Tuesday 8 December saw Orange Civic Theatre invite patrons to the launch of the 2010 Subscription Season, which is to be the largest program of events yet. So large in fact that the season is divided into two programs - one adult and one children's selection.

Sauce Design again created the look and feel for the new season, the theme being 'your ticket to a world of experiences'. Rich textures and a bright and engaging colour palette convey the huge variety of cultural encounters available throughout the next 12 months.

A crowd of hundreds turned out to take a peek at what's in store, including one conspicuous character who caused quite a stir... Sauce of course were there to celebrate the launch and the completion of another of our favourite projects, and we came face to face with a Gruffalo in the process.

Many thanks again to all our valued clients for your continued support, and a myriad of fantastic projects to work on! We look forward to many more.

We'd like to wish everyone a very safe and happy holiday over Christmas and New Year. The Sauce Design office will be closed from Thursday 24 December 2009 until Monday 11 January 2010.

In the meantime if you need to you can always contact us.

Sauce Design is proud to have contributed to the Australian Library & Information Association's 'Little Book of Public Libraries' project.

The Little Book of Public Libraries is for people who love libraries and want to share their passion with others. With this in mind the design was created to be an engaging piece, with eyecatching yet minimal graphics on the outside cover, hinting at the celebration of all that is public libraries expressed graphically inside.

The reception to the Little Book was fantastic, with a huge response - and orders reaching 30,000 copies on the initial print run. A reprint is in the works for the new year, which will see more great positive awareness for a valuable part of our community.

project: 2009 Subscription Season client: Orange Civic Theatre brief: Create a new theme look for promotion of the 2009 Subscription Season, tying all aspects of the printed material together. Strategy: Sauce Design developed a custom diecut invitation complete with interactive fold-out 'chair' inviting recipients to "Take a Seat". This was a continuation of the Q & A dialogue from our previous design theme ("Do you love Theatre?") and a play on words highlighting the recently completed refurbishment of the seating in the theatre. The phrase was also familiar to the target audience - echoing the fundraising campaign for the seating with a similar name. outcome: The result was a fun, inviting campaign with visual elements portraying a back-stage theme. The patron is given a birds-eye view from behind-the-scenes, with a sense of the exhilaration and excitement building up to the hold your breath moment - as the curtain opens. All promotional material was branded with a similar look and feel, identifiable colours, and the text speech bubble was a repeat call-to-action .

CLIENT: Orange Regional Gallery in conjunction with Andrew Flatau BRIEF: Design and production of a publication to compliment the touring exhibition of Cuthbert's work. The design and layout of the publication was to be crisp, modern, sophisticated and refined. The layout and colour schemes needed to allow the works to take precedence in the eye of the viewer. Consideration was taken to ensure that all visual elements compliment the artwork.

OUTCOME: The result is a sleek, professional publication that presents the work throughout with attention to detail and finely tuned colour accuracy. Challenges of image reproduction were met, some older image records on slide requiring considerable amounts of work. description:

Powerful and thought-provoking, an exhibition by New South Wales artist Victor Gordon opens at the Blacksphere Fine Art Gallery, Melbourne, on 19th November.

Gordon says "the images are at the same time idealised and romantic representations of icons etched in the collective consciousness and an invitation to explore Australian values at a deeper level."

Many of the works challenge an idea central to Australian art: that the landscape can be a metaphor for national and personal identity. The resulting works use realism and modernist techniques to provoke multi-layered readings from audiences.more

Sauce Design is proud to show off a recently completed project for Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

The project brief was to design and develop print collateral for a targeted awareness raising campaign and to provide a national campaign of internet safety training and education with resources available through public libraries.

Strategy: To create a resource package that is visually engaging, communicates a sense of importance to the audience and encourages them to explore. Each component in the package was targeted at a specific audience and all components had to maintain consistency as a unified package. The target audiences include: library users - parents and guardian, Tweens aged 8 - 12 and librarians.

outcome: A highly engaging fun resource that has been well received with components now on reprint orders. The resource package consists of: A5 and A4 booklets, Presentation folder, A2 Poster and POS display.

We did manage to do some training while in Newcastle...in between soaking up the sun, surf and culture.

Thankfully the weather was fantastic! & we took time out to enjoy this and, managed a couple of swims at the Bar and Newcastle beach.

The Sauce office will be closed from 12pm, Thursday 25 September and will re-open as normal on Monday 29 September.

We are off to sunny Newcastle for some training, and we may just squeeze in a trip to the beach...
