Description

Cipro required a complete brand revamp with the exception of keeping the then already created and established logo unchanged and incorporating it into the new ci. We came up with a fresh look centred around using the oval derived from the logo's shape. The oval lends itself to many variations and creative applications which ensures that the brand will stay fresh in the long run.

Description

When approached by celebrity interior designer Kim Hutton we realised that our challenge was to create an online presence that would match and compliment his company's tactile and vibrant approach to designing spaces.

To enhance the sense of textures onscreen we opted for elaborate patterns and colours and a unique navigation system consisting of a piece of recycled paper that folds and unfolds in various ways to reveal different sections of the site. The aim... to create an 'online tactile exhibition' to display the beautiful work Kim H delivers.

Description

To help position Clover's improved cream range as the market leader we came up with the idea of an interactive kitchen where users can explore, browse and participate all of which enhances their online experience. The kitchen consists of various areas, each of which have their own purpose and unique features. There is, for example, the fridge where products can be browsed and explored, the recipe book to which exciting new recipes are added continuously and the flatscreen where the latest Clover television ads can be viewed... and more. And on top of it all the kitchen stays true to reality with real time day and night modes and season updates.

Description

We were excited when we were assigned with the task of coming up with a visual solution for the Parliament of South Africa website. The site is content-based with a large portion being text which presented a challenge. We envisioned a look and feel that would first and foremost present the information in a clear and understandable way but secondly still have visual appeal and convey a sense of aesthetic sensitivity.

Description

GlucodeGlucodeGlucode

Description

We were approached to create a corporate id and website for iPhone app developing company Glucode.

Glucode or glue code is code that does not contribute to meeting the functional requirements of a program but is instead used to 'glue' different parts of code together. The logo plays with this idea as a section of a ring is not yet 'glued' into place and thus, by the way the section drapes over the ring, creates a visible 'g'.

Description

Jemax Aviation is an upmarket lightweight aeroplane charter and helicopter services provider who needed an online presence to compliment their no-nonsense approach to client service.

The project concept revolved around creating relevant scenes and images that would visually represent the kind of destinations the company typically charters to. Images were extensively manipulated and treated to create a super-realsitic, better-than-life look.
