Meadows students working on design concepts
FOX have been working for Creative Partnerships in Derbyshire on a school project aimed at Year 8 & 9 students. Over five sessions, the students have been engaged on a live project to develop a creative industries resource. Often challenging, but also extremely rewarding, we have had a fantastic time with the Meadows students and are very proud of how quickly they were engaged and got their creative juices flowing. The final book is a testament to their hard work.
"I've enjoyed working as a team and seeing our ideas come to life!" Charlotte

Fox have recently created the promotional literature for Mid Wales Opera 2009 production "Marriage of Figaro". This is the 3rd year that we have worked for Mid Wales Opera and this years production was quite a challenge! However, we are really pleased with the end result which is both strong and fresh.

After much scraping of windows and painting of walls - we have moved from our studio in Banks' Mill to a new 1000sq ft studio in Darley Abbey Mills. While our time at Banks' Mill has been nothing but positive - it feels great to be in a new space, particularly such an historic landmark. We are joined by artist Heather Duncan and creative facilitators Hub Agency which has already led to collaborative projects...
If you would like to come down to the mill to discuss your design requirements, please don't hesitate to call us on 01332 203234 or drop us a line on info@foxgraphicdesign.com. We'd love to see you!

The new 'Poetry in the Waiting Room' publication is currently being produced and features writing from patients within the children's hospital itself. Fox commissioned poet and writer Mike Wilson to lead 2 workshops with children who were patients at the hospital earlier this year. Their work has then been produced in this small publication which also features documentary photographs of the sessions. Poetry in the Waiting Room will be distributed throughout the whole hospital in early October.]]>;)
Tonight a new exhibition in Derby Museum will be launched. Creative Thought is a community learning project which encourages the use of museums to inspire creativity. This
exhibition brings together newly commissioned art and craft pieces and
museum objects in a collection inspired by The Silk Mill and its
history. In January, resource boxes containing objects from the
exhibition will be available to borrow from the museum for use with
adult community groups.Fox have been instrumental in developing the look and feel of the supporting material and interpretive design within the exhibition. Shown is the book we have produced for the exhibition which encompasses a wide range of historical and creative material.
Poet Arthur Gardner was diagnosed with MND in autumn 2007. Together with friends Jo Bell, Derek Adams and Andrew Bailey, he co-edited Lifemarks before MND took his life in April 2008. The first edition of 300 copies sold out within six weeks of publication, and the second edition is now on sale. Its continuing success is a tribute to Arthur, to all who contributed their work for free, and to the hard work of the MND Association. We published this book under our publishing arm of Cub.

The branding will be seen throughout the vast hospital site and we hope it will give visitors, staff and patients the encouragement they need to stop for a moment, take a breath, and view a piece of work that might just help.
