Departures

Departures take their clients on colourful, engaging visual journeys. The indie branding and graphic design studio have quietly gained a good name for themselves for simple yet stand out designs for household names. Their literature and billboards use vibrant hues — hot pinks, apple greens — and powerful photographic portraiture to present clean, clear messages; often bilingually.
Their fresh, creative approach has won them accolades — their work on the title sequence for Byw yn yr Ardd was nominated in the Best Graphic Design category in the BAFTA Cymru Awards 2009 while their Annual Report for S4C — More than Words — received a Highly Commended in this year’s design section of the Howard Smith Paper Awards, winning in the Print category.
Other clients include BBC, Boomerang, Barnardo’s Cymru, Gwdihw, Mwnci, National Assembly for Wales, Plaid, The Gate, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, Visit Wales, Wales at the Venice Biennale of Art and the Welsh Language Board.
