Building the next thing—

[Sean Rees @sean_rees]

Personal news. It has been an honour to be Creative Director of @uned_studio, from it's inception in 2020 to mid 2024. Excited to announce that I am working on a new thing, with select clients & collaborators. If you have a project you'd like to discuss, it would be great to chat

Reminder: this is still the greatest ad ever made.

Alongside its parent brand, we also refreshed the @Temple_Of_Peace brand, informed by the building's iconic architecture.

New work for Cymru Global (previously @WCIA_Wales / Welsh Centre for International Affairs). A name shaped by our nation's past, our people, and the changes we want to see in the world.

Inspired by the post WWI / Art Nouveau period of their inception, we created a suite of joyful brand icons, packed with warmth and character.

Looks very likely there will be another Valleys book next year in some form, hopefully with some new photography!

[Jon Pountney @JonPountney1]

Looking for serious, interested publishers to help make a second edition happen!

Super interesting discussion.

I joined the greats @khole_emily and @HipCityReg on modem works to discuss the reality collapse, new gods, and the death of images, whilst wearing my cap radically backwards and hanging out on the side of a skyscraper https://t.co/K0DFK3lbpR

@Angharad_78 This is superb trolling. Surely? (Or is he actually this thick)

At what point does freelancing turn into being a ‘studio’? Asking for a friend…

[Jon Pountney @JonPountney1]

Thanks so much to everyone that made tonight a thing! Standing room only and Zucco sold out of pizza!

A great night!

[Sean Rees @sean_rees]

Stunning. (The book’s alright, too).

[Jon Pountney @JonPountney1]

IT'S HERE FOLKS!

After a few technical issues (I've never made a book before) I finally picked up all my Valleys books today, with a six hour round trip on the M5!

Thank you all for your patience; from next week I'll work out the best way to send them out in batches

[Jon Pountney @JonPountney1]

It's been emotional!

A labour of love for me and @sean_rees- we can't wait for you to see them
