Add some JAK Swagger to 2022

Did you know we’ve been busy developing a whole Swag of creative ideas for Virtual Conferencing and Events?

Yup, it’s true. Throughout this entire pandemic debacle, JAK Creative have been hard at work figuring out how we can still bring our special brand of creativity to events, especially the ones in the virtual space.

Top 3 event themes of 2018

In December last year I submitted an article which was published in Spice News, I know,  a bit fancy right? It covered the Top 3 event themes for 2018. The process of writing this article got me seriously inspired about our work at JAK and the ideas we had created and the wonderful events we have produced. It’s not often we take the time to gather our thoughts in that way to reflect and assess. And perhaps we should! All to often we are looking ahead to the next thing that needs our attention as opposed celebrating our achievements.

Getting Interactive

Interactive took out the crown as your Favourite Element of Design for our JAK Creative Info Graphic Art Installation/Crafternoon! No surprises here! We have been living and breathing this as an idea both conceptually and physically for quite some time. And we absolutely love creating spaces that perform this task. It’s a ‘design win’ to create a space that engages people effectively.

See our previous article on the creation of this interactive live polling pop-up here. Now let’s dive a little deeper into what Interactivity means in the live event space. Read More

Winter Trends – Pt 3 Rich Sophistication

The ‘Luxe’ one for the Winter. So dreamy, dark, moody and dramatic. Here we focus on depth of colour and making sure you have more than one in your bag of tricks! Textures are prized in the way of velvety fabrics, tufted finishes and textures, particularly for wall finishes like panelling and mouldings. It’s essential to include some neutral tones to temper the palette. Blacks, greys and even navys are perfect for this, but I love a splash of gold too for a lift. Read More

This colour combination used to be something I avoided at all costs. The accounts below will give you an insight into my first impressions of green and gold as a specific visual communication. Read More
