Busy, busy, busy but always on the hunt for more.

Friday, May 1st, 2009

With the current global economic situation, you would expect design work to be drying up but for us, things have been pretty crazy around the Toast studio recently – as we’re juggling up numerous print and packaging & design projects, product photography, motion design, interviews (yes, we are THAT busy) and a lot of web work. We are very excited to be nearing completion of phase one of Gardening Central which has been a very big undertaking for us, but it will not end there.

You can follow us on twitter, facebook and YouTube and if you need to get some design work done, don’t hesitate to drop us a line. We don’t bite, often.
