Airside In IdN Eco-Graphics Special

July 20, 2010The latest issue of IdN Magazine is an eco-graphics special that comes with an 80-minute DVD featuring Airside’s animated short: A Beginner’s Guide to Giving a Damn About…Climate Change.

Inside the magazine's pages bound by a brilliant FUCKING RECYCLE cover, you will find a short interview with Airside where we share our thoughts on design and the environment.

This special edition of the International Design Network’s bi-monthly magazine also includes our former bookkeeper Aimée Furnival’s rather excellent Postcarden project.

IdN Magazine is on sale at all good design shops or online.

New-look BBC Asian Network website

July 15, 2010BBC Asian Network has just launched its new-look website, as designed by Airside.

The online home of the BBC radio station needed a visual system that could express the personality and values of each of the station’s 36 shows and presenters.

Looking to avoid clichéd representations of Asia, Airside created a modern take on British-Asia culture with a series of exciting and contemporary designs.

Playing on the station’s existing brand, we developed a series of illustrations to represent each individual show, from swirls that morph into Bollywood sparkles and luscious scripts to edgier abstract patterns.

The result is a diverse yet coherent set of images that reflect the variety and richness of British-Asian culture.
