Amazing to see the work from all the students being projected up alongside the DJ sets from @freddeak.in and @___jak00b 

A special shout-out to our group, @kylew.designs, @abedesignz_ and @allieamaranth , for all their creativity and hard work!

@freddeak.in kicked off the night with a brilliant talk about the “messy middle”, that uncertain, experimental space where creative ideas take shape.

Then came the visuals: work from students responding to the previous week’s brief, alongside new studio @scanclub.studio , founded by former students. Such a great reminder of the creative community KIN brings together.

Loved catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Huge congratulations to the whole KIN team (@miss_njw  @juliebaghurstdesign @ailidhjamiesondesigns @romanlove.media )with a special shout-out to @kirbyorgan_ for the incredible identity and marketing work!

If you dont already be sure to follow @kin.abz to find out what is coming up next in the North East!

New Client: @pitlochryft 

Some projects remind you exactly why you started.

We’re delighted to share that we have been appointed to work with Pitlochry Festival Theatre on a new exciting project.

Since 1951, Pitlochry Festival Theatre has been the artistic heart and soul of Highland Perthshire. As Scotland’s only major, rurally located arts organisation, they are more than simply a place to come and see a show, and their purpose is to improve lives by sharing Pitlochry with the world and the world with Pitlochry.

We can’t tell you what we’ve been working on just yet, but it’s already been a fantastic collaboration, full of the curiosity, ideas and creative energy that made us fall in love with design in the first place.

We can’t wait to share more...

We’ve been a little quiet on social this week, and for good reason.

As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of creative talent in the North East of Scotland, we’ve been mentoring at the first-ever Rotate Fest, an initiative by @kin.abz that brings students and industry mentors together to tackle a collaborative group brief.

Our Creative Director, @because_flash_gordon , spent two days helping the students develop their ideas and exploring the city with them in search of inspiration. From studying graveyard typography to exploring themes of life and death, the group has been developing its own interpretation of the “messy middle”, that uncertain, experimental stage in every creative career or process where ideas are explored through questions, prompts and different formats before finding their direction.

The resulting work formed part of a series of visuals displayed at the festival’s closing party, featuring the incredible @freddeak.in . It was amazing to see the work produced by all the groups and to take part in a very informative Q&A afterwards. A special shout-out to our group, @kylew.designs, @abedesignz_ and @allieamaranth , for all their creativity and hard work!

We’re also delighted to be mentoring once again at this year’s @intl.international Festival, always a highlight of the design calendar, but we’ll share more about that soon. 

Events like these are hugely important, not only for developing collaborative creative practice, but also for helping emerging creatives hone the soft skills that matter throughout their careers: articulating ideas clearly, listening to others, growing in confidence and presenting their thinking to both their peers and larger groups.

Investing quality time in emerging creatives is incredibly important to us, and it’s a process we genuinely enjoy. Our role was never to dictate the outcome, but to give the students the space to discover their own path, supporting, encouraging and guiding them as much as possible along the way.

🎟️ Tickets are still available for Fred Deakins talk and dj set next Thursday. Pop along and join us on what will be an amazing night! Link via the @kin.abz bio. by @form_digital

New client: Studio Form

The cobbler’s children have no shoes… and apparently, neither do we.

We’ve spent years helping other businesses shape their brands, tell their stories and produce award-winning creative. Meanwhile, our own case studies have been sitting patiently at the bottom of the to-do list.

The truth is, when you’re busy doing great work for clients, it’s easy to neglect your own brand.

So, we decided to take our own advice: treat the business like a client.

We’ve set aside dedicated time to step back, reflect on the work and show more of what goes into it, from the thinking and collaboration to the craft and final results.

Our case studies are finally getting the attention they deserve. Better late than never.

We will be putting the spotlight on our new case studies over the next few weeks.

