I have been radio silence here for a good while, in part due to a lovely long term booking with the team .tech, working across a portfolio of tech brands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Hopper are on a mission to increase diversity in the tech industry whilst building innovative new products, accelerating client growth, evolving new working methods and challenging ways of thinking - they were a great client to be involved with. Pictured here their badass namesake Computer Scientist and US Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Urban Room Folkestone is a space where people can come to understand, debate and get involved in the past, present and future of where they live, work and play.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The purpose of an Urban Room is to foster meaningful connections between people and place, by using creative methods of engagement to encourage active participation in the future of our buildings, streets, and neighbourhoods.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking all of this into account i designed a simple brand identity, taking the U and R from 'urban room' which has the dual meaning of 'you are'. This creates the wonderfully simple logo mark 'U R Folkestone' which perfectly encapsulates the ethos of the project and space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The logo mark was then turned into a neon sign by artists .diane and . A dream come true for me as a long time lover of neon.

A simple website design for Folkestone Fringe, designed in 2016 whilst working at Progress Agency. The needed to update their existing site to showcase their projects, promote events and secure future funding. Development was provided by the in-house team. All in all a pleasing digital success.

Folkestone’s restored Harbour Arm is a beautiful promenade out at sea with a World-class view.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has evolved over a period of 200 years, originally built as the railway terminal for the Folkestone- Boulogne Ferry, later becoming a departure point for thousands of soldiers on their way to the Western Front. Passenger crossings resumed in 1946, before falling into dereliction for decades when the ferries stopped running in 2000.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since 2014 Folkestone Harbour Arm has been re-imagined and repurposed as a place where people come to promenade, enjoying magnificent views, a wide choice of good food and drink, live music, arts events and other entertainment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Harbour Company needed a distinctive brand identity, signage and wayfinding to launch this exciting new venture. I worked as art director and lead creative on this project whilst working at Progress Agency. I worked closely with the Harbour Arm team designing an identity that could grow and evolve as the site grew. A bold colour palette, striking patterns and a street food, festival vibe was utilised across all channels of communication.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The branding was beautifully interpreted by the agencies (former) in-house digital design guru and built by the development team. Iconic signage was created in partnership with a prestigious typographic mural artist and their team. Social media templates and printed programmes of events provided further marketing support.

The Waiting Room is a small bar tucked away in the renovated corridor on Folkestone's Harbour Arm. It is the original waiting room for the integrated rail / sea /rail service between London and Paris, via Folkestone and Boulogne that commenced in 1849.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The team wanted something quirky that somehow reflected their unique location on this concrete and granite pier that stretches into the open sea off Folkestone and looks back onto the land and cliffs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using the Scandinavian folk tale of The Kraken as inspiration, I combined bold, orange contemporary type with a victorian style illustration of an Octopus as the basis for this brand identity.

Back in 2019 for the fourth year of Profound Sound and the third year of branding and design by .oiseau.design
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The festival "continues to grow and build, in terms of bringing a truly alternative music offering to the South East. A weekend programme, loaded with some of the most diverse artists, practitioners, and workshops in the world today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Three nights of impeccable music and a whole heap of workshops, talks, and performances during the day where visitors could work, play, experiment and interact alongside the artists on the programme. A true gem of a festival with an incredible line-up of brilliant talent to liven up the darkest days if winter." Text from event programme.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hosted by and , in 2019 we mixed up the vibe using a stunning graphic image by . This brought a total freshness to the event promotional materials which was really well received by the clients and audience.

Profound Sound is an experimental music situated in Folkestone. Reaching across traditional forms of music to the fringes of sound-art covering song and instrumental performance, spoken word, radio broadcasting, sound installation, contemporary classical and jazz, electroacoustic, sound-art, performance, film and video. Coaxing music makers into the public arena and offering workshops for all ages. Hosted by and
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2018 I was asked back to the team to refresh the design of the festival programme and supporting marketing materials. I used a collaged artwork by as the festival cover image and introduced a fresh colour palette, new logo and updated look and feel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy clients for the second year running and an invite back on board for 2019.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hot Salvation and Folkestone Fringe first asked me to come aboard the team for the Profound Sound experimental music festival in 2017. Using a collaged artwork by as the central image for the marketing materials, I designed a programme and posters for the event with a music zine look and feel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other than making things look nice and communicate effectively, I also bring organisational skills to the table - because these are what are essential for laying out events programmes that are changing in detail up to the final hour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The end results was happy clients, a great festival and an invitation back to the team for 2018 and 2019.

It's not time for at all, but here we are. I am Fiona and I am Studio Oiseau. In lieu of any fabulous candid photography of me deep in thought at my iMac, I am going to use this selfie of me looking serious in glasses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Formerly of Brighton and London, I am now situated in the coastal wilds of East Kent. After spending almost a decade working in digital agencies, I moved into branding and print around 2011 and settled into my groove. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I sometimes work directly with my clients and sometimes team up with .agency to work on larger scale projects. I love a collaboration and the power of a good team. I also love the flexibility of being freelance, the variety of projects I am lucky enough to work on AND that I can fit it in around raising a child. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So there you have it. Me putting myself out there on the gram, ON A MONDAY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"EDGE:PUSH/PULL is about movement, the friction caused by change – and how change impacts on different sections of our community; playing out in our streets, our homes and our places of work." (Text taken from programme)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2017 saw the fourth Folkestone Triennial, which took the title 'Double Edge'. I worked closely with the Folkestone Fringe team to design the programme for their response to the international arts festival with their own title of 'Edge: Push/Pull'.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love working with the team, who have trusted me with their brand development and design work for the different strands of their work for years. The photograph I selected for the programme perfectly captures the push/pull relationship between sea and land, and provided a beautiful visual for this A3 map-fold printed programme.

Last day of the summer holidays and 6 months of no school, and I feel like the guy on the right in the hat. Two of my favourites - left hand monochrome print by the very talented and a Mexican folk painting by the famous Lorenzo Family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In 2019 I decided to get in the sea and swim more. I joined Folkestone Sea Swimmers on their regular dips, went by myself and started to learn more about open water swimming technique. I was asked to submit some ideas for a logo and this was their favourite one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
