Create. Shape. Mold.
This week in the studio we have gone back a few years to the days of salty play-doh. We have a poster campaign in the works for Enmore Audio and thought we’d give you a little teaser of the fun we are having. The idea behind the poster campaign is inspired from a music producers ...

Type design
This week in the studio we are conjuring up some hand crafted and creative typefaces, using found objects such as torn thread, and taking them into the computer. Below you can get an idea of some of our early outcomes, exciting! We find time and time again it pays to start with a tangible product. ...

Brand colour management
Colour is a powerful tool and for many businesses, an asset which must be seriously safeguarded. Tiffany’s were onto this idea almost two centuries ago. Their iconic blue colour was selected shortly after it opened its doors for business, dating all the way back to September 18, 1837! Today, that robin egg blue is a ...

A good book…or 50000
I think almost 92.65% of designers* would be insanely envious of people who actually have a huge space to fill with books and magazines and a whole bunch of creative inspiration like Karl Lagerfeld’s studio.
