/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

IR = Loves you

Her portfolio is extensive and expansive. The breadth of her creativity is constantly paired to remarkable conceptual ideas with a thang of ubiquity and sweetness – in any and all of the branding suites – packaging what-not she enterprises.

There you go – Snap! What a tagline: A sweety branding studio. That loves you.

_______

No wonder there is so much ‘charmingness’ in her work. Passion. Color. Experience x repeat ad infinitum = Isabela Rodrigues / Porto Alegre, Brazil

TRÜF Creative

TRÜF Creative is a Netdiver alumni. First featured for their studio mobile version.. and now fresh wave of new projects: identity, print, interactive, mobile – they are at the vanguard of delivering well designed material that fully support (enhance?) a client’s brand.

_______

What I particularly appreciate is how well they document each projects.

Showing a few highlights.

BUNGALOW develops and produces ideas from Barcelona, ES. Using a number of disciplines.

Disciplines? Motion graphics, live action, illustration, photography, interactive, music and ‘other’.

Hunt&Co.

Hunt&Co. is an internationally recognised and awarded design consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia.

Excerpt: “Good design is about making connections. We believe good design doesn’t start with formats or platforms — but that it finishes with them. That it requires curiosity and bravery. We believe in the road less travelled. We believe in the hunt.”

_______

Wow to both mission statement + signature minimalism design projects!! Wanna see a great portfolio?

Head-on there – huh – hunt-on there.

Smiling Wolf

Smiling Wolf arrived in 2000 as a group of established designers responding to the vision of director Simon Rhodes of listening to clients as well as respond to their needs in the brand and digital marketplace.

Oh, and their projects are all delivered with the proverbial UK calm and assurance.

Tsto sublime

Tsto is a design agency which approach is thorough and hands-on. They tackle an assignment by first taking it apart to its bare essentials, and then building it in a new way that best serves the purpose.

They go deeper than the surface, to the hidden core of each case.

______

Love the over lapping of projects when using the forward / backward arrows which adds even more visual appeal to their stunningly beautiful portfolio.
