Is it Christmas again already? After an eventful year, we will be logging off as of the 21st of December (tomorrow!) to take a much-needed break with our families and loved ones. But do not fret, we'll be back in the new year on the 4th of January ready and raring to go.

If we look after your website, you should have received an email with support details for the festive period, but if you haven't, just drop us a line and we'll let you know how best to reach us.

We hope you all get the chance to have some proper R+R and look forward to catching up in the new year.

PS. On behalf of @st.petrocs - a big thank you to our clients. Your support this year will help homeless people in Cornwall over Christmas.

We're surrounded by a talented bunch here on Falmo

We're surrounded by a talented bunch here on Falmouth's Killigrew Street, from artisan jewellery makers to handcrafted coffee cocktails to craft beer conisseurs. And on December 11th our friendly neighbours are throwing open their doors for a Christmas Craft Trail, where you can get stuck in with some of Falmouth's finest makers, eat, drink and be merry. See you there?

@picklepegjewellery has more info...and see tags for all those getting involved...

Celebration of surf culture doesn't get much better than this.

The 10th Edition of @londonsurffilmfest x @vans_europe hits the capital from tomorrow, bringing the best of surf on film to UK big screens. It is always a pleasure to work on LS/FF, and this one was even more special after the hiatus. From visual direction to soundtracking the trailer music, the unabashed celebration of waves, coast and surf storytelling is us working in our element, with inspirational individuals like @approachinglines & @imaybesurfing that share the same outlook: bringing communities together in a shared appreciation of something special. Bring it on.

December 2nd-4th. Visit @londonsurffilmfest for links to tickets, and more info.

FROM THE ARCHIVE: The power of information architecture.

Back in 2014 we took a day at Trelowarren with the @coolearth team to help them understand their information architecture, not just for the website, but for how - as an organisation - they would move forward into growing individual support and creating more impact.

That session galvanised and put form to some big changes in how they operated, moving towards more open and transparent ways of fundraising online, and from 2013 to 2019 we worked closely with their team through a period of of huge growth and increased impact.

We believe taking time at the beginning of a project to look at the big picture, to understand how the mechanics of an organisation fit together with its digital organisation, is the way to set a charity or business up for success, and to create a designer/client relationship based on a shared vision and understanding.

Find out more about what we do via link in our bio.

We've taken a bit of a break from here recently, to focus on client projects like @becomecharity and @surfersagainstsewage, free our minds and be a team again. So what's new?

We had some fun recently making music for the audio recording of @strangercollective's At First Light event in #StIves, about the sea's influence on human #creativity, featuring insights and stories from @kaushman, @coddities (both pictured), @wordstertv and @saximpey. Link to the recording on our Stories.

Nothing says team building like a @surfersagainsts

Nothing says team building like a @surfersagainstsewage beach clean...

Meeting our new designer with bin bags and gloves, as part of an impromptu beach clean / team building day out at Porthtowan.

As well as welcoming Frann to the team, it was an eye opening experience. Porthtowan was on the SAS list of beaches needing cleaning, and we turned up expecting to get a massive haul of bottles, bags and bits. Instead the bags you see are filled with tiny fragments of plastic and rope. At first glance, the beach looked clean, but the closer you look the more you see...

“For the visual identity I chose to focus on the idea of imperfection since it felt like it was such a contradiction to modern of expectations of everything needing to look perfect. I was also heavily inspired by the Japanese aesthetic movement ‘Wabi Sabi’ and how we should appreciate the beauty of things that are in an incomplete or transient state.” Evie Sanders on the inspiration for Studio 37 Ceramics.

We spotted Studio 37 Ceramics - a branding and packaging project by the talented @_eviesanders - in the @graphicdesignfalmouth showcase. We enjoyed her simple visual approach, so wanted to share it as part of our own #joinedupdesign showcase. Plus, we also like pots.🏺

Say hello to one of our closest neighbours; the grey seal, common off Cornish coastal waters. 🌊

We wanted to share this beautiful illustration by our @mosshand today, inspired by last week’s #nationalmarineweek. It felt fitting to mark today’s publication of a landmark climate change report by the @IPCC, a reminder on why we want to keep our marine neighbours safe.

This piece was done with graphite, conté, and white acrylic.

PERUVIANS CALL IT POLLADA 🐓 
WE CALL IT A GREAT WAY TO SAVE RAINFOREST 🌳

The Amazon now emits more Co2 than it is able to absorb, accelerating the climate crisis. Most of these emissions are caused by fires, many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production. Devastating news, but people can put it right. @coolearthaction is an organisation that works directly with rainforest communities to halt deforestation and its impact on climate change. We helped them setup the Pollada fundraising campaign; a Peruvian party to save the rainforests.

Check out the link in our bio to see how you can get involved with fundraising, or to throw a party yourself (make sure you tag us and @coolearthaction in your pics - we'd love to see).
