Burst! is a creative agency that offers clients with tools they need in order to create innovative designs that ill push their visions forward. They create strong, stimulating work for companies at various stages in their development. In 2004, Jeff Pinder set out to follow his entrepreneurial dream of starting his own agency.

The  range of clients is diverse, spanning from industries such as hospitality, legal, construction, land development, health and wellness, beauty and skincare, and the non-profit sector. At Burst! they specialize in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) which allows companies websites to appear on the first pages of Google when searching key words. This is helpful because most people don’t search past page 3 on search engines. They also are able to create custom websites using the Durpal 7 platform. For mobile apps, the team at Burst! knows how to create custom apps for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and iPad. rawgoodies-logo-burstraw_print_8rg_site_1

  1. Raw Goodies: For this, Burst! Created packaging for organic body care products like scented candles, scent diffusers, candles, and lotions. The logo is simple and clean and can be applied/ modified depending on which colour goes on. The product reflects the website and vice versa. The design of both is very consistent. WhiteSpot_HomeWhiteSpot_MenuWhitespot_mobile_1_0
  2.   White Spot: White spot needed to revamp their previous website, so Burst! Created a user friendly, modern website. The website includes an online ordering system, location and career sections and a customized menu. Also they created a mobile phone app with the similar features as the website. This website is straightforward and aesthetically pleasing. It offers customers with everything they need. Herschel_02Herschel_03_03. Herschel Look book: Herschel asked Burst! To create a look book to showcase their merchandise. I think that the look book is very modern and clean. It lays out their merchandise clearly and fits the feel and brand identity of Herschel.

One in a series of great ideas

“Design is not just what it looks like or feels like. Design is how it works.” I chose to use this quote by Steve Jobs because I truly believe that is what Design is about. Design has a purpose, whether it is for solving problems or communicating ideas. I chose to use gears because they help make something work/ function just like design does. Gears are a part of a larger whole and keep whatever it is apart of working. Design plays a role in society and is continually changing the world. Gears all interlock with each other in order for them to work and cannot function alone. Design is like this because it draws from and inspirations to be created and doesn’t function by itself. The rotating of the gears is also continual just like design and represents a continuous cycle.
