Wanting to place the dazzling images at the heart of the exhibition material, rckt began work on creating a piece that truely showed the images at their best.

The pictures are stunning images in their own right, but have a real scientific value too, as they originate from ESTOOLS’ ongoing research projects. Image creators provided a creative title for each of their pictures, illustrating their artistic vision, and a scientific description, to remind audiences of the origins of the image. Artistic value is accessible to a wide audience, and as a neutral expression of scientific reality the pictures promote thought and discussion without wielding influence.

Based on the former location of the Electro Works, this building is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most inspiring offices spaces in Europe, gaining coverage across the globe. With a unique “Helter Skelter” installation, that can take occupants from the 3rd floor to the ground floor in 7 seconds, the offering is something very special.

With a project as prestigious as Electric Works we were looking for digital specialists that we could trust. Rckt were exactly what we needed, and more. They gave the project a suitably impressive online presence, giving Electric Works the prominence it deserves.

The site works not only as an introduction to the brand and space, but is an integral part of the internal systems for both occupants and management alike. From online conference booking to hiring equipment, all can be done with consummate ease. The site was an integral part of creating the buzz surrounding the build and launch.

It’s an often quoted fact that more graduates stay on in Sheffield than in any other UK city, and Sheffield regularly tops the charts when it comes to best student city. The heart of the ‘Sheffield Made Us’ campaign encourages students, past and present to share their memories and experiences of how their time in Sheffield made them who they are.

Rckt created a suite of above the line material to support the campaign which included an overall identity, You Tube channel, print advertising, outdoor media and online banner advertising.

So, if you happened to study the University of Sheffield and have some great memories to share why not visit their You Tube channel and submit your own memories!

Over recent years the University had been creating video content, but this needed bring together into one powerful online home.

Rckt know us very well, and have a intrinsic understanding of our brand and its values. They have brought this brand understanding to the fore in creating a single home for our online video content. This gives us a great platform to use for student recruitment across the world

It was this in-depth market knowledge that the University of York were seeking when they asked rckt to develop a fresh visual approach to attracting students to their range of PGCE courses.

We gave rckt a simple yet challenging brief; create something a little different, that makes us stand out, and make every element feel part of a family. We were delighted with the results, as our profile at recruitment events has been raised beyond our expectations.

Rckt’s solution was based around an extremely adaptable ‘Q & A’ concept, which could be used to promote a wide range of subjects. A light-hearted, humorous tone and visual style linked all the elements of the marketing collateral together.

The North of England’s best research-led universities have come together to form a unique collaboration to enable business and industry to access world-class knowledge and gain a significant competitive advantage. This prestigious project chose Rocket to deliver their online presence.

The needs for all the universities needed to be met, and it’s quite an impressive line up: Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York. So we did well to impress them all, even though we say so ourselves.

Rocket continue to expand our expertise in the higher education sector and this project takes the number of universities we have worked with to almost 30, if you include the European institutions that are involved in the ESTOOLS project.

Have a little look at the N8 research website yourself.

We’ve been a trusted and popular provider of all sorts of creative services to the University of Sheffield for a few years now and the most recent offspring of this great relationship has been the creation of a brand new website for the University’s Executive MBA. The Management School asked Rocket to create something a little different and particularly wanted to tap into our experience of professional business to business communication.

Despite working with the University many times this project had a little unexpected twist. An off-line advertising campaign was well into the planning stage by the time Rocket came onboard and the launch date had already been set in stone. This meant we only had a couple of weeks from winning the work to making the site live. But everyone here at Rocket thrives of this sort of challenge. We worked together with our University pals and delivered the whole website in record time.

UHI Millennium Institute has launched its dedicated CPD service, through a new website designed and developed by Rocket. UHI is an innovative higher education institution offering vocational courses, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and research opportunities throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

Their brand new project sees them offering a range of courses under what is known as continuing professional development, or CPD for short. CPD are learning programmes designed specifically for people in employment, from small-scale businesses to larger corporations.

Behind the deliberate simplicity of the design an awful lot of work has gone into creating a website that is all about usability and giving people access to information about courses as easily as possible.

Take a look for yourself; you never know you might find yourself doing an e-learning course in Leadership Development!

For the past couple of weeks the web design team here at Rocket HQ have been talking to U Sport and we are delighted to announced that Rocket have been chosen as the designers for their new website.

U Sport is one of Sheffield’s leading sports and gym providers and offers a huge range of facilities from swimming, all weather pitches and a state of the art gym. They have come to Rocket to give their website design a fresh new look and feel.

The brief has some key challenges, such as presenting their really great range of services in a simple and easy way, and communicating effectively with their diverse range of customers and giving them exactly what they are looking for. But the team here at Rocket are keen and eager to deliver a really great website to all the fit and sporty types of Sheffield.

Rocket is as pleased as punch to announce that we have been selected by the University of the Highlands and Islands to develop a major new online project. After a tough tendering process, culminating in a three way pitch, Rocket saw off strong competition from across the country. This is a first for Rocket, as it is our first major web development project in Scotland and offers the opportunity to get to know a lots of new people.

The project involves extensive database and IT infrastructure integration, as well as drawing on our well known web design and development experience. What seemed to clinch it for UHI though
