SKYN Lubricant:
Task: distribute a packet of SKYN lubricant through our postcard stands.
Problem: The sample was for human use so it had to be kept sealed and safe.
Solution: Create a pocket with two cards and encase the sachets safely within.
Western Australian Tourism:
Task: Communicate the 'Experience it in Person' tag line through a postcard
Solution: Pop out Eucalyptus air-freshener. Smell the Northern Forests as you drive.
NBH homes:
Task: Advertise a new housing district in Sydney that has ‘all life’s luxuries just downstairs’.
Solution: Inspirational quotes are always fast movers in the postcard industry. This card incorporates water colour illustrations which were printed on uncoated paper stock for a soft, welcoming feeling.

Task: Create an interactive postcard to advertise the upcoming Spiders exhibition at Questacon.
Solution: With the aid of the Questacon science department we combined print with digital. To view, you just scan the card with your phone and a 3D spider appears in front of you!

Sydney Dance Company:
Checking work on the press is an essential part of production management and quality control. This was a particularly memorable job as the crisp whites and deep blacks were tricky to balance. The secret is in setting up rich blacks in the file, combined with attention to detail at the press. This one took some time to achieve the right balance of ink coverage.
