CQ-Portfolio-Page-500

Brochure for a residential development at Granton Harbour, Edinburgh. The design and artwork was carried out by SM&Co. while the account and project management was handled by the Edge Scotland. The brochure proved successful in securing a significant amount of sales both during and subsequent to construction.

The document is A4 landscape with a pocket on the inside cover to hold updated information, while the back cover has a throw-out showing the site and a floor plan of the building. The brochure was designed before the development was completed, so no interior shots were possible. Therefore, the design concept and imagery draws from the surrounding maritime environment and local attractions. NB. The Corinthian Quay logo was designed by a third party.

These postcards were nominated for a coveted Chip Shop Award in the category ‘Best use of shop window postcard space’. We believe that these postcards are an effective and economical way to advertise City Car Club as most of the club’s cars are located near newsagents. The postcards highlight the benefits of being a member, such as reducing pollution, free parking and how it's cheaper than car ownership. The publicity from the awards will also generate further awareness about City Car Club.
