One Penny Red Branding

by brandingclientscreativeprint

If you’re in Sydney’s Inner West, then One Penny Red is the place to be! OPR is the latest wine bar/restaurant in Summer Hill.

Fish Tank Creative was given the opportunity to work with One Penny Red and create the following collateral;

  • Brand Identity
  • Stationery
  • Responsive Website
  • Signage
  • Trivia cards
  • Menu & Menu Boards

We were even lucky enough to attend the restaurants opening night and try the delicious contemporary cuisine menu. We recommend the smashed pea crostini with pickled zucchini & buffalo mozzarella along with the banana and salted caramel beignet soufflé with chocolate fudge dipping sauce for dessert, delicious!

Chippendale New World Art Prize 3

2014 Chippendale New World Art Prize

by creativeprintstudio

The Chippendale New World Art Prize opened last night and Fish Tank Creative owner Merryn Bourne was in attendance.

This event mirrors the growth of the Chippendale area, from an industrial suburb to an area full of creative potential and venues. These days Chippendale is full of wonderful galleries and studios, as well as fantastic cafes and restaurants.

Chippendale is an exciting suburb to be in, everywhere you go there is inspiration – whether it’s a new piece of street art or watching the Halo spin on a sunny day. We love this area and being immersed in its creative culture. The New World Art Prize is just one more reason to come to Chippendale and be creatively inspired.

Below are a few snapshots from the evening.

Graphic designers love a good stencil.

by creativeprintstudiosustainabilitytechnologyUncategorized

If you think of screen printing, you think Andy Warhols’ depiction of Marilyn Munroe, right?

Basically, screen printing is using a mesh based stencil to transfer ink onto another surface. Sounds simple.

Now to practise. I went to a  screen printing course on the weekend in St Peters, with Steve Wood. Arcade Screen Printing, they are totally down with the profession, and the art of it.

Listening to the theory introduction, my mind was racing with all the ideas that a creative has with a new medium to explore.

More commercial ideas for screen printing are fabric designs, wall paper, t shirts, teatowels, artworks and posters.

Here are some shots from my first attempt. The course didn’t disappoint, and I will be going back for more.

Today Google pays tribute to famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy with a Google Doodle celebrating his 120th birthday.

And the winner is…

Apple has knocked Coca-Cola out of the top position in Interbrand’s annual rating of most valuable brands. This is the first time in 13 years that Coca-Cola has not taken out the top spot, being pushed down to third by Apple and Google.

Could this be a precursor to how global brand values will continue to change in the future?
