New website
Welcome to our new website. There's nothing like starting a new year with an updated platform with some of our recent projects, ready to receive all those which we are working on at the moment.
For each communication object, we are providing a brief description of the process and individual concept, as well the projects that are directly related to them.
We also want to thank everyone who joined us from the beginning - not only those directly related to the studio, clients and collaborators - but also those who featured our work, who believed in the visual integrity of our process and that clearly contributed to our growth.

By Invitation Only
In the increasingly competitive world of advertising and marketing, successfully launching a new product or service is a huge challenge.
And, even the world’s leading agencies and designers find it increasingly difficult to come up with an idea that is completely new, completely original.
By Invitation Only is a collection of some of the world’s most innovative launch concepts created in recent years and demonstrates the lengths to which corporations will go to get the attention of the consumers targeted.
Brand names featured include TAGHeuer, Red Bull Music Academy, Nike, and Mont Blanc. Concepts range from elaborate printed invitations to exclusive champagne infused watch launches to a block of wood inviting decking customers to "come and see why we're designers not builders."
Agencies featured include Why Not Associates, Sagmeister Inc, Studio Round, Fernando Rocha, Magpie Studio, and more.
