Inhouse

Home magazine won Magazine of the Year at the 2016 Canon Media Awards. Congrats to editor Jeremy Hansen and his team at Bauer. Here’s what the judges had to say:

“This was a category dominated by titles that are generally very good at what they set out to do. The winner stood out for its editorial cohesion, attention to quality and detail, innovative design and genuine multi-media strategy. It also showed that circulation and revenue growth can be achieved without compromising its own high standards or its obvious respect for the readership’s intelligence and loyalty. Modern and relevant in every sense, a thoroughly deserving winner.”

Karen Walker’s 2016 Eyewear catalogue sees the KW arrow motif take center stage in the new campaign. Featuring photography by Michael Schwartz with art direction my Mikhail German.

New business cards for the good folk of ECC.

Inhouse is represented with 4 entries: Seafarers, Caravan, Sidra del Verano and Rachel Carley Ceramics (RCC) — depicted here.

We recently worked with our friends at Seafarers to produce the second issue of ‘AT SEA’; the official Seafarers Members Club magazine.

Ebisu’s in-house sake ‘Sanshimai’ – meaning ‘Three Sisters’ – pays homage to the group of islands just off the coast of Rakino Island in the Hauraki Gulf. A spot popular with the fisherman who supply fresh catch to the restaurant on a daily basis.

We recently visited The Boneline to photograph the vineyard for the forthcoming website update. The site will feature an e-commerce component so you’ll soon be able to buy The Boneline online.

We are pleased to announce that Toby is now an associate of Inhouse.
This appointment reflects Toby’s passion and commitment to the business over the past three years and we are excited about this next chapter. Toby’s work has been recognised with awards from One Show, AGDA, Best Awards, Webby Awards, TDC, ADC, Cannes Lions and Red Dot. He has served on the board of directors of the Designers Institute of New Zealand and was made a fellow in 2012.

The Boneline recently won gold at the Designers Institute of New Zealand’s Best Awards — the annual showcase of excellence in graphic, spatial, product and interactive design. Gold pins were awarded for both packaging and small scale identity and silver for design craft (photography). Judges Comments — Packaging: Dark and mysterious – this wine feels like a new discovery and there is no doubt at all that the design, along with the product, comes from this land. Judges Comments — Identity: Resourceful and beautiful. A clear single idea that is as rich and layered as the liquid inside the bottles.

Silver and Bronze awards were also awarded to the following projects:

Inhouse celebrates twenty years of making graphic design. Big thanks to the clients and collaborators, the suppliers and the makers. We love you all — to a certain extent.

The Billy Apple retrospective ‘The Artist Has to Live Like Everbody Else’ is on show at the Auckland Art Gallery until June 21. Inhouse continued its long standing collaboration with the Artist and the Gallery by designing the catalogue to accompany the show.

As part of HOME Magazine’s Art Isue, John Reynolds has not only reimagined the HOME masthead for this issue, but also drawn the headline typography for each of the five featured homes, AND created a poster that is free with every issue of our print edition. ‘Empty Room Theory’ might be understood as a corollary to the Butterfly Effect, a phrase which refers to the idea that a butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a hurricane. Thus we might suggest an empty room is rich with the potential of seemingly minor events which may unexpectedly amplify, spiralling in dramatically unpredictable loops and storylines.

The biennial Walters Prize is New Zealand’s preeminent contemporary art award, celebrating four outstanding artists who have exhibited in the past two years. Labelled this year as “New Zealand’s toughest art prize”, the target hones in on the four finalists, alluding to the fact that there can only be one winner.

Michael Lett Gallery recently showed a major exhibition focused on artistic responses to HIV/AIDS, both historically and contemporary. The exhibition partially reprised the first Auckland 1992 exhibition to explicitly respond to the epidemic. This landmark exhibition featured work from artists including L.Budd, Richard Killeen John Reynolds and Fiona Pardington. The new exhibition revisits these artists as well as drawing on works by established artists including Billy Apple, Jacqueline Fraser, Giovanni Intra and Douglas Wright. Younger practitioners are also represented with new pieces created specifically for the show. Inhouse was invited to design a poster as part of the exhibition. We took a 1988 San Francisco AIDS Foundation advertisement and re-imagined it with a typographic intervention. The posters were gummed on three sides with a coloured glue to form an A1 pad that sat on the Gallery floor and were free to takeaway.
