Design

We look at design from imagination to implementation. We’re creators and we thrive on bringing ideas to life. We’re creative thinkers who know how to marry vision with practicality in the real world.

Open’s design team has created a wide range of work for clients; everything from bespoke websites and logos to animation and wayfinding. You can see our design in everything from packaging on your favourite brands to museum exhibitions. We use creativity with real people in mind; people who use and see our design every day.

Create the vision

We blend visualisation, conceptualisation and creativity with strong IT and development skills to bring you a wonderful product. Put simply, we give you design that works.

Good design’s not about what medium you’re working in.
It’s about thinking hard about what you want to do and what you have to work with before you start.

Identity Design

Brand identity design allows your product, service or organisation to communicate with its target audience. It’s the oldest form of business communication and relies on clarity and simplicity to communicate its message through brand name, logo, colour, styling and visuals. Here are some of the services we offer as part of the Identity Design Process.

  • Branding Workshop
  • Company & Product Naming
  • Market Research
  • Mood Boarding
  • Colour Positioning
  • Logo & Type Design

Packaging

Packaging design covers everything from simple boxes and sleeves, to bespoke bottles, tubs and tubes. And excellence in packaging isn’t just about how well it holds the product. It’s about how the shape, colour and style speak to the consumer and, increasingly, it’s about the materials involved – sourcing, manufacture, distribution, cost, re-usability and disposal.

Here are some of the services we offering within packaging.

Advertising Campaign

Advertising is as much about how the message is planned and thought out, as it is about the medium in which it appears. Our first step is to identify the target audience and to ensure you are choosing your media in a way that will reach that audience most effectively. We then set about creating a concept that will give your message the best impact across the media selections – digital, social, print, outdoor, transport, radio, TV, streaming.
Advertising services we offer include

  • Communication Strategy
  • Digital Strategy
  • Concept development
  • Copywriting
  • Graphic Design
  • Art direction
  • Radio/Print/TV production
