Trojan, experts in business telephones systems, asked us to create a range of printed items, including a pop-up display, freestanding banners, A4 folder with stepped bespoke-size inserts, an A5 folded leaflet, and business cards.

For inspiration, I was given an A4 page on which was printed an orange-yellow gradient. I took a warm, positive feeling from this, and expanded it into a style for the whole family of print products.

Audio Out’s selling point is colour, and they needed a website which reflected this premise. Already a successful online retailer, they  asked us to create a fresh new look as they were moving over to an e-commerce system that could better handle their increasing traffic, and range of products.

A number of design concepts were created, and various amends as they really wanted to get it right. A Channel Advisor case study on the site, referred to the visual styling as fresh and modern.

The creative included a Flash animated audio frequency bargraph, which reinforces the message of colour with sound.
