the blog

A few quick updates from the studio with some of our recent work:

Kevin Smokler is an author, journalist and entrepreneur. He co-founded BookTour.com in 2006. Kevin needed to update his brand and redesign his TypePad blog to better reflect his standing as a forward thinker on contemporary cultural issues. We created a bold new logo and a clean, well-organised blog design.

Clear, prompt, creative and smart. Lorissa Shepstone is everything you could want in a designer.—Kevin Smokler

Ru Freeman is an author and activist. With her debut novel, A Disobedient Girl, Ru needed a new website to showcase her book and various writings, and to share her love for her home-country Sri Lanka. Ru wanted a site that reflected the rich, bold colours of Sri Lanka, and allowed her to easily update her content. We created a lush colour palette for the site and brought in decorative details to bring a little flair of Sri Lanka.

If everything in my creative life went quite as smoothly as getting my website designed and launched by Being Wicked, I would be a star. They are professional and extremely responsive and they have a great eye for what makes a website unique, user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Working with Being Wicked has been literally like waving a wand and having a dream come true. In fact, I think it did.—Ru Freeman

In 2007 we designed the site for the popular book The Daring Book for Girls. Last week, the brand new sequel, The Double-Daring Book for Girls, launched. To coincide with the launch we updated the site to reflect the new book’s style and include new fun content for girls, not to mention the wonderful illustrations from the book.
