The Drum brings you a round-up of some of the interesting creative work from recent campaigns.

Outdoor ad campaign for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s 2011/12 season by Glad Creative, with posters displayed in train stations, subway stations, and city centre bus stops around Glasgow leading up to the launch of the season.

Gyro has created a video for WDS, a provider of specialist services to the wireless industry, to showcase its offerings.

London-based design studio Root’s work for Ben Eine, one of London’s most prolific and original street artists, who specialises in the central element of all graffiti – the form of letters. The branding solution combines the black paint drips that Eine uses on the edges of his canvases with one of Eine’s signature typefaces, the Circus font, in the form of an embossed ‘E’. The identity has been applied to a stationery range mixing several processes, including screen printing onto duplexed card and applying UV to achieve a gloss finish.
Branch created an identity for Superyacht designers Claydon Reeves back in 2010 and over the last few weeks have worked on a range of materials including a new website, brochure and a set of adverts featured in Boat International. The approach for Claydon Reeves is based on elegance and simplicity letting the striking designs they produce speak for themselves. From a spot varnished logo on Business cards to foiled titles and textured papers in hand-bound books, premium materials and processes are used in all areas of their communications.
Pentagram’s Paula Scher and her team have created a bold graphic program for this year’s Type Directors Club competition, TDC 58.

The TDC 58 graphics treat the organisation’s acronym in a series of variations on experimental letterforms constructed of straight lines and concentric shapes.
