We are a Melbourne-based graphic design company with a fantastic group of designers from different graphic design and web design disciplines. Our offices are in South Yarra but our clients are spread right across Melbourne, Victoria and Australia.
Our approach for companies that have an existing brand presence is to create a design that reflects our clients image and works in with their current brand. For clients that come to us needing a brand we spend a lot of time creating a scope for both the brand and its application now and in the future. We feel that when creating a brand design it is important to give consideration all potential graphic design associated with it. Experience has taught us that spending a bit more time at this initial development stage saves time (and headaches) on the graphic design down the track.

Sometimes tv teaches you things. Many years ago when I was starting my first real job, I remember hearing the advice (possibly on Oprah) that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Designers get to wear jeans to work, but the advice is still relevant when it comes to what we do for our clients. Even if you’re a small business, there’s no reason why you should look like a small business, and we’re here to help you dress to impress.
If you’re serious enough to spend money on a logo and business cards, go the extra step and have them designed by a graphic designer rather than doing it yourself. You might have to spend a little bit more money for the design, but a (good) graphic designer will produce a result that is much more professional and will impress potential new clients. Plus, the graphic designer will probably have a print contact so you’ll end up saving on printing costs. By giving serious consideration to what your brand and printed collateral say about your company, you can start to attract the kind of clients you want.
Seeing with ears is more than I can hear.
My ears are ringing.
I don’t have an earring.
I can’t hear this image, can you?
Is it possible to have a visual soundtrack for your life?
Let’s see if we can do that.
We never think of a design project as small, we always try to imagine it as one part of a larger whole. Julia creates amazing works of art in the form of handmade ceramics and she asked us to design a little info card which explains how to use her kitchen graters. Although it would have been easy to just cut and paste Julia’s description onto an appropriately-sized piece of card, we came up with a design which worked well for the grater bowl and grater plate, but could also be extrapolated in the future for the other beautiful items Julia makes and sells at her shop. Because we gave the idea room to grow, the grater cards were soon joined by a card about Julia which has the same simple aesthetic and looks like it belongs to the original set.

We also designed specialty stickers that adhere to Julia’s ceramic creations.
There are few things more enjoyable than sitting outside on a balmy Melbourne evening eating yourself stupid on Spanish-style tapas and desserts. Hosting a successful dinner is not unlike pulling off a successful design project. You draw on inspiration from different sources and try your best to produce something appealing and interesting in the time you have available. The end result relies as much on the quality of what you have to work with as it does on your skills, but if you’re working with great ingredients and adventurous palates, it’s hard to go wrong.
This is where i say something cool but the images speak for themselves. I think I nailed the wallpaper in the end.

This pink design is with compliments from our wet table (the table we use to do paint and ink based designs). Featuring in this design is a toy I got in Spain. Hope you like it. I have been loving the iPhone wallpapers.

Day 2 of my free wallpaper. I chose to celebrate the fact that I always choose rock in the rock paper scissors game. Rock beats all, especially when you tell people that you intend to go rock. 9 times out of 10 they will choose scissors. What is with people?

If you notice the grain in this shot it is because it is old-school film. It is a shot looking down the tunnel at one of Melbourne’s underground train stations. If you can guess which station it is, send me an email (this week) and I’ll give you a special reward. The reward has little or no value but is totally cool (phew covered myself on this one).
