The building is the latest development in the College’s expanding Battersea campus, for which Jannuzzi Smith have developed an overall branding and signage strategy. The signage uses energy-efficient LED lighting and features the typeface Cal, designed by Jannuzzi Smith as a sans-serif font to accompany Calvert (by Margaret Calvert), used in the College’s logotype. The building, designed by architects Haworth Tompkins with funding from The Dr. Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation, houses some of the finest new artists’ studios in the UK, with working spaces for 56 students, an exchange studio and visiting artist studio, seminar rooms, workshops and offices.

It features essays by Mario Botta, Werner Oechslin, Simona De Giuli and an interview with the architect by Nicoletta Ossanna Cavadini. The book accompanies a touring exhibition of 12 projects by Michele Arnaboldi the first of which is staged by Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio, opening on 26 November 2009. The book covers the work of the practice since 1984 and offers detailed documentation of some 35 projects, including: the Expo 2000 in Hanover; Banca Raiffeisen in Intragna; Ospedale La Carità in Locarno; and Casa Bill in Pianezzo. The projects are illustrated with a stunning selection of photographs by Klaus Kinold, Filippo Simonetti, Nicola Roman Walbeck, Maya Fritschi and Gaston Wicky. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-arnaboldi.html We’ve joined the 10:10 bandwagon and pledged to cut 10% of our carbon emissions in 2010. From the 10:10 website:“By committing to cut your emissions by 10% in 2010, you will join thousands of individuals, schools, hospitals, businesses and organisations all actively helping to combat climate change by making simple changes to their lifestyles, homes and workplaces. More importantly, your voice will help to put pressure on the politicians to cut Britain’s emissions as quickly as the science demands. If we in the UK can prove that fast, deep cuts can be made at a national level, then we may just inspire all the other big polluting countries to follow suit.” Visit www.1010uk.org for more information and to sign up. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-10-10.html With the design and the support of Jannuzzi Smith the Royal College of Art has launched the environmentally-themed online exhibition “Sustain” – the college contribution to Britain’s Green Day. Crucially, “Sustain” offers a glimpse of the many ways in which design can feed into making the world a more sustainable place. As Sophie Thomas, Board member on the Design Council, says about the ‘unique responsibility’ of designers: “It is now time for the design industry to roll up its sleeves and get stuck into the biggest challenge of our generation.” http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-royal-college-of-art-sustain.html For the eighth successive year, Jannuzzi Smith have produced the online show catalogue for Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design’s Fashion Communication with Promotion course. The show is one of the highlights of the fashion calendar, noted for introducing some of the world’s best emerging talent, previous graduates including John Galliano, Katharine Hamnett, Stella McCartney and Matthew Williamson. Jannuzzi Smith would like to wish all of this year’s graduating students the best of luck: Alex Babboni, Ami Kuwaki, Chris Brown, Elisha Duka-Strachan, Harriet Stewart, Jessica Hannan, Jo Gowans-Eglinton, Kat Davey, Lauren Mortimer, Lulu Wentworth, Melanie Ashley, Naomi Smart, Rhiannon Jones, Tabitha Martin, Veronica So. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-central-saint-martins-fashion-2009.html Jannuzzi Smith has rebranded Swiss winemakers Chiodi Ascona. The company, set up in 1880, specialises in the making of Merlot del Ticino DOC and the bottling and distribution of European wines. The project included redesigning the complete range of products labels, as well as stationery, signage, vehicles and marketing material. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-chiodi-ascona.html Jannuzzi Smith has been highly commended for the graphic design of Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios ‘re-brand’ brochure in this year Howard Smith Awards. The Howard Smith Paper Graphic Design and Print Awards recognises the craftsmanship and collaboration behind each work. The juries – one for print and one for graphic design – are composed by the best in the business (Alexander Gelman, Studio GLMN Tokyo; Tony Brook, Spin; Kirsty Carter, A Practise for Everyday Life; Patrick Cox, Wolff Olins; Fernando Gutiérrez, Studio Gutiérrez; Garry Blackburn, Rose; Matt Pyke, Universal Everything), men and women whose talent and love of print have already earned an international following. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-feilden-clegg-bradley-howard-smith.html Jannuzzi Smith has repositioned and rebranded Seventy-Seven Diamonds, in line with their business development plan, and redesigned their website. This involved the design of new templates and processes for purchasing diamonds and jewellery online. The rebrand involved designing a new logotype, specifying fonts, colourways and the definition of best-practice for product photography. The collective result of these developments is a clearer, more efficient and attractive user experience. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-77-diamonds.html Jannuzzi Smith has designed and produced the branding and signage for the renovated Royal College of Art Sculpture building in Battersea. The agency has also now been appointed as design consultants for the wider development of the College’s Fine Art campus in Battersea over the next few years. The campus branding is an extension of Jannuzzi Smith’s identity for the Royal College of Art, and utilises a new typeface designed by the agency: ‘Cal’, a sans-serif derived from ‘Calvert’ (by Margaret Calvert, 1980), which is at the core of the College’s identity. The overall project involves developing and implementing a visual strategy for the campus, including the branding of key aspects through to internal and external way-finding signage. