Another sample of our high end content managed sites is the recently launched www.lovick.com.au

A client with three distinct areas of business, Lovick Group of Companies required a solution that would logically direct their website users to the relevant service. Here's what they had to say:

"The Lovick Group of Companies is commercially competitive in all its business activities, particularly the marketing of its products and services. A relevant and cutting edge web site was required as an integral component of our business strategy. Our brief to Sauce Design was to create a website reflecting the diversity of our businesses with easy and intuitive navigation for potential and existing clients which created interest and most importantly for the site to be a measurable 'call to action', that is for our clients to contact the Lovick Group.

Sauce Design has more than met that brief."

We're very proud to have had a hand in helping Orange City Council with the celebration of 150 years of Local Government. Sauce Design have produced a commemorative calendar, pull-up banners, and our latest offering – a wiki, to record stories about the people, places, events and services that contribute to local government in Orange.

The wiki was officially launched on 2 June 2010. Take a look at some local history here: www.150wiki.orange.nsw.gov.au

This week Sauce Design is especially excited to see the launch of the new Orange City Council website, a huge project for us which has been some time in the making. Take a tour here: www.orange.nsw.gov.au

Council engaged us to redevelop the site, increasing usability, functionality and to help deliver essential information to residents and visitors in a way that is easily absorbed, logical, and easy to navigate. We provided a robust (Powersites) CMS, tailored custom development for Council and their user-specific needs, and created a fresh new design.

The look and feel reflects our beautiful 'Colour City' and presents Council information in a user-friendly notice board style. An intuitive navigation, combined with powerful search function allows users to find exactly what they need with just one or two clicks. Visitors (and residents) will find the Directory enormously helpful, having details to attractions, accommodation, entertainment, shopping and transport at their fingertips.

If you're looking for a cultural experience you'll find not only access to all of Orange City's great facilities, but also a brand new portal to Orange Civic Theatre – with a comprehensive guide to upcoming events and programs for the Subscription Season, news and more.

HOME AND AWAY: A Return To The South, Curated by Carol Brown for Ifa Lethu Foundation Constitution Hill, Johannesburg South Africa, June - July 2010. Promoted as the premier art event to coincide with the World Cup Soccer being hosted in South Africa next month.

South African born artist Victor Gordon currently living in Australia, has been honoured to have five major works represented in this exhibition. The large scale works (most are 2.25 m x 1.8m) from Gordon's installation " Behold the Land where Satan reigns" were last exhibited in Sydney in 1990 at the time of Mandela's release and the ground breaking shift towards a Democratic South Africa. The exhibition was unequivocally political and cuttingly critical of the South African Apartheid regime. Gordon had grown up and had personally experienced much of what he vividly portrayed in his art. The works are explicit and disturbingly evocative. The exhibition attracted attention at the time and SBS made an eight minute documentary of the installation. Gordon will be in South Africa at the launch of the exhibition and has been invited to be a guest speaker at a number of venues. Read more Media release

Tuesday 8 December saw Orange Civic Theatre invite patrons to the launch of the 2010 Subscription Season, which is to be the largest program of events yet. So large in fact that the season is divided into two programs - one adult and one children's selection.

Sauce Design again created the look and feel for the new season, the theme being 'your ticket to a world of experiences'. Rich textures and a bright and engaging colour palette convey the huge variety of cultural encounters available throughout the next 12 months.

A crowd of hundreds turned out to take a peek at what's in store, including one conspicuous character who caused quite a stir... Sauce of course were there to celebrate the launch and the completion of another of our favourite projects, and we came face to face with a Gruffalo in the process.

Many thanks again to all our valued clients for your continued support, and a myriad of fantastic projects to work on! We look forward to many more.

We'd like to wish everyone a very safe and happy holiday over Christmas and New Year. The Sauce Design office will be closed from Thursday 24 December 2009 until Monday 11 January 2010.

In the meantime if you need to you can always contact us.

Sauce Design is proud to have contributed to the Australian Library & Information Association's 'Little Book of Public Libraries' project.

The Little Book of Public Libraries is for people who love libraries and want to share their passion with others. With this in mind the design was created to be an engaging piece, with eyecatching yet minimal graphics on the outside cover, hinting at the celebration of all that is public libraries expressed graphically inside.

The reception to the Little Book was fantastic, with a huge response - and orders reaching 30,000 copies on the initial print run. A reprint is in the works for the new year, which will see more great positive awareness for a valuable part of our community.

project: 2009 Subscription Season client: Orange Civic Theatre brief: Create a new theme look for promotion of the 2009 Subscription Season, tying all aspects of the printed material together. Strategy: Sauce Design developed a custom diecut invitation complete with interactive fold-out 'chair' inviting recipients to "Take a Seat". This was a continuation of the Q & A dialogue from our previous design theme ("Do you love Theatre?") and a play on words highlighting the recently completed refurbishment of the seating in the theatre. The phrase was also familiar to the target audience - echoing the fundraising campaign for the seating with a similar name. outcome: The result was a fun, inviting campaign with visual elements portraying a back-stage theme. The patron is given a birds-eye view from behind-the-scenes, with a sense of the exhilaration and excitement building up to the hold your breath moment - as the curtain opens. All promotional material was branded with a similar look and feel, identifiable colours, and the text speech bubble was a repeat call-to-action .

CLIENT: Orange Regional Gallery in conjunction with Andrew Flatau BRIEF: Design and production of a publication to compliment the touring exhibition of Cuthbert's work. The design and layout of the publication was to be crisp, modern, sophisticated and refined. The layout and colour schemes needed to allow the works to take precedence in the eye of the viewer. Consideration was taken to ensure that all visual elements compliment the artwork.

OUTCOME: The result is a sleek, professional publication that presents the work throughout with attention to detail and finely tuned colour accuracy. Challenges of image reproduction were met, some older image records on slide requiring considerable amounts of work. description:
