Colour Box

Colour Box is an independent design agency based in Liverpool. It was founded in 1993. They do corporate identity, packaging, design for print, illustration and web design. So they work over a variety of different medias.

Illustration is not something that a design and advertising company usually get involved in. It is different with colour box. This is something that they actually enjoy doing. On their website I found something they had said which I found very interesting and true.

"At Colour box we see it differently. Like everything, Illustration has it's place and should only be used when necessary. Used correctly however it can add interest or humor to an otherwise boring document." I really like this as it is really true, I know at college myself and other students use illustration sometimes but we are scared to do so, and more often than not it is not used for our final piece.
Illustration is not 'normally' singled out to be showcased on the majority of Advertising & Design companies websites but it's one of the aspects of Graphic Design that we particularly enjoy being involved
