The other, 'not so glamorous' side, of graphic design ....

Today saw an early return to work in order to install some 3D signage we designed and produced pre Christmas for our GEC neighbour and client Research and Markets. We installed 4 of these 6 feet x 2 feet signs and the photos show the most tricky installation - into solid granite 150 year old brickwork! Thankfully the other 3 were going onto plasterboard walls - phew!

A New Years resolution we are happy to recommend!

Next week sees the launch of Aura Leisure’s New Year campaign conceived and designed by Zest Creative. The idea of offering a personalised trainer for your core fitness needs (FitforLife) in combination with a bespoke eating plan (Nutrifit) to the individual needs of every member is something none of their other competitors offer, and is sure to be a big hit with existing members, and also in attracting and signing up new members at this very important time of year for the big gyms. We have been central to the naming of the product offerings, the design of the booklets, logos, all the marketing collateral and the development of the advertising campaign which launches in the mediums of National Press & Outdoor nationwide on January 1st, backed up heavily on social media. Aura Hoolohan currently operate 9 leisure centers all around Ireland.

Wine production coming to an end for 2015...

We've had some seriously good comments about our supplier & client Christmas pressies for 2015, so thank you all. All Gifts were individually put together and hand-labelled, with each wine bottle personalised for the recipient. Today saw us clear the office floor and make the last of our deliveries - so enjoy a nice Warm Red with our compliments!

A new title designed & printed by Zest Publications

With everything else that has been going on over the last few months a really nice book project that we completed for Stephen Odlum of the famous Odlum's family slipped quietly through the net (or should we say the sieve... :-( ).
Flour Power - The Story of the Odlum Flour Milling Families, tells the fascinating story of the Odlum family from the 1820's to the late 1990's and we thoroughly recommend it as a good read and a really nice design by Flavia.

Design that thinks outside the box!

We have just finished a really lovely small branding project for ex HSE Assistant National Director of Mental Health, Martin Rogan. Martin is a progressive thinker on mental health issues facing our country and we were lucky enough to work with him on many successful HSE Mental Health design projects over the last ten years. He now runs a consultancy practice for Irish and international clients and the brief was the design approach should think outside the box - just like the client! We're really happy with the logo and the very unusual landscape letterhead paper

Salon Front Rebrand for one of Dublin's Top Hairdressing Salons

Right in time for the busy Christmas period we have just created and installed a shopfront rejuvenation for both the Womens & Mens Salons of top hairdressing firm DaveyDavey in Drury Street & Stephen's Street, Dublin.

Thanks for the amazing feedback…

Well the fabulous five days that is the National Crafts & Design Fair has finished for another year and by all the compliments and feedback we have received from visitors and exhibitors alike it seems to have been the best one ever! We really love working on this show - it's where our creativity can come to the fore and working with like minded creative people is so empowering for us. This year, amongst other things, we created and produced the 100 page Gift Catalogue, the Invites, Press ads, all the Signage as well as writing and producing the 30 second radio commercial.
