The Beige rundown

Recently we came across a blog listing the top 35 beige website, you can view the article here.

One of our favourite clients Willow & Edlington has a beautiful website, designed by Design Junkies incorporating the sophisticated shade of  beige. Make sure to have a look and put your orders in. :)

Design Junkies have been experimenting with the (not-so-new) phenonemon of QR Codes.

David Jones - blue SALE advertising - genius or fools?

Are we conditioned to only use red for 'SALE' artwork? 
David Jones has gone out on a limb and used blue to promote their sale over the
long Easter/Anzac weekend. 'You are invited to' have your say...

How to get the most out of your Printing Budget

Hot Design Junkies tips to make sure that your paper compliments your message when on a small budget.

Consider production applications, end uses, your Companies image, message and the audience. Tips:

- Use a premium paper for the cover and an inexpensive paper for the inside pages.
- Chose a laminate finish for a quality looking inexpensive finish.
- Stick to standard paper sizes.
- Give your printer plenty of notice, urgent jobs will cost you more.
- Larger quantities rather than small quantities, you will be surprised by the price difference of 5,000 to 10,000.
- Delivery close to your house or picking up from the Design Junkies office.
- Opt to have an E-flyer designed by us and email out your next message.

We at Design Junkies love working with environmentally friendly products.
If possible please print on recycled stock and use vegetable soluble inks.

Oh Myer (and not in a good way)
