We’ve just launched our brand new website with our latest work. Have a good look around, we hope you love it as much as we do. Thanks to Edward from KD for all his patience and hard work.

Motherbird – Not a spaceship

Image making

Four times a year Australian InFront ask designers to submit an image based on a given theme.

Our entries to 4 of the competitions have been well received with a 2nd, 3rd and a finalist.
The themes have been; Portrait, Woman, Black & Future.

Our favourite letter this month is Gotham Medium R.
Gotham seems to be EVERYWHERE at the moment so we thought we’d please the crowd.

Each month on our studio chalkboard we’re drawing our favourite letters. On twitter we will be taking requests and even getting the odd illustrator to come in and chalk up something special.
Follow us on twitter for more details @motherbird

So it’s almost the end of November and we have been listening to some terffic tunes.
Here are a few on our current playlist.

Active Child – You Are All I See
Washed Out – Within and Without
UNKLE – War Stories
Moby – Destroyed
Bonobo – Black Sands

We believe playing music in the studio is really important for the creative process. A while back we wrote an article for DesktopMag online. Find it here…Creative Sounds

Advertising Campaign

Geoff Bade approached Motherbird to art direct a campaign that would refresh their look in appealing to their desired target audience. The outcome was 
a fresh typographic direction applied to refined, fresh photography.
