For all of you typography fans out there (or designers) you might get a kick out of this video.
Be prepared by an awesome performance by Wingdings! “mail, scissors, bomb, mailbox!” LOL
Although the matching of font names to the characters (no pun intended!), it is perhaps a little bit politically incorrect - but funny all the [...]

I love TV. Having spent most of my uni nights working late, it is a luxury I haven’t been able to indulge in for some years. In some ways, I have resorted back to the impressionable viewer who absentmindedly hums jingles while cooking dinner. When my flat mate asked me for the 10th time to [...]

RED-i Design recently designed a new creative campaign for Queensland Fertility Group. RED-i took an innovative angle by basing the new campaign around positioning Queensland Fertility Group as ‘the Caregiver’. The model of ‘the Caregiver’ was a perfect fit as the characteristics correspond closely with the QFG brand values. The Caregiver is compassionate and motivated [...]

Social media, we all know it. Most of us probably use it on a personal level – Facebook, Twitter, Bebo… It’s an online, interactive, community-building wonder world that’s not a craze; it’s here to stay.

It just shows how [...]

I spied this clever marketing on a series of postcards in an eco store in Bellingen, NSW.

B_E_E – ‘Beauty Engineered for Ever’ is a range of cleaning products from New Zealand and these postcards perfectly embodies their drive to be “designed for pleasure, function and the environment”. I just love the way they have interacted [...]

I’ve just participated in a very sneaky but very clever marketing campaign for Westfield. Knowing full well that I was giving Westfield the rights to advertise on my Facebook page and post notifications without my permission…basically giving them free reign of my page I still signed up and let the sneaky bandits update my status [...]
