Dinosaur

Manchester’s Dinosaur – yes I have been going through my ‘Manchester studios’ bookmarks – have got the kind of elaborate, themed website that takes me back to the days when every studio and agency had a full Flash site. They’ve also got an impressive client list and some really nice looking work.

MNP

MNP are a Greek creative studio – a first Hellenic entry for Bitique – with a really impressive portfolio of work from over the last 7 years. I particularly like the work produced for the Greek National Theatre – a body of work including identity and branding, catalogues, posters and online marketing.
