> Burnt Books Brand Strategy / Website Design & Build / Logo / Book Design / Marketing & Social Concepts
We led the design and typesetting of the memoir No Money Nice Cock by Victor Brooks, alongside developing a publishing house brand concept with a broader vision beyond the book’s launch. While Burnt Books didn’t end up growing into the fuller project we’d envisioned, we’re proud of what we achieved in the process — most notably creating the stencil book cover, designed as the anchor for a guerrilla marketing campaign, alongside naming the press itself: Burnt Books, a defiant reference to the global rise in fascism and book banning, fitting given the book’s subject matter and the publisher’s intent. We hope our client’s brave trans memoir gets the recognition it deserves. A self-published, self-marketed release is never an easy road to success — but one with this much tenacity deserves to find its audience.

> Ecovis KGA Website Design + Oversee BuildTasked initially with a simple website update, this job ended up expanding into a fully bespoke build in Webflow with a CMS backend, giving our client the ability to update the site as they grow. Partway through, the scope grew again when Ecovis International rolled out a global brand overhaul — meaning we had to rebuild around their new identity. Lovely brought in our favourite German developer to bring the site to life in Webflow.

> Arts Makers Aotearoa Brand Design / Website Design & Build / Newsletter / Social Media / Publishing
Lovely was tasked with creating a new resource website for Arts Makers Aotearoa, an artist support network we’d been involved with since its formation. With little funding but full creative freedom, we sourced as much relevant Creative Commons imagery as we could find to make sure the resource still felt rich and engaging, despite the limited budget. More recently, we designed the layout and illustrated the cover of Hand Book, a collection of essays and artworks exploring what it means to be an art maker in Aotearoa. This free pukapuka, by artists for artists, was made possible by a grant from Creative New Zealand. To view a digital version of the book, click here.

> PPG Paints Tease & Launch Campaign A0 Street PostersLovely was PPG Paint Australia’s first port of call when it came to designing and launching their range of bespoke paint colours, crafted by New Zealand makers. We worked in tandem with web designers Sons & Co. to create a cohesive look, even though the job was split distinctly into two camps. Luckily, Sons & Co. dug Lovely’s reference to the work of colour god Josef Albers, and together we created a complementary launch campaign for the ‘Makers’ range.

> Hilary Ord Website Design & Build / Business Cards / Animation
Website and business cards to launch our client’s mediation and advocacy business. Lovely steered clear of the ghastly, generic stock-image route normally associated with mediation websites, opting instead for a more graphic approach to convey the coming together of parties at odds.

> Locky Dock Logo Design / Digital Bike Route Maps / Website Design + Oversee BuildBig Street Bikers, in conjunction with Waka Kotahi, has installed Locky Dock lockable electric bike recharging stations throughout Aotearoa. Lovely was given the brief to design digital maps highlighting the various city bike routes — a great green initiative we’re proud to have lent a hand with. More recently, we redesigned their website and gave the logo a refresh at the same time.

> Femisphere Website Design & BuildOnline presence to showcase Judy Darragh and Imogen Taylor’s feminist art zine. As the ‘free’ annually published booklets were always quickly snapped up, they needed a website where everyone could view and read each issue on any platform. Fittingly, the zine’s final issue took the form of a digital release by Eva Charlton — a natural evolution that brought the Femisphere chapter to a close.

> Cotto Restaurant (now Otto) Logo / Menu Design / Website Design & Build
Our concept for Cotto was to showcase a different artist every few months on their menu, drawing on their location in the heart of K‘Rd's gallery district. In exchange for a rotating cast of contemporary artists gracing their menu, Cotto offered a generous dining contra — a nice synergy that gave often financially stretched artists a few good meals and a little extra exposure for their work. Massive thanks to the artists who've graced the menu covers: Stella Corkery, Paul Hartigan, Imogen Taylor, Judith Darragh, Nicola Farquhar, Kirstin Carlin, Greta Anderson, Anton Parsons, Lonnie Hutchinson, Joyce Campbell, Robbie Fraser, Ann Shelton, Dan Arps, Cat Fooks, John Brown, and Saskia Leek.
