Well, the World Cup is over, so it’s back-to-work time! But, before that, there’s just time to note my favourite World Cup moment. Not Argentina’s 24 pass wonder-goal, not Zizou’s crazy headbutt, not The Hoff’s enduring appeal in Germany, but the post-France v Korea scenes in Trafalgar Square. Several hundred Korean fans, all in head to toe red, danced wildly for two hours after the game – and then went round the square picking up the litter! It’s a funny old game.

The Sunday Times Magazine this week ran a major feature on Candice and her photographic campaign for fresh2o/Water Aid. Aside from being an outstanding fashion photographer, Candice is famed for her stunning underwater photography and her fresh2o campaign features a range of celebrities looking amazing under the water, most notably Keira Knightley. But the most entertaining images are arguably of Iron Maiden’s Nicko McBrain doing some spectacular aquatic drumming or of Judge Jules DJ-ing on the bottom of an Ibizan swimming pool. Candice has shot a number of covers and fashion stories for us both on location and at her south London studio – but we’re still waiting for a client to let us into the water with her!
Details of the fresh2o project can be found at fresh2o.org, while more of Candice’s work can be seen at candice.co.uk – or hanging in my hall!

Johanna Parkin, who shot the photos for a food feature we ran called ‘Around the World in 18 Tastes’, created a stunning photo for Saturday’s Guardian Weekend magazine. The photo of a puddle of red wine demonstrated Johanna’s trademark still life style – beautifully lit, meticulously arranged and magically composed. Anyone looking for a talented and incredibly nice photographer with an incredible eye for detail should Google her now!

We’re currently deep in design on a major new book project for VisitBritain. Available for sale from Autumn 2006, Images of Britain will be a stunning 416-page picture book. Arranged by theme, the book will show both the natural beauty of the British landscape and the diverse nature of contemporary British life. We’re delighted to be working with VisitBritain on such a prestigious project – and look forward to buying the book for all our friends this Christmas.

If it’s good enough for Tate Modern, it’s good enough for us! The world’s most successful modern art gallery today unveiled its new way of exhibiting its great works and so have we. In our interact section, you’ll find an exhibition of work by Lee Harding – the whizz and downright nice guy who designed and built our website. Lee has created sites for architects, photographers and chefs, but we’re proud to be his first publishing company. To find out more about Lee and his work, Google him! Or visit www.leeharding.co.uk.
Unlike Tate Modern we’ll be having another a re-hang soon – watch out for work by some of our regular photographers and illustrators. (We might even put some of our own personal creations online, too!).

Welcome to our new website – and our exciting new blog! We hope you like the site and that it gives you a good idea of what indigo 3 does – and can do. We hope it gives an insight into our creativity through the way it showcases some of our work to date. But, perhaps more importantly, we hope it shows our understanding of the direction in which publishing is moving.
To us, being a customer publishing agency doesn’t simply mean magazines – it means finding the right approach for each client. And it means working flexibly with our clients. And it means being friendly and approachable – just like the bouncy navigation thing on our website!
Enjoy the site and do let us know what you think – by phone, by email or by blog (if you’re feeling really modern).
