Sure, knowledge may be power, but, according to Applied Arts, Bradbury Branding and Design is prairie power. That’s why, for the launch of its new website, the esteemed publication chose to feature Bradbury with a profile of Saskatchewan’s own “creative studio hotbed.” Not only does Applied Arts single Bradbury out for the quality of design work, the numerous awards and the twenty -plus years of experience of president and creative director, Catharine Bradbury, it is a showcase for Bradbury clients whose projects are featured in the online portfolio.

As if working with chocolate wasn’t its own reward. Bradbury is pleased to announce that the firm’s design for Over the Hill Orchard’s Prairie Cherry Chocolates was selected to appear in the new publication Design Matters: Packaging 01.
Packaging 01 is a showcase of the best in international package design happening today, as well as an important resource for understanding just what it is that makes a package stand out. Functionality, personality, shape, structure, colour and type: these factors are among the critical elements that go into a successful product; such considerations are also integral to Bradbury’s approach to package design.

Packaging 01 is part of the Design Matters series, published by Rockport Publishers Inc. and authored by Capsule, a well-known brand strategy and identity design firm based in Minneapolis. The series offers “…all the essential information needed to execute strong designs in concert with beautiful and well-crafted examples….” Books can be ordered at www.rockpub.com.
