done to the highest standard.</p>
<p>Other companies will hand you your design and leave you to deal with the printing because it’s less hassle for them. Contrast Creative think this is unprofessional and unfair on you.</p>
