Web Design Trends In 2015

Web Design Trends In 2015 Copied from http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/web-design-trends-to-look-out-for-in-2015 Now that 2014 is nearly behind us, we can now begin to look at the web design trends for 2015, in particular trends have and will impact the WordPress Community–from existing WordPress themes and plugins to the new opportunities these trends will provide. 1. Responsive Layout Do you have a really good reason for not using responsive design? Over the last few years responsive design has solidified itself as the new standard for web design in general and WordPress themes in particular. Sure, there are still arguments over implementation, but no one is saying, “let’s get rid of responsive design” and in fact more and more sites are opting to go in that direction. […]

Some good Christmas Design Ads

Christmas is upon us yet again. We are all likely rushing around like a crazy people this week trying to get all your work done, finish up your Christmas shopping, preparing to travel, etc. Every year, we are asked by our loving clients to design them something for Christmas i.e. cards, e-cards, newsletters, Facebook banners and more, and every year we strive to design something different from your normal tinsel, red & green backgrounds with snow flakes and cursive typography. It’s just boring as bat shit! So we took some time out from our hectic graphic design schedule and took a look at some inspirational Christmas design that actually looks and feel different. Let’s take a minute to slow down and […]

DesignLabs Christmas Drinks

Last Thursday on November 27 saw our end of year Christmas party that we hold for all our clients to thank them for their support for the past year. It was a real success and a testament to how far we have come over the past couple of years. We had such fantastic feedback from all our clients on the night, and most of them were quite amazed that little old us have such a vast range of clients, not to speak the quantity. On the night around 40 clients attended to an open bar and some of the tastiest nibbles (i.e. chicken popcorn, pork belly, prawn burgers and so much more) put on by The Grace Establishment on The […]

Brilliant print advertising

Print advertising is still the most powerful way to communicate the right message to your target audience. Unfortunately over the past couple of years in Adelaide there only has a small number of advertising agencies, but things are looking better for Adelaide and South Australia, as smaller design agencies are starting to produce more clever advertising. If print advertising in brochures, print catalogues, flyers, posters and billboards is done in a creatively funny way, getting attention will be a lot easier. Most businesses today make sure to achieve this idea for their print advertising campaigns to stand out among their competitors. With digital media such as viral videos, it’s easy to overlook the creative art of print advertising, but it’s still relevant and as powerful as old vintage posters […]

Video production in Adelaide – Titanium personal water filters

Safe drinking water on the go. Game changing Titanium personal water filters. Guaranteed for life. When the team at Go Walkabout approached us to film a video production in Adelaide for the world’s first titanium water filter, we just knew straight away that we had to get involved and help them with their Kickstarter campaign.  Our brief was to create a video that not only showed the product, but also inspire, motivate and captivate an audience that can kindly donate to the campaign so the team at Go Walkabout can produce and supply family – and village-sized filters to help provide communities in developing countries with safe drinking water, through both donation and sustainable microcredit plans. The video consisted of a two day shoot in the factory […]

Adelaide Festival 2015 Program Launch

Last Thursday 16th October saw the launch of the program for the 2015 Adelaide Festival. The 30th Adelaide Festival program was unveiled with the full line-up presented by Artistic Director David Sefton, and we had front row seats. This being our fourth year working with the Adelaide Festival we feel very privileged to be invited to the launch party, especially when we get a mention from CEO Karen Bryant in front off all government officials and the media at the VIP party before hand about our graphic design work. As a nod to the very first Adelaide Festival poster, the artwork for the 2015 Adelaide Festival of Arts is an interpretation of the iconic ‘double A’ from 1960. This was designed and […]
