The Intercom speech bubble is a vehicle for expression within the intranet at Microsoft Australia. It becomes the voice, the one channel for all internal communication. Speech bubbles of all shapes and sizes give each communication its own character and personality and allow the system to house a diverse suite of messages across multiple business units. The system also offers a fantastic opportunity to open a dialogue with staff, to start a wider conversation and physical forms of the bubble will act as a strong engagement tool.
Each speech bubble was created by hand by Illustrator Jen McEvoy, she spent days preparing around 400 designs….there was anything from twigs to liquorish allsorts!

Lovells Lager was created by two successful, Australian music industry professionals, with a passion for great tasting beer. Frustrated by the quality of session lagers available, they decided to create their own brew. They wanted to take the creative inspiration, craftsmanship and independence, that was the driving force of their music, and channel it into the production of their new beer. Lovells Lager was created on this very premise.
Having worked with an established micro-brewer to create the ideal product, they now needed to create the brand identity. Lovells wanted to create a voice that challenged the norms of a very established and traditional beer category, and at the same time, reflected the personality and character of the two owners.
Early in the process, we established the idea of disruption, as a way of acknowledging the language and expectations of established beer brands, yet putting a new twist on it. The dragon became an icon to symbolise this concept. The bottle label design used traditional beer cues, whilst the neck label was the vehicle for creative expression, wit and humour. The packaging elements became small canvases to express new ideas and build depth into the brand. This juxtaposition forces you to think about the brand and becomes part of the beer drinkers dialogue.
