			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These poster are our contribution to &#8216;Why 2011&#8242;, a  collaborative, conservation-themed, self-promotional calendar (<a href="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/collateral/bird-conservation-posters" target="_self">you can also see last year&#8217;s here</a>). Some may find them a little too poignant but they put our viewpoint across in a way that is not easily forgotten and will hopefully, move hearts and minds.</p>
<p>Rather than overload viewers with information, these posters use audience participation, metaphors and a brutally reduced palette of colours and shapes to create a potent criticism of local bird hunting.</p>

<p><em><span style="color: #f26821;">Illustration is narrative drawing. It has the power to demand more involvement of a viewer and is particularly useful for putting across ideas and concepts that can&#8217;t be explained by reality. Bulldog can create imagery that will educate, foster debate, evoke compassion or make viewers think about a subject a little more. </span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thinking that it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted some logos. Here are 3 new ones that we recently completed.</p>
<p>The first is a monogram for financial consultant, Mark Vella Bonanno. It is formed from his initials &#8211; MVB.</p>
<p>Gestalt Psychotherapist &#8211; Linda Åklundh approached us to create a new identity that would communicate the benefits of her new &#8216;business coaching&#8217; venture. Our solution was to develop a composition of stick figures &#8211; working in harmony towards a shared goal. At the same time, the new symbol suggests the Swedish letter Å.</p>
<p>Of the 3, my personal favourite is a proposed symbol for the European Bully Kennel Club. It is created from 5 kennel symbols arranged in such a way that they also suggest a 5 pointed star. The identity needed to be versatile and legible, as it would also be used in conjunction with other graphic components &#8211; at various sizes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1706" title="newlogos" src="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/newlogos.jpg" alt="newlogos" width="601" height="933" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[When Australian freelance art director - Yvette Mahon, asked Bulldog to develop a small Flash portfolio site that would help her solicit the attention of design organisations, we were only too happy to rise to the challenge. The next few days were spent with Yvette, doodling ideas on scraps of paper that would identify what makes her work different from many other art directors pitching their skills to potential employers. We soon realised that the answer was staring us in the face.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Australian art director &#8211; Yvette Mahon, asked Bulldog to develop a small Flash portfolio site that would help her solicit the attention of design organisations, we were only too happy to rise to the challenge. The next few days were spent with Yvette, doodling ideas on scraps of paper that would  identify what makes her work different from many other art directors  pitching their skills to potential employers.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-918" title="Yvette Mahon home page" src="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yve3.jpg" alt="Yvette Mahon home page" width="577" height="398" /></p>
<p><span id="more-39"></span> We soon realised that the answer was staring us in the face. True creativity is not about expensive processes and slick animated sequences (sure, we pay lots of attention to technique but only if it is relevant). No, in truth, true creativity is about great ideas. It&#8217;s about that feeling you get when you experience something exceptional, even if the idea is still a doodle in the margins of a newspaper.</p>
<p>With this in mind, we constrained ourselves to developing Yvette&#8217;s entire portfolio site using doodles. While this sounds like it could  be limiting, it helped us develop a unique and exciting visual language for this project that perfectly illustrated a basic truth that Yvette  strives to instill in her work: adapt the technique to the idea, not the idea to the technique.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-919" title="Yvette Mahon testimonials page" src="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yve4.jpg" alt="Yvette Mahon testimonials page" width="569" height="398" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-917" title="Yvette Mahon showreel" src="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yve2.jpg" alt="Yvette Mahon showreel" width="576" height="397" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-920" title="Yvette Mahon contact page" src="http://www.virtualbulldog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yve5.jpg" alt="Yvette Mahon contact page" width="569" height="392" /></p>
<p>We opted to create Yvette&#8217;s web site using Flash because the primary objective was to make her  portfolio unique. While this route is not for everyone, given Flash&#8217;s search engine optimisation limitations, we believe that in this case, the quality of the content and the experience created by this site for its intended audience, make it the right choice to leave an unforgettable impression.</p>
