Flipmedia Laurie Barker

As the winter is well and truly over and we only have a few day's left until the lifts close in Val d'Isère I am setting about publishing the promotional work I have been undertaking for VSPOT.This consists of over 25 pieces for print and this season a web site, along with managing the VSPOT Facebook profile.

The RB Creative web site is now live http://www.rbcreative.co.uk

Following a period of waiting for final copy and images the web site designed and produced for RB Creative is now live.

Tignes Cuisine commisioned Laurie Barker to produce a simple self managed web site using Drupal CMS. A quick turn around was required to ensure the site was live for the busy Feb half term rush to the French Alps.

Over the comming weeks a French translation will be added as well as photo gallery and possibly a video diary documenting Chippies lengdary skiing exploits.

Over recent weeks Flipmedia has been working with Method Snowboard Magazine, fixing issues with their two web sites methodmag.com and method.tv

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding methodmag.com - this will be live in the next week or so. The rebuild will enhance and refine the overall design, resolve issues with areas of the content management and lay a strong foundation to enable the site to move forward and respond quickly to the creative requests of the team.

Over the last couple of weeks Flipmedia has been working with Planks visualising & creating design specifications for the Planks 2009/10 winter range.

This relationship is set to continue with Laurie Barker being invited by Jim Addlington to be a member of their creative team. Cheers Jim!

Val d'Isère saw the launch of a new clothing brand, starting with bandanas, Banned inc. A small number of designs were rolled out through the VSPOT snowboard shop and the interest was encouraging. Over the summer I will be working with Banned inc, including the production of the web site, stickers and t-shirts along with more bandana designs.

Banned inc work so far...

So the season here is over half way through and I am busy working mainly with VSPOT. Tight deadlines and interesting subject make this fun and rewarding.

As the bar + shop is new to resort the promotion needs to be aggressive and as a holiday destination this promotion has to be undertaken on a weekly basis.

For a sample of the promotion I have been producing check out the VSPOT portfolio.

The new improved store finder is just one of the many enhancements that Bathstore contracted Flipmedia to undertake.

Whilst all of the works that Bathstore contracted Flipmedia to undertake have been completed, I have to remain tight lipped about these until Bathstore are ready to launch them. Over the coming weeks and months these developments will be rolled out and as they are I will shout about them from here.

This contract represents a years worth of development and I can't wait until you can see what has been done.

The work so far...

New for the 2008/09 season in Val d'Isére, Vspot is a bar and snow sports clothing / equipment store.

The brief was to produce a simple "classic" verstile logo. The logo itself has been developed in 3 forms. From the initial mono logo's colour ways have been put together for this season, signage and pre-season advertising.

The Quiksilver Pro France 2008 Hossegor started with the "Tony Hawk Ramp Skate Show", strange title but amazing show. Tony Hawk was joined by Jess Fritsch, Sergie Ventura, Andy MacDonald, Kevin Staab, and from Europe Pete King, Jürgen Horwarth and Sam Bosworth.

A practice session took place the day before the event, with Kelly Slater seen watching Tony Hawk skate - that's two of the Quiksilver Super Pro's in the same spot at the same time.
