Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute Annual Report
We were honoured to help the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (VCCRI) with their annual report. An important part of their communications mix, VCCRI use the report to document their research achievements and contributions to public awareness and education, to profile the organisation and review fundraising activities.
The VCCRI is named for Victor Chang, a pioneering heart surgeon who tragically died. The 2012 report marked 20 years since his passing, and thus the theme for the report was to remember and celebrate his remarkable achievements and life story, as well as profile the positive legacy he has left behind; from his patients, colleagues, friends - to the institute itself.

Adshel Sketchbook 2012
Can you win friends and influence people within the media and communications industry by making fun of them? Adshel’s brief was to inject their yearly sketchbook with a bit more personality and fun, mixed with a solution to the production that was beyond the usual and rather boring plain spiral bound affair.Rather than provide a book full of empty pages, we decided to create a narrative around the challenges, trials and tribulations of working in the modern media industry. Working with Oslo Davis, sketchy illustrations poking fun at the mundane, sublime and ridiculous-ness of modern corporate life ensured the book not only kept your notes in those important meetings – but entertained during the more monotonous ones.
Futurespace
A leading interior architecture firm, Futurespace set us the challenge of delivering a website that was not only easy to use and compatible across platforms, but was very different to any other architecture website they (or we) had ever seen. Key to this was reflecting the creative culture of the business, whilst balanced with the predominantly corporate nature of their audience.
The site acts like a magazine, drawing content from each section into curated ‘space’ views – peoplespace, thinkspace, newspace – creating interesting collisions of disparate content and rewarding the user with constant ‘discoveries’ and launching them on new journeys.

Ontera Envibond
Ontera design and manufacture an array of category leading flooring products, mainly for the commercial and contract markets. Their latest product, Envibond, is a technically advanced carpet backing product that offers a range of benefits from noise reduction and durability through to a reduced environmental foot print.After initially creating the product identity, we were then tasked with creating a piece that showcased the product benefits, as well as the product itself. Our response was to make inventive use of the product throughout. From the laser cut cover and continuing inside the brochure with cleverly art directed images of shoes, serving as metaphors for the products key features and benefits.
Inspired by the brand’s tagline ‘a step ahead’, the resulting brochure and product website, ‘says’ and ‘shows’ the key benefits of the product in an engaging, unexpected way that informs, inspires and delights.

imei Rebrand
imei are an enterprise mobility services company, meaning they look after the mobile devices, connections and software services of large businesses. As part of a wider rebrand, we defined a brand positioning around the idea of ‘Unlimited’ - capturing both the feeling of freedom when an individual or business is mobile, as well as the value being created within this fast moving industry.
Our response was to create a quite purposefully simplified illustration style to dramatise the simplicity and effortless nature of using imei’s services. By turning complex subject matter into easily relatable metaphors, imei were able to speak volumes in a clear, concise manner that made their impressive technology easy to understand, and buy.
