Sheffield based company Fripp Design & Research is pleased to announce it had the pleasure of working on Comic Relief's most visible dimension, the Red Nose.
During the design development of the Red Nose for 2011, Comic Relief required photorealistic images of the proposed concept as a crucial aid to the sign-off process. With a very technically difficult brief, no 3D CAD and with a tight deadline, Fripp Design and Research used unique CAD technology, turning the work around and fulfilling the brief in very quick time. The project was a crucial stage in the process from the 2D hand-rendered creative idea into a tangible product enabling the lead design to be signed-off and the creation of a master mould.
Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK which strives to create a just world free from poverty, by driving positive change through the power of entertainment. Since its foundation in 1985, it has raised over £650m and worked in 76 countries around the world. Its major fundraising campaign, Red Nose Day, is held every two years and culminates with a night of comedy and entertainment on the BBC. A key piece of merchandise for the campaign is the famous Red Nose, which has sold over 60m units over the past 25 years.
Working on this project was to prove as exciting as it was exacting for the project team at Fripp as Tom Fripp said, "Although the process was demanding and required a high level of skill, all executed within a limited time frame, being able to contribute to Red Nose day in some small way was not a prospect we would have wanted to miss out on. And in keeping with the spirit of the event the team was happy to give their time to working on this project for free. We are just hoping the public take the new noses to heart and buy them in large numbers."
