The Municipal Association of Victoria's annual report demonstrates the impact that coloured stock can have on a job.

The eye-catching Curious Metallic Iridescent - Citric Buzz on the cover and two environmentally responsible sheets on the text pages (Mega Recycled and Impact) create a unique, high quality end result.

To further strengthen your next print job, embellishment techniques, such as foil stamping can be applied, separating you from your competitor and ensuring your job stands out against the rest.

The Mariner - a new apartment building to be constructed in New Quay at Docklands (Melbourne), recently produced a brochure with the creative expertise of Sense Advertising & Design.

Sense wanted a vibrant brochure, with an eye-catching wrap around dust jacket. However, they were restricted by the size limitations of a digital press short-run specification. K.W.Doggett Fine Paper stepped in and worked together with Sense and Impact Digital to achieve a brilliant end result, despite the minor hiccup.

The brochure remained a four colour digital print, on HannoArt Silk for brilliant colour reproduction, and Keaykolour Antique Jet Black was chosen for the dust jacket. Adding to this already rich black sheet, a black gloss foil was specified (instead of printing) to create a tactile pattern, providing the perfect contrast to the enclosed brochure.

A job well done!

Tell me a story that I've never heard before.
Tell me about a young girl who lives in the stars, and about how she met with a chimera.
Tell me how she lived and breathed under the seas, how she played with fire, ice and wind.
Tell me how she slept at night, in a cradle of light.
Tell me how she transcended matter itself.

Tell me a...Curious Story.

Our agency won the award for Australia's best real estate brochure for a record seventh time at the 2010 Australian Catalogue Awards for this entry.

For the most part, food is nature at its most familiar. While views on its production and presentation become ever more complex and conflicted, it is nevertheless us that set the parameters.

As its masters we think: food is here to serve us. But quite possibly: we are here to serve food.  Reversing the roles and giving up control is an eye-opening exercise. After all it is we who are dependent on food, and not food that is dependent on us.

One key attribute to the good servant is enthusiasm and enthusiasm is most often found in the amateur. The true amateur, of which E.C. Large was proudly an advocate, is defined as “one who loves”.

Beyond our own lack of expertise, although that is true too, it is this simple sentiment that has informed  Condiment – Adventures in Food and Form. Equal parts wonder and worship, each page of this publication is not as much about what we do know as what we don’t.
