Project Details
Background: 

Cp Cases designs and manufactures high-performance, ruggedised cases and racks used in transport, operation and storage of essential equipment for commercial and military applications worldwide.

Project Brief: 

We were asked to deliver a high quality publication, offering an 'at a glance' reference and showcase of the whole CP Cases product range to Sony Broadcast, that will be placed on their intranet and submitted to Sony Japan's board.

Our Approach: 

Working within the brand guidelines of CP Cases, our aim was to produce a guide that could be used as a show piece. With there being a lot of technical information we didn't want this to sacrifice the design and we worked towards a considered and clean layout with the impact of quality clear information.

Results: 

Using the format of A4, a 44 perfect bound paged brochure was produced. We made bold use of the core colour blue with confident typography, lending the design to a contemporary gridded style. The products within the ranges were split into sections using a mixture of full bleed 'hero' images of the products in real life situations, and various product shot mosaics supported by strong headers. We also introduced a new typographic layout to the brand, extending the current use of their typefaces. 

The front cover features a 'cover to back' design, using an angled grid that follows over the pages. The typography and keylines were then highlighted for an even more dynamic effect using a UV varnish during print. We oversaw the print production process, ensuring that the highest quality standards were observed and the best materials used.

To support the requirement of the guide featuring on Sony's intranet, a digital 'turn the page' brochure was also produced and supplied by us.

The Sony Broadcast guide was used by CP Cases as an example of how their brand guidelines should be used in future projects, which makes the whole project a further success, and achieved a far greater outcome.
