To help the Energy Saving Trust promote renewable heating subsidies to home owners, we created a campaign based around a series of photographic narratives, each one telling a different story of the benefits of the scheme.

The new year sees us producing animations for a new brand identity. As ever we love getting back to basics, so the scissors and sticky tape are out.

October saw OPX partner Antony Harrington take to the stage at TYPO London 2011. It was a great opportunity to show off some recent type-focussed OPX projects, plus a sneak peak at London Typographica, our very own smartphone app and website aimed at type and lettering enthusiasts.

London Typographica is our studio pet project. Aimed at type and lettering enthusiasts, we are creating a smartphone app and website 'dedicated to mapping the typographic landscape of London'.

An added bonus of the map is all the photos of a specific example will be documented in a chronological order, which means it will be possible to see how type is changing or degrading over time.

To celebrate the launch we collaborated with Graham Bignell and New North Press to produce some limited edition lettterpress posters.
