Small Stuff - The Small Studio Blog - An expanded project catalogue plus various musings, sketches and anything else we care to show the world
We sweat the small stuff

At Small Studio we pride ourselves on our creativity, attention to detail and collaborative attitude toward our clients. We have produced visual identities, content-managed websites, CD packaging, posters, brochures, e-cards, banner ads, web application & mobile phone interfaces, stationery, illustrations and even written sweet inspirational music for a corporate power point presentation.

Whatever we’ve done, we’ve done it the best we can, because that’s the kind of people we are.

A collection of our other work, writings and various miscellanea can be found in the Small Studio blog: Small Stuff.

We're thoroughly creative.

With every project Small Studio works on — be it a website, business card or a CD cover there is a series of steps we take:

Imagine

The first task is to imagine where the work fits in the context of the real world. Who is the target audience? What are the client’s priorities? Who is the competition? How can we add to the brief to make the work more effective? At this stage collaboration with the client is essential because it gives us an opportunity to learn more about their business and objectives, in order to plan the best way to help realise their ambitions.

Visualise

With the background information gathered and research done, we get to work with the look and feel of the project. By this time we already have an idea about which fonts, colours, imagery and layout to use — it’s just a matter of putting what’s in our heads on to the page (or screen, for that matter).

Create

With the artwork and specifications of the project defined, we get to building and producing finished art. No matter what the medium Small Studio takes a master craftsman’s approach to constructing the completed work.

Review

Once the project is complete the final step is to take a detailed look over the design and development process: Does the work exceed the client’s expectations? How can it be improved? Even the simplest project has lessons to be learned in hindsight, and it’s important to us to never rest on our laurels.
