Environmental law looks good! | 26.1.10

Vernon Rive Environmental Lawyer - branding and website designed by Husk creativeWe Huskies have a particular love of things sustainable, environmental and efficient. Working with Auckland lawyer Vernon Rive (who specialises in environmental, resource management and public law) to put together his branding, stationery, website and blog was thus an exciting and synergetic project for us. Vernon's stationery boasts vegetable-based inks and recycled stocks - yummy yummy - and we believe both his new website and blog are going to become key discussion centres for the industry. Vernon Rive helps make the world a better place and if you need a green lawyer, he's your man!

Lanterns of Hope | 22.1.10

Husk creative clients, staff and family enjoyed lighting their New Year 'Lanterns of Hope'One of our favourite moments during Christmas just gone was putting together our client Christmas campaign called 'Lanterns of Hope'. We assembled packages of 'amazing flying lanterns' and sent them to our clients around the country to release to the heavens on New Years' Eve with their hopes for the 2010 year. The lanterns made for many beautiful, biodegradable and fun experiences and we've heard heaps of stories. Now we just need the rest of the footage for our Husk 'Lanterns of Hope' short film. If you haven't sent yours in yet, please do asap!

Food, Glorious Food | 18.1.10

Husk creative designed the latest Social Justice Commission Food bookletFood - we all love it and need it! But often we don't realise the sacrifices made or costs incurred globally for us to enjoy it. Morever, we barely notice the people in our own communities struggling to have enough. We enjoyed the challenge of working on the latest booklet from the Social Justice Commission which looks at food from both a global and local perspective. It's full of handy tips, resources and challenges - subscribe and get yourself a copy from the people over at the Social Justice Commission.

Doctors on Tractors | 26.12.09

Husk Creative design the logo, stationery and website for Silver Fern Medical Centre, Waimauku, Auckland 2010Well not quite, but deep in the west of semi-rural Auckland (Waimauku) is a team of friendly and clever GPs who have set up the brand new Silver Fern Medical Centre. Amid the chaos and deadlines of the clinic construction, we worked with husband and wife GP team Marc and Lois Paton to pull together a new identity, stationery, signage and a website. Highlights of the practice include free mole checks, an on-site pharmacy and a 24/7 on-call service to registered patients! If you get pummelled in the Muriwai surf, try one too many clever tricks at Woodhill, or are keen on a new, family-oriented practice, then drop in and check out their new digs.

The real Christmas story | 24.12.09

Husk creative designed the CBA Christmas appeal for 2009Everyone loves Christmas...well we Huskies definitely do. We definitely know the guys over at CBA do too. We loved working with them this Christmas to help them tell the real story of Christmas across the radio stations...through the eyes (and sugar cravings) of six-year-old Elliot. From appeal envelopes, posters and fabulous illustrations from Innie, to powerpoint slides and website updates, we definitely got our festiveness on for this appeal!