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-62ndlocarno-poster.html The 62nd poster of Film Festival Locarno was presented as tradition wants at the Solothurn Film Festival. In the presence of the Festival’s President Marco Solari and Artistic Director Frédéric Maire the second of a series of three images was unveiled to the press and will be incorporated in the Festival’s advertising, merchandising, and information, and marking the beginning of a series of events that will see the Festival touring Berlin, Cannes, Rome, London and Los Angeles ahead of opening its own event in early August. (Photography by Tim Flach) http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-62ndlocarno-poster.html The Institution of Structural Engineers’ branding and communications did not reflect its status as a leading international professional body. Our work included renaming the Institution, replacing the contraction ‘IStructE’ (which was taken from the professional designation as used by qualified members) with a return to the more communicative, historical name. More generally, the image of the Institution has been refreshed and upgraded, with a new, more outward-facing presence in support of its role of the as the professional voice of structural engineering worldwide. The new brand will be rolled out throughout the coming year, with many key projects undertaken by Jannuzzi Smith, including the redesign of the Institution’s flagship academic journal, development of a new website, design of technical publications and membership brochure. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-institution-structural-engineers-istructe.html Jannuzzi Smith has been appointed communication consultant for Parc Adula. The project aims to develop a new national park right in the middle of the Swiss Alps. The park comprises the largest plot of land untouched by humankind in Switzerland and will include attractions of immeasurable beauty, such as the Adula glacier and the planes of Greina. With this project Jannuzzi Smith expands its portfolio of Swiss clients: The Department of Foreign Affairs; Film Festival Locarno; Chiodi Ascona; Michele Arnaboldi Architetti. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-parc-adula.html A new website for The Royal College of Art, and the Content Management System that supports it, have been designed and produced by Jannuzzi Smith. The site presents users with a wealth of content that is cross referenced by content-mapping algorithms, enabling users to find content related on the basis of similarity. The branding of the site is an extension of Jannuzzi Smith’s earlier work for the College, dynamically ‘reflecting’ and integrating with the content of any given page. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-royal-college-of-art-website.html Film Festival Locarno unveiled the poster for this year’s events at the Solothurn Film Festival this month. The presentation has become something of an annual tradition, presenting the key visual motif of the years events, which will be incorporated in the Festival’s advertising, merchandising, and information, and marking the beginning of a series of events that will see the Festival touring Berlin, Cannes, Rome, London and Los Angeles ahead of opening its own event in early August. In an extension of last year’s major re-branding exercise, Jannuzzi Smith has created a poster featuring ‘Chota’, the new symbol of the Festival. Chota lives in a zoological sanctuary in the Oxfordshire countryside. Blind at birth, she was rejected by her mother, but under the care of a watchful keeper she regained her sight and now thrives – by turn playful and dangerous, always elegant. (Photography by Tim Flach) http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-61stlocarno-poster.html Jannuzzi Smith has entered two projects to the online contest at Behance.net: Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the Film Festival Locarno. The contest will run from Monday the 5th of November Friday the 11th of November. To reward and highlight inspirational work by participants in the Behance Network.

Mapping the spectrum of career opportunities created by digital technologies in the industry, it also describes the attitudes, skills and knowledge needed to enter the profession and captures the flavour and excitement of working in this field. The authors’ broad perspective – taking in everything from photography and illustration to motion, environmental and wearable graphics – describes the growing importance of new media graphic designers in developing new experiences for the information and entertainment industries across the globe. Sections on online design and imaginary worlds – including virtual worlds, digital FX and games – map out recent and future technological developments and their implications for the designers of today and tomorrow. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-new-media-design.html Jannuzzi Smith has developed a new corporate identity for architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. The project included a review and changes to the practice name, logotypes and other brand collateral, brochures, website, posters, signage, and other promotional material. The practice – employing over 100 architects – was founded in 1978 by Richard Feilden and Peter Clegg and “... have grown quietly over the past ten years to become a major force in British architecture and, while their architecture cannot be stylistically pigeon-holed, it generally exudes a certain Britishness – well-crafted, contextual, respectful and gentle on the eye. They have also been environmentally conscious right from the start, way before it became expedient to be green.” Jeremy Till, Professor of Architecture, Sheffield University. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-feilden-clegg-bradley.html Jannuzzi Smith has won a creative pitch to re-brand The Institution of Structural Engineers. The project is planned to coincide with the organisation’s centenary in 2008. The Institution has some 21,000 members in 109 countries around the world, and is recognised internationally as the voice of structural engineering, and for the technical and professional excellence of its members. The commission includes a major redevelopment of the Institution’s website. http://www.jannuzzismith.com/p-istructe.html Jannuzzi Smith has designed and produced ‘Exploring Boundaries: The Architecture of Wilkinson Eyre’ by Kurt W Forster and Peter Davey, for the Swiss publisher Birkhäuser.
