BIG CLIENTS: BORING WORK? NOT A CHANCE

Posted by Matty Johnson

A portfolio well worth a flick through is that of Chris Maclean, a Creative Director over at Interbrand in Sydney. Chris, as well as being the world’s tallest designer, was the instigator of my journey over to Australia when he visited my Preston degree show back in 2008.

The thought of moving into the world of ‘big brands’ was one that worried me a bit and i was quite hesitant at first, naively thinking that the work wouldn’t be as creative and/or challenging as i would like. But as you can see from some of the work Chris and the studio have been producing, i was very wrong.

The team at Interbrand is now easily one of the strongest (and tallest) in Australia, I was lucky and got to work there for 6 months with some amazing designers whose portfolios are also well worth a browse through. Check them out > Christoper Doyle, Andrew Droog, Malin Holmstrom, Elliott Scott & Abi Singmin. Also not forgetting, TDOD’s very own Mike Rigby, who needs to sort himself out an interweb site.

Just goes to show that, if your ideas are strong enough and you strive to be creative in everything you do, you can always produce good work. Whoever the client.
