Melbourne Design Award Winners!

It can be hard to think of original and creative Christmas ideas (especially when the holiday season is months away). So we present a few ideas to get your creative minds sparking.
While you’re here, why don’t you take a look at our Christmas portfolio?
Maddison Graphic created a fun card to notify clients about their new website, creating a Christmas tree shape from common digital icons.
Scott Carroll Designs used a similar technique, using typical American holiday season treats.
Victorian Bitter placed their brand on a jumper, together with icons celebrating Australian’s love of BBQs at Christmas (hopefully whilst drinking a can of VB beer).
This digital Christmas card comes from a stationery supplier – creating a wreath from different coloured and sized erasers. The technique is commonly referred to as a ‘flat lay’. If you’re a product-based business, what products could you use?
Elmwood created a Christmas card that doubled as a set of gift tags – celebrating an Australian version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Digital Cinema Media screen printed these tote bags, highlighting memorable quotes from movie franchises.
PPR took a look across its Australasian network with this advent calendar. Hidden behind each December date was a Christmas tradition hailing from one of their office locations.
The front of Futurebrand’s card featured some of the most talked about topics of 2010, and again in 2011.
Edelman gave the young nieces and nephews of staff the poem ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ to illustrate. Even the mice had Santa hats.
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.
Whilst we can’t claim to be experts, we know a thing or two about branding events. Here are 3 simple ideas to help you make your budget $$$ go far.
