Hurrah for the long weekend!

What do you have planned for the looong weekend folks?

Well, just in case you were wondering we are completely stoked for the 3-day frenzy. If you're a little lost here are our suggestions!

 Maybe try your hand at some crafts?

Bake your heart out

Go somewhere friggin' exotic

Make breakfast in bed for your loved ones...

Treat yourself to a mani & pedi, men you know you'd like one too. Ladies, I highly recommend the shellac gels - 2 weeks of long lasting chip-free beauties.

Spend time with ya pets. Take them out to the park to cheer them up!

Get some well deserved sleep

And last but not least - GO THE WARRIORS!!!

   

AND make sure you stay SAFE!

Taubmans Endure's on

First-things-first a B.I.G. congratulations to our client, Taubmans for being awarded Choice's best overall interior paint. We of course know how good it is, but to be independently tested then recognised this is H.U.G.E.

Second-things. Some shameless self-promotion of our design work for Taubmans end of financial year promotion that passed a few months ago. It was a very successful campaign that had massive cut-through. So, next time you are doing a little touch up, or reno choose the No. 1 Interior Paint supplier, Taubmans from now on!

Durex Print Advertising

Ummm, this is a little naughty but oh-so-nice too. Very clever typography fused with a little karma sutra - who doesn't appreciate it?!

LOGO placement.
Fark.
Outta-this-world.

Campbell's Real Stock

We've been doing a heck of a lot of work for Campbell's Real Stock over the last 3 months! Recipe cards, sampling stations, promotions, ads...

We'll share more work over the coming posts but for now, here's our latest promotion for the stock-kings with a killer prize (now closed) along with some great work by our creative team at 31stHQ.

Enough from us, Happy Friday and don't forget to follow us on facebook!

Our favourite things in September

Ahhhh, a warm welcome to that gorgeous sun. Hope you've got the good ol' havianas out and the white legs are getting a wee bit of colour - I know mine need it desperately! Pucker up - this weathers putting us in a good mood and its all about getting out and about this month.

1. Creasion
Did you know that Macarons are the new cupcake?! This hole in the wall, on Alberta St Surry Hills is definitely worth a visit. Run by the cutest guys, sit down on the mini Eames chairs, have a single orgin coffee and try to taste test your way through every. single. flavour. of. macaron. I'm upto flavour number five. The hit so far - the MISO macaron?!

2. The Norfolk
This part of the Slurry is well, a little crazee. But amongst the crazees, lies The Norfolk pub on the corner of Walker and Cleveland St. Head straight through to the rear courtyard and enjoy a $10 mega lunch or some tacos. Even though its a bit of a walk, we've crowned this our local. And dogs can enjoy the courtyard and a bevvy as well.

3. Don Campos
I know the original is not that far away, just a hop, skip and jump over on Missenden Rd. But the newly opened "other" Campos on Fountain St Alexandria gets my tick over the original Campos. One, there's seating - lots of it. Two - there may only be one coffee machine but its pretty quick, whilst the original has been known to take 20 mins - that's not cool, when there's 3 machines going full-grind. Three - you can take ya dog. Hands down, Don Campos is the winner. Well, for us anyway! Pick up a jam donut macaron, they're pretty damn tasty as well.

Just for laughs

Ahhhh, why on earth would you put this up if this was your child? Freakishly funny.

The Force + Mother = Bumper

The force is strong in this one....

We’ve just developed these outta-this-world bumper stickers for Mother to commemorate the launch of Star Wars on Blu-ray.

Look out for Death Stars and other on a road or petrol station near you.

Tim Tam Timeless

If you've been following us over on Facebook, you would have seen snippets of our work for the Arnott's Tim Tam Timeless promotion. If not, get on over there and LIKE US!

It was a huge year, and we smashed the record of entries by a few thousand - yay US! We attribute the success to our road testing of lots of Tim Tams to get us in the mood before doing concepts. Our pick, is the double coat classic or the chewy caramel, ohhhh yeah. Enough of that - like us, we hardly ever enter promotions. But, here's the proof you CAN win. Look at the smile on the mini cooper winner - ear to ear. So, next time jump online and enter. You could be as happy as this winner.

You'll have to enter next year... For now, you can just enjoy our work.

B.Right by Benefit

Ever thought foundation was heavy and way too gluggy? And, on a hot summers day felt like the thin layer you had applied suddenly turned to cake and was sliding down ya face? Yep, we've all been there!

The remedy. A skin primer. Your new bestie.

We're a H.U.G.E fan, it's like a facial session in a thirty seconds. Flawless, smooth, airbrushed-like skin-in-one-application, then you're ready for the day ahead. Our pick is Benefit's, that girl. For an all over even skin tone with a natural-peachy-pink tint. Or for more of a pearlescent luminous finish go for, girl meets pearl. Both come in easy screw sticks and although small in size, will actually last you a good 3 to 4 months of everyday wear.

There is a point to all this, besides a small beauty sess. We are super excited for the new B.Right range to be released very, very soon. The packaging is lovely, with blue hues, cork caps and textured bottles with a pattern thrown in there too. Big ticks from the 31stHQ studio department.

And, another point - there's no excuse for cake on ya face now.

Have a great weekend!

Colour Trends: The Rainbow

We're seeing an array of colours flood into the design world alongside fashion and food. Seems like it's not all about blues or yellows but a myriad of geometric colour - rainbow hues. It's getting us all revved up for the summer season ahead. Hello Kaftans, headscarves and thongs. We. Can't. Wait.

 

Product Transformation

This has been art-directed so well that we are so incredibly envious. Great concept and clever use of branded product. There's lots of subtle logo placement throughout whilst tapping into an almost Japanese-cutesy-aesthetic along with some electro-pop music. We had to watch this twice it was sooo good.
