Music Soothes The Savage Beast

Small Studio was approached to make a flash presentation for a clients annual staff conference. One of the requirements of the brief was the creation of a jingle to be played at the start of the presentation. It had to be short, catchy and inspirational. Writing a corporate jingle was something none of us had even contemplated before, so we put our heads together, got our inspiration on and stayed back one night to make it happen. The result is 30 seconds of pure gold.

I Want To Rock And Roll All Night

exactly 100% of the staff at Small Studio are bedroom musicians and we're all exactly 0% famous. Therefore we live our Rock Star lifestyles vicariously through our clients in the music industry, producing CD covers, gig posters & street press ads with tender love and care. We already have a fabulous write up on our favourite music clients the Midnight Juggernauts in our portfolio, but today we're throwing up some more work here on Small Stuff for your viewing pleasure.

Midnight Juggernauts:
The launch of Dystopia involved a huge amount of work by Small Studio; the national tour that followed required Dozens of posters, press ads, web banners and other promotional material, all based around the Albums striking cover visuals. This all culminated in a commemorative gig poster for friends and industry types advertising the fact that the tour did in fact sell out. Small Studio has one signed in silver pen by the band hanging proudly in our office. Oooooh.

Harem Scarem:
Cult 1980's Melbourne band Harem Scarem were heralded as the next Cold Chisel, but their rise to the top was tragically cut short by internal disagreements.

Some 20 years later Harem Scarem have been treated with a digitally re-mastered album re-release and reunion gigs. Small studio handled the artwork, keeping it as faithful as possible to the truely bitchin' original 80's artwork.
