Throughout a diverse array of projects we prove we can think outside of the box and bring to life a concept into all forms of media: video productions, websites, animations, motion graphics, livestreaming, social media and events. As we enter 2020 we look forward to even more exciting work with our clients.

As 2019 draws to a close and the festivities begin, our offices will close from 23rd December 2019 until 6th January 2020. We take this opportunity to wish our network of customers, suppliers and partners, a very happy and smooth entry into the new year 2020. We use this time also to reflect on our activities over the past year, demonstrating the wide range of services we offer across the many projects we have worked on.

This festive season we’re doing something special here at Design & Data. Sending gifts in winter is a time-honoured tradition but producing and posting seasonal gifts has a heavy carbon footprint. We believe that Christmas doesn’t have to cost the Earth.

For ECMWF we produced an explainer animation video to highlight the upgraded forecast system (46r1), which improves on current modelling. The video was created to be used by ECMWF in presentations and for its community to convey exciting and inspiring science.

Commissioned by Euroconsult, we created a daily summary of each of the five days of the World Satellite Business Week. For the first time the event was captured and shared in near real-time across the event’s website and Euroconsult’s social media channels.

As ESA is preparing the themes and topics for the upcoming ministerial Space19+, we used fictional storytelling as a tool to demonstrate the reasons why action needs to be taken to defend against dangers from space.

The second edition of the PhiWeek Bootcamp has just come to an end. Hosted by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Pi School in the course of the PhiWeek (6-10 September 2019), the goal of the event was to explore the scope of Earth Observation data by non-space industries by example through an industry or company relevant challenge, set by the official challenge partner.

Do you think you have what it takes to solve a big industry challenge using earth observation data? Apply now to join an intensive 5-day action-packed design sprint to prototype a solution, test it on real users and present to a jury. 

For ECMWF we have produced an “explanimation” video. Its aim was to briefly inform a general audience about the discovery, the origin and the historic international collaboration of the UN to deal with the Ozone hole. It was published on ECMWF’s social media together with the annual animation they publish on the annual reappearance of the Ozone hole.

Through our creative spirit, Design & Data is always keen to take on new challenges to become thought leaders for the space and science industry. We have prepared a showreel, which highlights some of our more interesting work over the last two years – from documentary series to event organisation, 3D animations and immersive video.
