How much can you handle?

Posted on | May 31, 2010 | No Comments

Every 18 months for the last decade, the world has doubled the data it pushes to you. Twice as much email, twice as many friend requests, twice as many sites to check, twice as many devices. When does your mind lose the ability to keep up? Then what happens? Is it already happening?

Thanks to Seth Godin for this awesome post…

Is more better than less?

Posted on | April 28, 2010 | No Comments

I read a very interesting chapter in John Maeda’s book ‘Simplicity’ today, it spoke about how in some cases, a certain kind of more is always better than less–more care, more love, and more meaningful actions. In the design world that I live in, I work to the mantra that less is more–less words, less on the page, less ambiguity but I realised when I read this paragraph that we do actually give more to our clients in the ways that John suggests, its the only way we can design effectively for human beings!

Emotional intelligence is now considered an important facet of leaders today, and the expression of emotion is no longer considered a weakness but a desirable human trait. Fulfillment from living a meaningful life is the ROE (Return On Emotion), I like that!!

Painting on a knife’s edge…

Amazing oil paintings by Parisian artist Francoise Nielly, who uses a palette knife to achieve the dramatic textures and bold line work that punctuates her portraits. Check out her website to see how she paints so dramatically. Oh so talented!!

New branding & packaging, OK…

Posted on | October 28, 2009 | No Comments

After the success of the re-brand and packaging for the Greenridge product family, we were asked by Integria Health (formerly Thompsons Health) to help them with a full re-brand and re-package of the OK Tea Tree brand. Its very exciting to see this fun label in production and we hope it makes their customers smile.
