Yep - it must be in the water over there in Melbourne cause its seems like the whole city is going under brand review or renew.
The Melbourne train and tram service contracts have been renewed… and with that, some new brandings too.

If I had to pick one thing that I absolutely love to do in my job, hands down it would be branding. Branding matters the most – it’s the smiling face, the moving lips and even the winking eye of a company that wants to communicate with its customers. In a world of so much choice and competition, brands are the most effective way of cutting through the noisy clutter to reach people’s hearts and minds.
So in a time with so much talk of recession this and recession that… it’s refreshing to see a supermodel strut through the crowd, stop and give you a wink.

You should get a Perm!
Or maybe just a Semi-perm? I did on the weekend and it was awesome!
But, I’m not talking about that fad 80’s hair do! I’m talking about Semi-Permanent. The super cool, two day design conference held up north in the big smoke of Auckland city. A momentous event in the design calendar, that is looked forward to every year!

Art with a Heart
Every now and then something will not only catch my eye, but perhaps even bring a tear to it. There are some amazing people out there doing phenomenal things, you only need to flick through a copy of dumbo feather (one of our favs!) and you will be filled with inspiration from people making art with meaning. I stumbled across artist Ray Ceaser on the weekend. At first glance his work seems dark, moody and surreal with a eerie frankenstein quality. It was the meaning behind his work however that got me. You may look his art and be puzzled as to where the heart is, but it is a perfect example of never judging a book by its cover….

Colourful Surprises
Again I fell down the rabbit burrow that is the internet and found myself in a wonderland of colours and colour combinations. They came together in amazing photography, some illustrations and even in logos. Some of these combinations were so yummy you just wanted to pick them off the screen and gobble them up.

Warm Afro Fuzzies
Sesame Street and The Electric Company give me warm fuzzies… I tracked down a clip and turned it into a poster for my alphabet loving 2yr old. I am quite taken with Bill Cosby’s vest. Vest? It’s a man-pinafore really. Mani-fore…

Music influenced art
There are so many differing factors that come together inside your head when your in the zone creating that something for yourself or your client… its the creative experience that I thrive on daily. Part of that experience is having fun and similar minded people working around me (you know who you are) and another is having an ever evolving sound permeating within the walls you’re working in.
