Cover Creation
Nice montage of the cover makin’ of a Macworld Magazine in 2009!
I wanted to show what is involved in making a cover. I focused on the three main areas: the photography, photoshop and design. I chose a time lapse format to convey lots of information in a small amount of time. The only drawback of time lapse is that since half a day goes by in 30 seconds, the whole process seam so easy! Lots of details were left out of the design process (like the cover meetings and rounds of layout options). I began to photograph the design process after the layouts had already been narrowed down to just three cover designs. more

Gabriel Saunders
TAKT Studio created a wonderful brand identity for Gabriel Saunders; clean and simple #WINNING.
The brand needed to look current but be flexibility to outlast the latest trends. The brand identity is simple, communicating the partners names on a strong foundation. The clean and direct type reinforcing strength.
Working closely with the client we assisted in their brand strategy, fine-tuning their capabilities to highlight their unique business offering. This was work was translated into a document that is actively used to generate new business.
Printed material was rolled out on Spicers Papers Stephen Spicy White, giving the printed material both a textural softness as well as unique tone. Business cards were letterpressed and gilded with gun metal to add something special.
Luckyrice Festival
Does good design make food taste better?
Every May the lovely people at LUCKYRICE host a week of culinary excitement that keeps us salivating all year long. The 2011 Festival graphics were brought to life with the spirit of celebration in the bustling melting pot that is New York City.
The 32 page Festival Guide cover was printed with a magical metallic gold and has a surprise postcard in the front flap that’s great for gloating to friends. The interior was printed on a toothy off-white paper that contrasts beautifully with the stark white cover.
