Challenge:
Make Works is a directory of manufacturers, enabling artists and creatives access to various production techniques. We were asked to create a gift for MakeWork’s Patreon supporters a marketing action to maintain loyalty with their fan base and brand perception. The gift had to be digital as there was no budget for production or postage.

Approach:
Our solution was to create a means of production. We developed a ‘typeface’ inspired by manufacturing processes. Essentially wingdings on steroids. Using widely available programs like Text Edit or Word you can create patterns and collages instantly.
