Oblong grows up

1825 days ago, Kellie Oxford and Tim Smith combined their creative powers. These two right angles wanted to shape their own futures as well as shaping the future of graphic design in the world, and more ambitiously, Brisbane. Things had fallen into place, the planets were aligning, the right angles had united – the shape was an Oblong.

So, here we are five years and over 1000 jobs later - a happy little team of creative minions pumping out high-quality visual communication (we’re not conceited, just confident) for a healthy list of satisfied clients.

However, Oblong has never been one to rest on our laurels, we are always looking forward to new opportunities and ways to improve our work. We’re always asking ourselves, “How do we get the most out of our design? How can we make things greener? How do we attract new clients? What can I make for dinner that is quick and easy but is also both healthy and delicious?”

What we have discovered is that there are no instant solutions to these questions, rather the answers are unravelled as we keep our values strong and our minds open at the right angles.

We celebrated five with an Oblong + Puns party. The folly was frivolous and the outfits were atrocious - stay tuned for photos...

Happy birthday to us!
