We confess, this recent section could do with an update!



> Arts Makers Aotearoa Brand Design & Website Build / Animations / Newsletter / SM Campaigns / Hand Book
Lovely was tasked with creating a new resource website for Arts Makers Aotearoa which is an artist support network that we’ve been involved with since its formation. With next to no budget, but free creative reign, Lovely sourced as much relevant Creative Commons imagery as we could muster to help provide some visual stimulus for it’s most visual of patrons. More recently, we designed ‘Hand Book’, a collection of essays and artworks exploring what it means to be an art maker in Aotearoa. This free printed 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 A0 Street Poster CampaignLovely was PPG Paint Australia’s 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 come up with a cohesive look even though the job was split distinctly in two camps. Luckily Sons & Co dug Lovely’s nod to Josef Albers and we managed to create a complimentary launch campaign for the ‘Makers’ range.

> Hilary Ord Website Design & Build / Business Cards / Animation
Website and calling cards to launch Hilary Ord’s Mediation and Advocacy Business. Lovely steered clear of the ghastly generic stock image route that is 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 have installed Locky Dock’s – lockable electric bike recharging stations throughout Aotearoa. Lovely was given the brief to design some digital maps highlighting the various city bike routes – a great green initiative which we’re proud to lend a hand with. More recently we redesigned their website and did a logo refresh at the same time.

> Femisphere Website Design & BuildOnline presence to showcase artists Judy Darragh and Imogen Taylor’s feminist art zine. As the ‘free’ annually published booklets were always quickly snapped up they required a website where everyone could view and read each zine on any platform.

> Cotto (now Otto) Restaurant Logo / Menu Design / Website Design & Build
Our concept to Cotto was to showcase an artist every few months on their menu due to it’s location in the hub of art galleries on K’Rd. In exchange for having a stable of contemporary artists grace their menu, Cotto provides a generous contra to dine at their establishment – a nice synergy as the often financially strapped artists get a few tasty meals out, and to gather a little exposure of their work. Massive thanks to the artists who’ve graced the menus so far (in order): 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, Saskia Leek.

> Little Prick Acupuncture Logo / Business Card / Website Design / Signage
When a friend, who’s short on stature but not on a sense of humour, asked us to rebrand his practise we jumped at the chance. As the fun aspect was all in the client’s name the design approach was to keep it simple by using hand etched Chinese medical styled illustrations that quickly relay the nature of the business.
