BNP Paribas Securities Services and BNP Paribas Investment Partners came to studio401 and asked us to design their stand graphics for the recent NAPF Annual Conference and Exhibition 2014. Pat Cash was a special guest on the stand and delegates were able to stop on the stand and play a built-in interactive tennis game with the man himself! The three day show proved to be a huge success attracting some of the most important pension decision makers in the country.
Frog Capital, one of Europe’s most individual and forward thinking investors, approached Studio401 after a receiving a recommendation from one of our clients. They required a speedy turnaround from concept to delivery on two annual reports. Working closely with the team at Frog, we gave special consideration to the tactile nature of this project. The cover is printed digitally in white ink with a spot varnish directly onto 270gsm Colorplan Ebony. The opening leaf is printed on a transparent Cromatico 110gsm. The text pages are printed on 160gsm Mohawk Premium and the sections are divided by a mixture of 140gsm Sirio Lime and 135gsm Colorplan Ebony. Frog were delighted with the results. ‘Touch’ is especially important in print and our emotional response to a tactile printed product can help to sell, strengthen brands and communicate effectively.

The original titles were designed by Pablo Ferro, who is one of the most acclaimed film title designers, especially famous for his hand-drawn lettering. Studio401 were asked to create a new look for BNP Paribas digital staff magazine oneUK. The new design features this font throughout.