Our first selection is:

👘 @vadundee Kimono : Campaign
🚲 @mountainbikeworldwide : Website
🧶 @bosieknitwear : Brand refresh and Website
🔧 John Lawrie Metals Ltd: Website
🥕 AA Carrots: Brand identity

New Client: Hillhouse Events

We’re delighted to be working with Hillhouse Events.

Over the past year we’ve been helping shape a new brand for a collection of exceptional private homes, creating an identity that reflects a different kind of luxury. One that’s rooted in family history, genuine hospitality and the small details that make people feel at home.

Like many of our favourite projects, this has been a true collaboration. We worked alongside @kirstenmakes on brand positioning and tone of voice, with @forecreativeagency and @simonhird capturing the photography and film that bring the experience to life.

It’s been a brilliant project to be part of, and one we’re incredibly proud of.

We can’t wait to share more over the coming weeks.

Five Awards. One Incredible Night.

🥇Gold - Packaging - @theglenrothes with @zonecreationslondon

One of the real highlights of the night was seeing our client, The Glenrothes, take home Client of the Year. After more than seven years of working together, this win meant so much to us. It’s a proud moment for everyone involved and a real celebration of a partnership we value deeply.

🥇Client of the year - @theglenrothes 

To our clients and creative collaborators: thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership. This recognition belongs to all of you as much as it does to us.

🥕 New Work: AA Carrots Brand Film 🥕

AA Carrots was ready to grow a brand that reflected the quality of the business behind it.

Since 2006, the family-run business has built a strong reputation as one of the leading growers of organic and conventional carrots across Moray and Aberdeenshire. With years of expertise and a well-established presence, the next step was creating a brand identity that matched the care and dedication that goes into everything they do.

Working alongside our long-term collaborators at Flux Video, we wanted to bring that story to life through film. Rather than simply showing the harvest, we aimed to capture what makes the business unique, from the vast scale of the fields and harvesting machinery to the quieter moments that reveal its family roots.

Using aerial footage, close-up moments and unexpected perspectives, the film follows the journey from field to trailer, celebrating the people, precision and craftsmanship behind every crop. Along the way, we also captured the small details that make AA Carrots what it is, including one of the family’s much-loved dogs, whose habit of stealing carrots became the inspiration behind the playful dog marque within the new identity. It’s these genuine moments that help tell the story behind the brand, making it feel as authentic and characterful as the business itself.

🏆 We’re delighted that the project picked up Gold at this year’s @scottishdesignawards in the Brand Identity for Business category.

🥕 New Work - AA Carrots 🥕

AA Carrots were ready to grow a brand that was rooted in its practice.

Since 2006, the family-run business has built a formidable reputation as a leading grower of organic and conventional carrots across Moray and Aberdeenshire. The business already had deep roots, proven expertise and a strong market presence. What it needed was a brand identity that could carry that credibility into its next phase.

The new identity needed to express all of that with clarity, confidence and charm. We developed a brand world inspired by the realities of the farm itself. The colour palette drew from the landscape and machinery of the harvest, with burnt oranges, rich browns, warm yellows and layered greens creating a sense of place and personality.

Photography and a brand film completed the picture. Our Creative Director, Mark, led an on-site shoot during harvest, capturing cinematic moments of the process alongside candid portraits of the team.

We were delighted to have this project nominated in this years @scottishdesignawards in the category of Brand Identity - For Business.

New Case Study: The Glenrothes 51

REDEFINING LUXURY

The Glenrothes 51 is more than a rare whisky. It is an experience defined by craftsmanship, precision and anticipation.

Commissioned to create the complete presentation for one of The Glenrothes’ most exclusive releases, our role extended far beyond packaging design. From strategy and structural development through to material selection, artwork, production and launch assets, every element was carefully considered to create an object worthy of the whisky it protects.

A true collaboration with @theglenrothes and @zonecreationslondon 

We were honoured that this project went on to collect multiple globally recognised awards:

🥇 1st Place - Luxury - @thedieline Awards 2026
