3 Deep Design are a sophisticated bunch and rightly so. They openly admit that creativity is no longer enough in a such a rapidly changing world of communication and that it’s time to delve deeper. Their strategic approach must be paying off because there are some beautifully executed pieces of work emerging from that Melbourne studio of theirs. Kudos to a good bunch managing to tick both boxes. Tw @3DeepDesign / www.3deep.com.au
James Kape is a New York based designer so a slight cheat this week but the boy does hail from Sydney, Australia. He focuses primarily on branding, print and web design. James is inspired by refined design, typography and photography. He approaches each project with interest and enthusiasm, always striving to create something both visually effective and appropriate for its intended audience. A perfect candidate to join our troop of outstanding individuals me thinks. www.jameskape.com
This is a very special post to accompany a special week. As of next Tuesday I will be taking up a new full time gig at a fancy new agency and throwing myself head first into a barrel of branding and niche packaging goodness. The agency of choice is BRR, in my current home town of Auckland, New Zealand. With a strong focus on brand story and solid thinking, I might be biased, but they […]
Over on the western coast of Australia, sunny Perth plays host to our Southern hemisphere agency of choice this week – Organ Studio. We love the fact that they claim to provoke curiosity with their work, in turn we were curious about that interesting name of theirs. Turns out it’s a creative take on their ability to work in harmony with their clients and network of collaborators. We’re sure by now you are curious enough […]
We heart, We Love Inc… and we think you probably will too. Not only have they set up their offices in my two favourite cities in the world, London and Auckland but they are producing interesting and engaging work through great collaborations. Their team of 7 includes an illustrator, digital designer, spatial designer and research specialist, proving they can turn their hands to just about anything. A great example of a flexible and collaborative approach […]
Taking flight onto @long_whitecloud‘s weekly Cloud 9 this week is Melbourne studio Bird, led by Luke Carson. Their passion for design is the fuel for their fire, something which audibly shines through in their work. They also curate a candy-filled blog, regularly serving up a healthy dose of visual treats, ch-ch-check it. Tw. @designbybird / Tumblr: www.flywithbird.tumblr.com
The International Office are not the global high flyers their name may suggest, they are in fact a dynamic duo hailing from Wellington, New Zealand. Yep, that’s right just two blokes in an office with the occasional collaborating visitor if the fancy takes them – and the outcome is sublime. They’re obsessed with grids, typography and all things well made; three things that Designers Journal also have a fondness for. With this in mind let […]
One of my favourite design publications at the moment (obviously discounting the beauties I write for) has to be Process Journal. Beautiful crafting goes hand in hand with engaging content, wandering happily down the track of design critique. The credit for this piece of greatness goes to Hunt Studio based over in Melbourne. In addition to their work on the journal they also find the time to craft considered pieces of bespoke design across a […]
