The brief was to create and launch the Rotarix Vaccine in New Zealand using creative that could be campaigned for the rest of their vaccine products. We decided to take a 3D typographic approach mixed with real footage and backdrops to convey these messages creatively.

The brief was to create some ads than would educate and inform the public to how Bonus Bonds work and we decided that a typographic heading approach would be the direction we wanted develop After doing some research on the net I discovered lots of really cool 3D typography designs out there hence the final designs you see here.

The brief was create a new look for a pro-bono charity campaign for the Hearing House to raise money for deaf children, the challenge was that there was no budget and hardly any existing graphics to base it on so I chose to use free stock vector silhouette's for the person and also Photoshop splatter brushes to create the background effect.

We’ve transformed the Bonus Bonds website from a ‘brochure’ site to an interesting, engaging portal that visitors will to return to again and again. The site is alive with colour, movement, helpful icons and heaps of information. While including fun elements like animated winning numbers, a ‘how Bonus Bonds work’ video, winners’ stories and an advertising gallery, the site remains simple to navigate with easy access to important elements like purchasing instructions, email registration and useful forms.

Our brief was to create an engaging and informative online presentation to promote and educate viewers about the launch of the new Bonus Bonds website. For this I chose to use Flash to create what in essence was a fully functioning micro site, one of the biggest challenges was making it accessible to those still on dial-up, this we decided that loading a series of external movies into one main Flash UI was the best solution with the help of a awesome Flash developer.

From being a small start-up in 2000, Touchpoint has grown and developed into one of the leaders in helping high profile brands and agencies communicate with their consumers across email, mobile phone and the internet. Along the way however, Touchpoint lost its ability to tell its story to its customers and even its staff. Our role was to simplify the Touchpoint story and explain its offering in a way which was both compelling and relevant. Talking both about the clever technology Touchpoint employs and how Touchpoint enhances the relationship between real people and the brands they choose to buy.

The University of Auckland enjoys the title of New Zealand’s leading university, plus a number of international accolades. The University also possesses a very large website encompassing individual sites and thousands of pages of content. We took on the task of redesigning the main University website to re-establish the navigation and make it more user-friendly for the many groups of people who access it each day. We consulted with a large number of stakeholders in order to undertake this process including the Senior Management Team, the Communications and Marketing team, individual faculty management teams, the University’s IT department, and content writers for all the main navigation areas. The finished result is an ordered, consistent and attractive website that complements the University’s image and international standing.
