Just checked my email and I truly gutted that Designer's Republic has closed. Growing up in Sheffield it was difficult to miss their influence. From nightclub flyers, I still have my full set of flyers from the opening of Republic nightclub. To the covers of Pulp records, Designers Republic was the place to work for a creative, just wish I'd been good enough.
Goodbye Designers Republic

Your right about TDR - amazing work for Coke and other worldwide brands but potentially different personalities pulling the business in different directions. There can't be that much future in record sleeves and flyers - no matter how good they are. I am sure there will be a phoenix from the flames - you can't keep a good creative down - and they had more than their fair share.
