Going the extra mile is a philosophy we should all aspire to, unfortunately that conflicting notion of there not being enough hours in the day sometimes gets in the way acting as a convenient excuse. Trial and Error appear to have found their way through this maze of contradictions. Not only are they designers but they are also keen observers and documenters, good but not good enough, add to that mix the odd workshops here and there and you have the complete package. […]

While their name may conjure up images of seven smaller than average people marching to work with shovels and picks, Studio Hi Ho are in fact team of two and as far I can tell are of average height! With big ideas, creativity and the strategy to match they have been lighting up the streets of Melbourne for a number of years now and may I say, they doing a damn fine job. I am however still hoping they at least […]

A nice man from Supply recently took the time to email me personally and give me high fives for my blog, so in the vein of one good turn deserves another, here’s a high five right back at ya. Supply really do not need my words of praise, however, their work speaks for itself as you can see. While they can turn their clever hands to many a discipline, personally I have always admired their […]

Finally, someone has spoken what we were all thinking, writing the bio on your website is not fun, it is awkward and everyone feels a tiny bit silly having to do it! Mash sum the feeling up well by liking it to putting an ad in a singles column; I whole heartedly agree. It has to be said however, that if Mash were to place that ad I am in no doubt that their door […]

Outstanding individuals

Allow us to regale you with a tale of perseverance, triumph and the American dream… Hailing from Eindhoven, the Netherlands, meet Rutger Paulusse. His misspent youth was pivoted around graffiti-based antics, as he grew older his interest for letters only swelled; he kept drawing and tagging, drawing and tagging. Because of that, a friend of his, a tattoo-artist, motivated our young hero to go to art-school. He’d never thought of that… thus registered himself for admission. Alas, […]

I have to say, being in this here blogging business, I read a lot of agency ‘profiles’. Many baffle, some astonish and others are just fancy words strung together, however Motherbird seem to have nailed theirs. Not only do they sound interesting they also appear to understand the true function of graphic design. I’ll let you read their words for yourself but needless to say the 3 C’s are present, creative, communication and clients. Needless […]
