It was hugely encouraging to receive a call from a group of entrepreneurial ex-Amdega employees. Putting their considerable knowledge and expertise to work, with the help of Fusion, they’ve developed and launched the Chelsea Summerhouses brand. And to capitalise upon the key selling season, Fusion quickly produced a direct mail brochure and website to promote the new brand, with an imminent advertising campaign about to break. Given our summers we think the summerhouses will be a hit… even just to shelter from the rain in!

Fusion’s Mark Neale hit the big 5-0 recently and to commemorate the event, the guys in the Fusion studio created a wonderful illustration of the man…

Incredibly, Mark has been mistaken for Damon Hill on a few occasions, more recently he’s been likened to Eddie Jordan, but he’s most often referred to as Snoop Dogg by friends of his daughters. Adding further to the similarity between Mark and Snoop, they both own classic ’70′s Lincolns; Mark’s being a rather OTT ’72 Mark IV.

The illustration shows Mark in his pre-50 attire ; from now on it will be a Greenwoods for Men wardrobe…

The results were pretty striking; Darlington College’s publication really stood out from the plethora of other apprenticeship promotional material – so much so, it received a mention in Ministerial dispatches and the National Apprenticeship Service included it in a montage of activity for the Government office. Not bad for a tabloid!

Fusion are one of the members of Cleveland College of Arts Industrial Liaison Group – we feedback whether we think students are being thrown into the real world prepared with the required designskills. These, normally tame affairs, were spiced up recently when a female tutor invited three male members into the ladies loos! All was definitely NOT what it seemed… the female toilets had previously been the prison cells and came complete with cell doors and windows! Certainly puts another spin on the phrase “In the sh*t”! Seriously though, the college is set in an amazing building, as well as having been a prison cell, it’s also been the court room and library!

During a snowbound stir-crazy moment in the Fusion office, one of the designers crafted a rather creative weather-themed typeface called Wagbo – his inspiration was our unfortunate look-a-likey designer Ryan. Hopefully, he’ll take the hint and get his mop cut!
