Featured: Vivid! The Allure of Color in Design

Color is often the first quality of a product to attract the attention of a consumer and stimulate imagination. Whether soothing or agitating, cheering or depressing, color certainly demonstrates the ability to provoke sentiment.

Scouring the globe for the best in international design, the publishers of Vivid! – The Allure of Color in Design chose two projects from THERE, featuring our identity work for La Luna and Stylecraft. Both projects made use of strong colors to communicate brand values in a direct, engaging way. Available around the world, right now.

A Grand Surprise

Usually we’re happy with a nod of approval or a simple ‘Thank you’ email, so you can imagine our surprise and delight when a lovely gift, completely unexpected but very appreciated, was delivered yesterday. It’s prompted us to reflect and mention something we never forget, but perhaps could say more often; To our clients, thank you. Without you, There would be nowhere.
