Palladian Calendar

North Meadow Media is proud to have been selected by Palladian Press to create its 2009 desk calendar, sent free of charge to its valued clients.

Designed by Barry Lowenhoff, the calendar features a giant Palladian ‘P’ logo photographed in various locations in East Anglia. The shots were taken by Harland Payne Photography during November and December, and a short introduction was provided by NMM’s Ben Locker.

If you would like an equally distinctive gift for your own clients, get in touch today.

Shaw Design Website

Clerkenwell-based agency Shaw Design Associates Ltd has just relaunched its website, which was designed and coded in-house but written by North Meadow Media’s Ben Locker. The company has many future plans for the new site’s development and founder Matt Shaw is delighted with the revamp:

Just wanted to say thank you for writing our website. I’m really pleased with the end result, and I think you’ve well and truly fulfilled the objective we gave you – to inject some personality into the site…

North Meadow is working on a number of website projects at the moment — we offer design and construction as well as copywriting. More details will be appearing here soon, but please get in touch if you’re interested in working with us in these ways.

Come Take My Hand

The Hackney Citizen has just started to publish some of its content online, which will be a great way for it to pick up new readers. The Winter 2008 issue features an article by North Meadow Media’s Ben Locker, and it’s available in full here. It’s very different from his commercial work, so hats off to the newspaper for publishing something so unusual.

First Impressions

Palladian Press rightly takes its place in the front rank of East Anglia’s printing firms. Established in 1995, the Colchester printer has since won a place in the prestigious Printweek 500 and carved out an enviable reputation as a company that puts quality and its customers first. North Meadow Media’s Barry Lowenhoff and Ben Locker collaborated to produce the first two issues of its industry-leading newsletter, Palladian Impressions.

Both issues contain a lively mix of news, interviews, staff profiles and features. Ben Locker was responsible for the research and writing, which gave him the chance to speak to a broad cross section of Palladian’s clients and explore their relationship with the printing firm. Final articles put the following companies, organisations and individuals in the spotlight:

Barry Lowenhoff acted as art director, working closely with Harland Payne Photography, and was responsible for designing the two publications. His creative vision sends out a clear message that Palladian is an up-and-coming company, fizzing with all the ideas and energy that are the hallmarks of the print industry’s biggest hitters.

Palladian Impressions was very well received by the firm’s clients, and it doubles up as excellent marketing material. To download copies and read testimonials, visit the Palladian Press website.

Setting for Majesty

St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic buildings in London: it is one of the principal places of worship in Britain and has assumed a symbolic role that has been entwined with the history of the monarchy. It has been the backdrop for thanksgivings, commemorations at times of national importance and the scene of royal marriages. This exhibition, Elizabeth to Elizabeth, was designed by Barry Lowenhoff and vividly acknowledges the unique relationship through elegant design, colourful images and lively text.

Bittersweet

Once again joining forces as History by Design, New Meadow Media’s Ben Locker and Barry Lowenhoff created a poignant exhibition on the links between slavery, food and Wales on behalf of the Gateway Gardens Trust. Ben was responsible for researching the material in conjunction with GGT, and then writing it to a visually logical format. Barry Lowenhoff was the creative force behind the exhibition design.

Bittersweet Exhibition

The exhibition was launched to great acclaim in October 2008. Gateway Gardens Trust Chairman Bettina Harden was thrilled with the response it generated:

The Chairman of HLF said he never expected [the exhibition] to be as good, look so great and relate such difficult issues to people’s everyday lives. [Dr] Chris Evans LOVED it and is really looking forward to having it at the University of Glamorgan Library over the winter… we will feature in the Big Issue with some of our ex-homeless guests on the visit from Dragon Arts — and their response was so enthusiastic. Finally, the Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council wants to get it on the Vale’s website, so tremendously positive all round.

Ben and Barry are looking forward to working with the Gateway Gardens Trust over the course of the Bittersweet project, and are already thinking about how best to do its final exhibition.

National Trust

A testimonial: “Barry Lowenhoff has recently managed the design and print of our Regional Learning Leaflets. We are delighted with the end product and have received positive feedback from colleagues and partners.

Lynsey Thorpe, the Regional Publications Officer and I enjoyed working with Barry. He brought some fresh and vibrant ideas to the project and worked through the process calmly and efficiently. He was also able to accommodate our requirements and any changes we requested swiftly. There was a tight deadline for the project and this presented no problem.

I would be pleased to work with Barry again and would recommend his work to others.

Karen Chancellor
Regional Learning & Interpretation Officer
The National Trust

Goy Next Door

In October 2008, community newspaper The Hackney Citizen published a thought-provoking article by North Meadow media’s Ben Locker and Orthodox Jewish blogger ‘The Shaigetz’. The piece, which takes a fond and wry look at what it is like to be a gentile – or goy – living amongst the world’s third largest Orthodox community, is given added sharpness and balance by The Shaigetz’s perspective from within ‘the square mile of piety’.

The Hackney Citizen’s editor, Keith Magnum, was delighted with the response the article generated. As he said after publication: “The responses I’ve been have been… things like ‘amazing’, ’sensitive handling of some difficult issues’, ‘brave’”.

The full article is reproduced below:

The Goy Next Door

I made my home in the heart of Stamford Hill in 1999 becoming, as I put my foot on the property ladder, goy next door to Europe’s largest settlement of Orthodox Jews. Over the years, I’ve observed the observant in this ‘square mile of piety’ and relished those moments where our lives collide.

It always made me nervous, as a kid, when new neighbours moved in, especially if it was goyim. You never knew in advance what threat they might bring. Would they have kids who would shout ‘Jew Bug’ when we came home from school? Worse, would they have a dog? (more…)
