For some, they’re lucky enough to be able to show the fruit of their sweaty, teary (and sometimes bloody) labour to the public. The QUT Graduate show Over and Over will showcase work from final year students of the Interactive and Visual Design major and Animation major. There will be a variety of work showcased, including graphic design, typography, motion graphics and 3D animation.” – words by Strutten.com

Some of her recently settled projects include art direction of the latest Dune Rats release (Social Atoms EP), Gig posters for bands such as (but not limited to) Wolf & Cub and Darwin Deez, Lambda club-event’s through Fans group.  You can see Laura’s current work through the development of Cobra Kai Club Night’s visual identity, as well as freelance passion projects abroad and within the local music, culture and art scene.

The campaign abolishes preconceived notions that classical music is only for an older audience by bridging the gap with puns and a relatable imagery. Not only does ‘Classic’s Not Dead’ create a youth-relatable image; it also urges younger generations to get back to the basics by pointing out the banality of some of the more mundane contemporary musicians. The project references a variety of musical genres such as hip-hop (The Beastie Boys) pop (Lady Gaga) and rock (KISS) to appeal to a broader audience.

Bold colours, graphic elements that visually represent classical music and easily identifiable visual signifiers of musical icons capture attention and are used throughout the branding on a multi platform level.

Wolf & Cub’s name is derived from a Japanese comic called “Lone Wolf and Cub” and serves as the inspiration behind the poster’s illustration of a motherly wolf figure with a mounted cub head. The muted colour palette and ‘screen printed’ effect reflects the retro 70’s vibe of Wolf & Cub’s music.

Darwin Deez “Constellation” utilises song names from the band’s self-titled album to create a constellation of geometric shapes representing the milky way.

Fans group requested a large format poster to extend the club’s branding and to be placed behind live bands and the DJ booth. A red etch-a-sketch cup was hand drawn, and then digitalised featuring a typographical spillage of the club’s shorthand name.

The Stature::Statue “Hear No Evil” poster was based on the three wise monkeys mythology of ‘See No Evil, Speak No Evil and Hear No Evil’. The band requested that images of skulls be used in the poster. Skulls mimicking the three wise monkeys were hand drawn and then digitally altered.

The colours and lines used in the artwork denote veins and blood ties between the members of the various Brisbane band  at the event, many of which are in more than one of the bands performing on the evening.

 Treats Collective works closely with all clients, in collaboration to achieve a high standard and results. The team at Treats Collective is involved in varying aspects of the process of developing a concept to the final finished product, including art direction, press and promotion, management and development.

Treats Collective have worked with many clients, including The Arcade Creative, Penny Drop, Playground Weekender Festival and Future Entertainment.

To establish Treats Collective as a strong company within the create sphere, a bold and distinct visual identity was culminated for the collective inspired by the strong graphic concepts of retro black and white logos. The colour palette was personalised for each member of the collective, whilst remaining visually striking as a set.
