B&Q continues its celebration of the sentimental side of DIY

The campaign encompasses 17 different posters in total, all celebrating everyday tools such as nails, hammers and paint. They’re accompanied by short or single-word taglines, which speak to the domestic potential that a good bit of DIY can unlock.

“Even if you’re just putting a nail in the wall to put a picture up, you get a warm feeling – and that’s progress, that’s change,” Nils Leonard, founder of Uncommon, told CR. “It’s powerful, because in the world at the moment it’s hard to see us progressing. Our profiles are online. We buy things digitally. So physically changing your house is much more powerful than we give credit for.”

While doing research around the campaign, Leonard says he stumbled across the work of Richard Paul Lohse, who often used large, cut-out photography of objects – as can be seen in this Ausstellung Musikinstrumente Kunstgewerbemuseum Zürich poster.

It’s something Uncommon has referenced in the photography for the posters, which places relatively mundane objects front, centre, and close up.

“Lohse would do these insane annual reports, with a picture of a sink, or a spanner, and they’d be cropped and used really graphically in a powerful, gridded, Swiss, brutal way,” explains Leonard. “So it was about how we take implements like a nail or a spanner – the cornerstones of DIY – and speak to his spirit.”

Notably, the images sit on a vast expanse of B&Q orange – a colour Leonard says the brand often minimalises, but which Uncommon wanted to bring to the forefront. “It’s our orange tribute to Swiss Modernism,” he jokes.

The campaign follows hot on the heels of Uncommon’s Build a Life TV ad, both adopting the same emotionally-driven approach to DIY, and the ways it can help us to create a home.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
