All on time, on budget, and on brief. For clients that we love working with, and who love working with us.
When working with Theiss Degrémont on the joint venture collateral for the desalination plant at Wonthaggi, we needed to bring our skills in the management of high volume communications. There were typically multiple publications and projects in production with rapid turnaround times, so we ensured ease of communication with the client during the proofing and production process and a close adherence to their corporate style.
After two and half years, we’re very excited to see our work on the new Tiger Trek precinct at Taronga Zoo launched.
With Ian Bracegirdle of Motherworks, at the helm of the project team, Nuttshell collaborated on the concept and creation of this brand new tiger precinct. From set dressing props to interpretative signage and wayfinding Nuttshell created all of the graphics to make this precinct come to life.
Nuttshell was honoured to be approached by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority to create the Season of Excellence visual identity again in 2018.

Celebrating 175 years, Australian Unity engaged Nuttshell to design a book that told the story of Friendly Societies in Australia. This fascinating social history is brought to life with fabulous archival imagery and sumptuous fine art reproductions.
A complete wayfinding strategy was designed and documented for the Shire of Campaspe. Our work culminated in a detailed and thorough strategy package including mapping, directional decisions and creative design.
The brief to revitalise Transdev’s Corporate Reports called for a fresher more accessible design. We responded with a light and playful design using white space, full colour imagery and a landscape layout to our advantage. The format of both Reports celebrates horizontal photography of long buses, trains and ferries, creating a synergy between content and design.
The Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership is housed in a historic State School designed by the Government Architect Henry Bastow in the 1880’s. Nuttshell designed an elegant publication to tell the Bastow story.
With a creative brief to explore ’science’ in the newly designed school of sciences by Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects, we took a collaborative approach with all stakeholders. The result is a fully integrated display that builds upon the foundations laid by the architects.
