President’s Dinner – an unchosen concept
July 29, 2025
If you want people to open something you’ve mailed them, use this simple trick.
It’s our signature move. A version of Simone Biles’ double back layout with a half twist.
It’s so simple.
Use coloured envelopes. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵
What’s inside a brightly-coloured envelope will usually be something fun. An invitation to a party. A gift certificate. A promo you might actually want to keep.
Bills, invoices, legal stuff – they arrive in envelopes that are white, grey or that weird mustard colour.
Planning an event? Spend a little extra $$$ and pick a colour that matches your brand, or the event décor.
Think about the last time you received something in the mail you *wanted* to open.
We’ll guess it was hand-addressed and it didn’t look like a bill.
Colour is powerful.
We have envelope suppliers on speed-dial. Book a call if you’re planning an event and need a kick-ass invitation.
It’s that time of year when we start looking forward to the end of the working year, changes in the seasons, and celebrations over the New year…
Sometimes it can be hard to think of Christmas Cards (especially when the holiday season is months away). So we present a few ideas to get your creative minds sparking…
For the 2024 President’s Dinner event at State Library Victoria, we created two visual concepts.
This is the concept that didn’t make the cut, and we share some of the additional printing and finishing details.
We have 3 rules when designing merch / swag / promotional gifts: 1. Sustainable
2. Usable
3. Quality
Whatever the brief is, it’s exactly the same. Every project. Every time. Every design. It‘s just one word.
You never know where inspiration comes from : behind-the-scenes at a design project combining the vintage aesthetic of pre-1800 Japanese rare books, with a modern twist.
