Disa Dental brand identity and website launched - 10 March 2006

Disa Dental is a group of 4 dental practices based in Derbyshire. Although they were under common ownership and management, the 4 practices had previously worked independently of each other so we were commissioned to bring them together under the 'Disa brand'.

We designed and built the website which is fully accessible to all devices and browsers and compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act. We are currently in the process of improving the search engine rankings, however within a matter of weeks of being released, the website was ranked 1st with Google for "Dentist in Matlock" and various other useful search terms. We have also created colour advertisements for the local press and will be producing signage, stationery and brochures in due course.

Homefront Memories DVD - 10 January2006

Logo designed by Mark Pollak

The Homefront Memories Project used the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Second World War to collect reminiscences of residents in and around Wirksworth about life on the Home Front during the war. The project was coordinated by the Wirksworth Heritage Centre and Mark Pollak of Clifton Media was involved in various areas including the design and development of the brand identity for the project, including the logo, fliers, brochures and DVD Sleeve design. We are also producing a large exhibition billboard which will be on display in the Heritage Centre giving details of the project.

The interviews were carried out by volunteers from the Wirksworth / Matlock area, many of which had never used a video camera. Mark Pollak, together with Katya Coupland from Field of Vision, ran a number of workshops on interview and camera techniques. 56 interviews were carried out in total, and Mark Pollak edited the footage and produced the final DVD which is now on sale. Extracts from the DVD can also be viewed online at the wirksworth.net website.
