Red the Agency
Today I’d like to give “Red the Agency” a little credit for all of their hard work. This is a company that does it all, this includes; advertising, broadcasting, digital design, interactive design, logo design etc. I was introduced to this company by a friend who is in the video editing field. She strongly recommends working with them, as they’re professional, creative, and reliable. She also recommended checking out their website. I was happy to find an online portfolio with an extensive amount of projects they’ve worked on.
You are first introduced to the website with a page explaining the company’s approach and why they are a company you’d want to hire. They make their confidence obvious by explaining their process and how it “creates consistently brilliant work.” Their website is easy to maneuver around, and intrigues you with different links to different areas of their online portfolio.
While this company’s website is enticing and informative their video is actually what drew me in. Different members of the agency explain what they’re initiative is, how they’re unique from other companies, and their goals to be the best. They sum up their success in a few words:
Be curious
Be relevant
Be remarkable
I, as a a designer, can agree with that. I was quite impressed with the words they chose and the reason why they chose them. It made sense that you must be curious, curiosity is how you find inspiration, and being relevant to what your client wants creates a understanding relationship. In return you will have a remarkable output.
I guess the idea of using these three words is why I connected with this company so well. I completely agreed with them! And I will keep these three words in mind for future projects. Thanks Red 
Hello Grafik!
Last year in school, my first semester, I was finding it very difficult to get motivated. I was becoming more and more frustrated with myself. My projects were lacking creativity and I came to the conclusion that this was the end of my design potential. However, one day this all changed! It actually started with a casual stroll down Whyte avenue when I decided to check out Chapters, it had been awhile since I had a good read. Instead of finding my next novel, a busy, bright colored, cover of a magazine caught my eye. I picked it up. Inside I was thrilled to find typography pages, blog pages, editor letters, graphic art, logo forms, photography. Immediately the magazine was getting me excited. Especially because we had a massive project due in Typography, completing a Veer Magazine…
It was called Grafik Magazine, and I loved it! 
It’s a magazine based out of London. It has a quirky, cutting-edge style and while the writing holds a fair amount of humor in it, it is still very informative. After becoming a fan of the book I shortly became a fan of the website. Although the site is unfortunately under construction you can still visit the virtual edition for the time being. The amount of creativity that goes into this magazine and site is definitely impressive. The work of the Grafik team helped me out of a serious design rut, which I am grateful for. I hope that they will inspire and amuse you and as much as they did for me. Enjoy!
