Client: Fika Swedish Coffee Break, Wanaka Brief: To create a new logo for a company rebrand (from Nordavia to Fika) that had a simple black and white colour scheme, with a bold look.

Client: Pembroke Patisserie, Wanaka Brief: To design business cards to fit with the overall branding of the company. Pembroke Patisserie wanted their business cards to reflect the overall brand identity of their company. They sell their baking and pastries at the Wanaka Farmers Market, and package them in brown paper bags or boxes - that are either stamped with, or sealed with, the logo. The business card was printed onto a heavy brown card, and the content was designed to look like as thought it was stamped on. Their logo featured both front a..

Client: Pembroke Patisserie, Wanaka Brief: To create a logo for a new artisan bakery in Wanaka, New Zealand, who create quality, authentic hand crafted French pastries and desserts. Kirsty and Matt from Pembroke Patisserie wanted a logo that had a vintage and French feel about it, and conveyed feelings of luxury and quality. The logo also needed to be monochromatic, so that it could be used as a stamp on brown paper bags, and as a sticker to seal boxes. They wanted to use a script font and have a curly letter 'P'. The final design use..

Client: Wanaka Fine Art Gallery, Wanaka, Otago Brief: To design and build a new website to replace an existing out-of-date and impractical one. The new owners of the gallery, Peter and Lyz Dozzi, inherited a website when they bought the business. The website was old, and also required a web developer to make updates and changes to the site. For a growing gallery business, this was adding additional cost, and meaning simple changes could not be implemented quickly or easily. We discussed with them building a brand new, comprehensive website that..

Client: Northlake Junior Duathlon, Wanaka Brief: To create a poster, booklet, flyers and entry forms for a kids duathlon event. Branding needed to be family-friendly and fun. To create the look for the Northlake Junior Duathlon materials, we took a photo of the venue (the Northlake subdivision) and used that to create the shapes of the mountains in the background. We wanted to represent the different types of sports included in the race, as well as the age of the competitors in a visual way - so created three silhouette figures to represent eac..

Client: Hikobike, Wanaka, New Zealand Brief: To create a logo for a new brand of electrike bikes. The logo needed to be script based. For this project the client provided an example of how they wanted the logo to look with a brush script font. We took that concept and found another less commonly used font and used that as the basis for the logo. As 'Hiko' represented the Maori word for Electric, we wanted to include some design elements from the Maori culture within the logo. We added a subtle koru design into the logo, by adding the ..

Client: Nordavia Bakeshop, Wanaka Brief: To create a logo for a new artisan bakery business that would incorporate some key elements (reindeers, hearts) while also portraying a sense of sophistication and a high-end product. Nordavia was a bakeshop in Wanaka, specialising in authentic Scandinavian baked goods. The owners Pete and Zoe, had clear ideas about what the logo should incorporate, however whenever these ideas were presented to them in a complete logo form they realised that there was too much going on. We pared back their ideas, and si..
