A NEW Scottish graphic design studio has hit the ground running by winning a contract for the branding of Glasgow International 2018, the city’s biennial festival.
Cause and Effect, which was set up by Ed Watt, former creative director of O Street, and Kerr Vernon, founder of Kerr Vernon Graphic Design, beat off competition from five other UK studios to win the prestigious account.
Watt said: “We are delighted that Glasgow International is our first commission. It’s a high profile project and a real vote of confidence from new GI director Richard Parry, who has a fantastic vision for 2018.
“We hope this will be one of many enabling us to achieve our aim of creating a world-class design studio.”
Vernon added: “Beautiful design is critical to how the public perceives an organisation but, of course, it must be functional too.
“Cause and Effect is about bringing our combined expertise to people as passionate about their business as we are design.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
