Uusi illustrations
We’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with some great illustrators on projects recently, and our recent work on Nokia’s Tone of Voice guidelines has been no exception. Kate Moross, Supermundane, Adam Hayes and Deanne Cheuk have all been involved with bringing to life some of the ’10½ beliefs and techniques for writing for Nokia’.

Back in March we produced an exhibition for the launch of Nokia’s new typeface Nokia Pure, at the Tramshed, Shoreditch. Since then we have installed condensed versions of it at Nokia’s Soho office and at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. Here, we take a look at the hard work that went into them all.

Nokia unveil the N9
It’s an exciting time this week for all things Nokia as they launch their new smartphone, the N9.
There’s already been a wave of positive feedback on blogs and social networking sites, some people touting it as the first real rival to the iPhone from the Finnish giants. It seems the design of the user interface (UI) has won a lot of praise. Featuring no physical buttons on the face of the device, the screen truly takes over, allowing users to be completely immersed in the new Nokia interface.

Nokia Pure Exhibition
Nokia is going through a huge transformation in order to reclaim its position as a leadership brand once again. The most visable touchpoint for the brand is its typography so Nokia commissioned typography experts DaltonMaag to create a new typeface to portray a strong minimal identity referencing the brands’ Finnish design led heritage.
As brand guardians, DesignStudio were challenged with the task of launching the new font Nokia Pure to a creative audience. Our challenge was to create a ‘wow’ factor event that had credibility, as it was an event for our peers within the design community.
