Business Cards with Metallic Ink and Spot Varnish

Business Cards with Metallic Ink and Spot Varnish

We recently rebranded J&B Build – a construction and development company. We just received their business cards from press, which we designed along with their new identity.

And for all the Graphic Designers out there who may be wondering how a Spot Varnish over Metallic Ink looks, we’ve done that on the front face of the cards. It adds a very subtle sheen, which jumps out when it hits light at the appropriate angle.

Beauty salon – Identity, signage & print.

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Toast are nearing completion of another branding project, for a Melbourne Beauty and Tanning Salon. We’ve rebranded – creating a purely typographic new identity, storefront signage, street signage and print collateral.

Looking forward to sharing this one in the not too distant future.

We could probably do with a trip to Melbourne to pretty-up..

Packaging Design – SuperSoil Mulches, Mixes & Manures

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Packaging these kind of products presents two distinct and different challenges.

1) At the end of the day, poo is still poo and dirt is still dirt. To suggest otherwise is futile and dishonest.
2) The matter of recognition and distinction. These bags are often laid in piles, outdoors, dozens high, amid a slew of similar products, not displayed faceĀ first, but whichever way was most convenient to stack them. Ordinarily, they are also partially obscured by other products.

We addressed the challenge of providing optimum visibility and identification through strong application of colouring – most competing bags (and the previous designs for the SuperSoil Mulches, Mixes & Manures), mainly feature white coloured bags, with small amounts of washed out colour on parts of some of their faces.

The new designs are drowned in colour so that they can be spotted from a mile away and have recently been rolled out in landscaping and gardening centres around Sydney and Melbourne.
