New site for Lovick Group

Another sample of our high end content managed sites is the recently launched www.lovick.com.au

A client with three distinct areas of business, Lovick Group of Companies required a solution that would logically direct their website users to the relevant service. Here's what they had to say:

"The Lovick Group of Companies is commercially competitive in all its business activities, particularly the marketing of its products and services. A relevant and cutting edge web site was required as an integral component of our business strategy. Our brief to Sauce Design was to create a website reflecting the diversity of our businesses with easy and intuitive navigation for potential and existing clients which created interest and most importantly for the site to be a measurable 'call to action', that is for our clients to contact the Lovick Group.

Sauce Design has more than met that brief."

150 Years of Local Government Orange Wiki

We're very proud to have had a hand in helping Orange City Council with the celebration of 150 years of Local Government. Sauce Design have produced a commemorative calendar, pull-up banners, and our latest offering – a wiki, to record stories about the people, places, events and services that contribute to local government in Orange.

The wiki was officially launched on 2 June 2010. Take a look at some local history here: www.150wiki.orange.nsw.gov.au

Orange City Council launch new website

This week Sauce Design is especially excited to see the launch of the new Orange City Council website, a huge project for us which has been some time in the making. Take a tour here: www.orange.nsw.gov.au

Council engaged us to redevelop the site, increasing usability, functionality and to help deliver essential information to residents and visitors in a way that is easily absorbed, logical, and easy to navigate. We provided a robust (Powersites) CMS, tailored custom development for Council and their user-specific needs, and created a fresh new design.

The look and feel reflects our beautiful 'Colour City' and presents Council information in a user-friendly notice board style. An intuitive navigation, combined with powerful search function allows users to find exactly what they need with just one or two clicks. Visitors (and residents) will find the Directory enormously helpful, having details to attractions, accommodation, entertainment, shopping and transport at their fingertips.

If you're looking for a cultural experience you'll find not only access to all of Orange City's great facilities, but also a brand new portal to Orange Civic Theatre – with a comprehensive guide to upcoming events and programs for the Subscription Season, news and more. Check out what's happening in this regional performing arts centre here: www.orange.nsw.gov.au/theatre

The Little Book of Public Libraries

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.

Subscription Season 2009 for Orange Civic Theatre

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 .

Sauce Team proudly presents CUTHBERT: The Painter's Progress by Andrew Flatau

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:

‘Cybersmart Guide for Families’ and ‘Cybersmart Guide for Librarians’ publication

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.
