Zaum & Brown was formed to offer cost effective design solutions to struggling artists and charities from all cultural backgrounds.
So many creative artists try to promote their talents at the expense of large agencies with massive overheads. Zaum & Brown can work with you to YOUR budgets, not a set price list!
A group of professionals specialising in all forms of creative media such as web and print design, illustration, photography, typographers, flash developers and asp.net coders. All involved are working with a passion for cultural arts and a desire to express themselves outside of the corporate shackles of boredom.
Projects currently under development include:
Anything cultural that gets our creative imaginations flowing, we want to be involved.
We are based in Norwich, UK. Location is key for successful agencies with big reputations but what they don’t tell you is a prime location means you pay more! We don’t reside in London, therefore we don’t charge London or big city prices, we are happy to work with anybody local, nationwide or worldwide.
Zaum (Russian) is a word used to describe the linguistic experiments in sound symbolism and language creation of Russian Futurist poets such as Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchenykh.
According to scholar Gerald Janecek, zaum can be defined as experimental poetic language characterized by indeterminacy in meaning. As Kruchenykh has it, zaum is a transrational language, "wild, flaming, explosive (wild paradise, fiery languages, blazing coal)," which awakens creative imagination from the manacles of everyday speech. Zaum "can provide a universal poetic language, born organically, and not artificially like Esperanto."
Zaum & Brown offers professional CD Sleeve design or artwork for your digital downloads at the highest level. We can either artwork your ideas or we can direct the creative process from start to finish. We can design to any templates so whether that's a standard jewel case insert, digipak, sleeve, wallet or something more bespoke we can design to suit your requirements.
Myspace page designs are currently one of the biggest ways for bands and musicians to promote their music and reach the masses. The online community for mp3's has become so huge we felt it was an essential service to offer customers their own customised Myspace page design.
Price for a myspace page design starts from £200. We can implement your artwork into the design which is included in your £200 or If you require band artwork designed for the page, that is an additional cost. For a quote, please just email your specifications and we will get back to asap.
It's important to have presence, but do you know how powerful it can be? A lot of bands and artists come to us for a myspace page but haven't understood the importance of a fully customised website design. Reaching your audience is one thing, but how do you get what you want from your fans, and do you give them what they want?
Not only can a website portray an image, it's a way to communicate with your audience. Keeping them up to date with latest news and releases, data capture, directing them to purchase your work, interact with users on a blog or forum and make your work available for download.
We can build anything from 1 page promo sites to fully interactive web builds with integrated custom content management systems so you can easily update your site with a click of a button. We don't just stop at standard web builds, we can push the boundaries with state of the art flash designs also built with a cms behind it.
Zaum & Brown compromises of a vast array of talented freelancers, so no job is impossible. Any artwork you require for your band is possible and we'll use the appropriate artists to cater for the style of artwork. The range of style is endless, whether you are looking for illustrated artwork, cutting edge graphic design, photographic life compositions, typography... we can do it all. If you have no idea what you are looking for, we can work on ideas and concepts to present to you to try and portray the right image for your band in the design.
No matter where you are based in the country, you can come to us for band photography and we will arrange for a professional freelance photographer local to you to turn up and get the photos you need.
No need to deal direct with the photographer, we will find the best one we can in your price range and arrange a shoot.
We offer a professional photo re-touching service to any existing photos you may already have or we can include it in any photoshoots arranged by us. Just let us know what you would like done, personal imperfections, colour tones, scenery editing, whatever you need.
We don't actually supply the merchandise but we do design the artwork and supply the print files for any band merchandise you may need. Some of the merchandise we design for include T-Shirts, Badges, Posters, CD & Record Sleeves, flyers and anything else you can think of, we can do it all for you. Just let us know what you need and we will source the templates required and either arrange a supplier for you or work with an existing supplier.
If you are organising a charity event or run a charity organisation involved in the cultural arts, please get in touch, we would love to help anyway we can.
