Climatlantic

Chris — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 16:26:24 +0000

Commissioned by Merseytravel www.climatlantic.co.uk is a fun and easy to use website for Primary and Secondary schoolchildren, teachers, parents and guardians. The website and games promote carbon reduction activity and environmental awareness, such as turning off lights, using public transport or planting a tree.

Climatlantic is a partnership of European countries: Ireland, UK, Portugal, Spain and France, located along the Atlantic coastline and working together to reduce their collective carbon footprints. Visitors to the website’s homepage are invited to make a pledge and help save the planet. After pledging you/schools are automatically sent advice to help fulfill that pledge.

The multi-lingual website has been designed with help from Holy Spirit School in Merseyside and Connah’s Quay High school in Flintshire. The children choose the colourful funky style of the website, the cool animal characters, including their names and also helped develop the game concepts. Climatlantic’s eco-guides are called Ollie the orangutan, Ula the parrot and Roofus the polar bear and appear throughout the site and games. Thanks to the fabulous illustrator Tracy who helped bring the children’s ideas to life.

Chris — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:46:22 +0000

Clwydian Range, upland frontier of North Wales, is an unmistakable chain of purple heatherclad summits topped by Britain’s most dramatically situated hillforts and linked by Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail. Famous for its stunning views, this is one of the least discovered yet most welcoming and easiest to explore of the UK’s finest landscapes.

Splinter, in partnership with Hi-Clarity Communications, have just delivered a comprehensive branding development for the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Consultation sessions were held with stakeholders, staff and local businesses to ensure that local ownership of the process was shared throughout.

In particular the following outputs have been delivered:
- Brand Review
- Communications Strategy
- Brand Guidelines
- Sense of Place Toolkit

In addition to the above brand documents Splinter has also produced a range of supporting materials and media such as:
- Tourism leaflets
- Local transport maps and timetables
- Photography
- Website featuring bespoke mapping tools
- Display materials

Following on from the award winning Clued up in Hull children and young people’s website, Splinter were asked to design and produce an additional game to add to the ’13 and over’ section of the site. The game was made primarily to inform young people on the various forms of environment related crime that Hull City Council sees as a problem.

It’s split into four mini-games, each dealing with a type of crime, including fly tipping, littering, graffiti and dog fouling. Play the game here.

Grow

Chris — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:18:33 +0000

The Local Work Guarantee is a new scheme offering a different type of opportunity for out of work people in Hull wanting to find long-term employment and employers looking to address skills shortages. Splinter developed an identity for the scheme focussing on the positive outcomes for participants, businesses and the scheme’s partner organisations.

We have produced a wide range of media for the launch including logo & branding development, website, marketing pack, merchandise, launch event materials and advertising solutions. In order to ensure the campaign is believed by stakeholders, and has local relevance, we commissioned new photography of the actual individuals taking part in the scheme, and utilised them throughout.

Splinter has re-designed the Snowdonia Mountains and Coast ‘The Active Destination’ bilingual guide. Working with Gwynedd Council we produced the 80 page A5 document promoting the wide range of outdoor leisure activities available in the area. We were selected by Gwynedd Council because of our experience of producing Welsh / English documents and our understanding, and creative interpretation, of their corporate guidelines. The high quality brochure promotes the activity tourism products within Snowdonia National Park, Llŷn Peninsula and Cambrian Coastline.

The Real Wrexham

Chris — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:42:03 +0000

Splinter won a competitive tender to design and create the Real Wrexham guide 2008 and 2009 for Wrexham County Borough Council. The Guide was split according to specific themes identified as target markets, and colour coded accordingly. Splinter provided all copywriting, and costed and managed the selling of all advertising space.

As with all Welsh Local Authority publications, we were required to produce the Guide bilingually. Therefore, two versions were produced, with 90% of the total run written in English and 10% in Welsh.
