There's no power like prairie power
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.

Good things come in Bradbury packages.
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.

Intelligent yet creative is how Catharine has described the GDC annual report.
“Among other things, the GDC Annual Report contains financial lingo with a creative twist,”  she says.  “We used words such as profits, pay-offs, bonuses, gains, words that capture ‘return on investment, all in a fun, informal and interesting way.  The right design can indeed provide clients with excellent return of investment, and this is what we strive for with every project.”
