Mac Premo / Zone Stings

To mark the launch of its new website, digital agency Zone has commissioned a series of stings from a range of leading illustrators, film-makers and animation studios including our very own Mac Premo who's sting entitled Words & Pictures you can see here.

The full reel of stings is showcased on the Zone website and strengthens the agency’s ‘living & breathing brands’ positioning.

Mac Premo was one of several creators briefed to bring to life a specific phrase reflecting Zone’s unique outlook and approach. These include: Fun & Games, Give & Take, Wise & Wonderful, Sound & Vision, Get Up & Go, Night & Day, Pride & Joy and Words & Pictures.

Creative director Giles Brenard says: “We’re a digital agency with a broad portfolio of content, so summing up Zone visually isn’t a simple task. Instead of just saying what we do, we aimed to capture the energy of the agency in a way that reflects our strong heritage in both words and design – with a visual spin that conveys the growing use of photography, illustration and video to tell stories in interesting ways on digital platforms. Each time people visit the site the stings refresh to give them a fresh angle on Zone.”

Introducing Gianluca Folì

We are delighted to announce that Début Art now represents Italian illustrator Gianluca Folì. Gianluca Folì is an award-winning illustrator who lives and works in Rome. He likes pizza but doesn't play the mandolin. In more than 20-years of his career, Gianluca has pursued a path of study, of gaze, of search for his own intimate vocabulary. He explores the connection with things, visually referencing the objective correlative in the poetry of Thomas Eliot and Eugenio Montale which clearly represents emotions through things and the breaking of the boredom of everyday life. Gianluca's images stem from this narrative, transformed into shapes and colours by an alchemical process, with elegant momentum and modulation of the visual. The creative force of his images is balanced by a tightrope walking technique, in a happy and magical balance between drawing and color, between reality and the surreal. The arrival at a more direct code, made of synthesis and simplification, suggesting and ev...
