Yes, annual reports are still a thing. We spent the 80s and 90s designing annual reports for large power companies, amongst others, and thought we’d seen the end of lining up rows of financial results in 7pt Franklin Gothic. However, when the MacDiarmid Institute came to us requesting a report that had only 5% pages of financials and 95% new science, we said ‘heck yeah’.

We’ve worked with the MacDiarmid Institute for a few years now, and am continually blown away by their discoveries in materials science. They are at the forefront in investigating cleaner and better ways for new materials to basically save the planet (think solar cell and waste water tech) as well as lessening our dependance on fossil fuels. In 2021 we created posters for a series of lectures that happened around the country, informing people in the provinces about the cutting edge of zero carbon tech and sustainable resource us – taking the message to the people.

We’ve done a heap of identities for baristas, but not too many for barristers. This is a freshly minted logo and letterpress cards (by Magpie Press) for Sebastian Bisley, Barrister. The client’s love for brutalist architecture (heavy card stock and fonts) and high end mountain bikes (a bar – get it?) was the starting point for this non-traditional law identity.
