In December 2010, we launched SpareTicket.com.au as a first-of-its-kind online event ticket exchange and connection hub. I suggested we could allow people to list tickets not only for free or a discounted price but also for a “challenge” like “mow my lawn” or “wash my car”. I created the brand, based on a free-spirited magpie – the traditional symbol of happiness. This easily-identifiable icon embodies the spirit of SpareTicket.com.au: fun, lively and happy…
Whilst at Brio Group I was commissioned to create the brand for Fête De La Musique Brisbane that would be used for subsequent years to come. I created a sound wave graphic made from different types of fabric which I stitched together, to represent the many different styles of music coming together for the one festival…
While working at Brio Group we decided that it was time to celebrate our commitment to charity. Over the 2010-11 financial year we aimed to donate 365 gifts of sight to the Fred Hollows Foundation – one for every day of the year. We thought what better way to celebrate (and give back on a local level) than to host a public tea party where we’d give away 365 cupcakes to the citizens of Brisbane. Enter Brio Group’s Ultimate Public Tea Party and our website: 365wayswecare.com.
As the Art Director of Brio Group (formerly RED-i Design) I was asked to develop a new name and brand that would reflect our new direction and expanded capabilities. With Director Belinda Vesey-Brown I researched and created the name ‘Brio’ – which encapsulates the vivacity and energy of the company. I then went on to develop the brand and created an elegant, classic and sophisticated corporate mark…
I was engaged by Brisbane City Council to create a brand and bus design for the new Spring Hill Loop. I developed a bold, bright style that reflects the iconic landmarks and buildings that form part of the loop’s regular journey. This was to position the bus as the ‘local’s bus’, as Spring Hill residents and workers will naturally identify with these landmarks. The Spring Hill Loop creative was a success and further rolled out to include bus stops, postcards and signage.
I recently took some snaps at my friends Amber and Chris’s engagement party. Went for a vintage feel for these – you can see more on Facebook. Amber did such an amazing job decorating her newly renovated home in the op shop theme and treated us all to the most divine cupcakes! But the star of the show was the very lifelike orangutan cake (!!!) which none of us had the heart to eat! Thanks for such a beautiful day guys and hope you enjoy the pics!…
Through working at Brio Group I’ve had the opportunity to take some great shots of the wonderful kids at the Hear and Say Centre – which is our chosen charity for the year. I’ve shown a select few below, but you can see more on Facebook. These kids are just so adorable! Enjoy…
