ABOUT STREAMER

KATE SCOTT
CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Kate oversees all Streamer projects and takes a hands-on approach from strategy right through to the delivery of the final product.

Having spent many years working with large teams in the corporate sector, Kate moved to the Ian Potter Museum of Art, the University of Melbourne. There she was responsible for every aspect of the museum's marketing needs, from advertising and the website through to specialised printed literature.

In 2005, Kate was approached by the team responsible for re-branding Museum Victoria. Working with the Bluetorch design collective, Kate conceptualised the visual identity system that was launched in 2007. At this time, Kate won a national design award for the 320 page hardback book 'Gruzman: an architect and his city'.

 

 

Kate has a Bachelor of Design (Hons) from the National Institute of Design, Swinburne University of Technology. She has taught publication design at Monash and RMIT universities and from 2006-07 was on the judging panel for the AIMIA awards in website design around Australia. Kate is also a member of the Australian Graphic Designers Association.

Prior to her design career, Kate worked as a photographer and camera assistant in the Australian film industry. She is passionate about every aspect of effective communication, with a special interest in how changes to the environment impact on the way people communicate.

MARKS

Marks need to function in one colour and many colours. Our mark making skills contribute to great logos, illustrations for brochures, annual reports and books

Marks come from drawing, painting
and designing. A single gesture can
say so much about the spirit and
culture of a place or its people

GRUZMAN

NATIONAL DESIGN AWARD
AUSTRALIAN PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION
2007

Client Craftsman House
Project Gruzman: an architect and his city

'In the very classy Gruzman: an architect and his city, the designer has successfully captured the architect's aesthetic through strong use of black and white with powerful injections of colour. The designer's aim to "encourage the reader to engage directly with the architect's personal process by creatively composing text with images and drawings" was clearly achieved.'

'We wanted an interesting, high quality book that told our story in a way that engendered pride in the company for current and future employees.
Kate came to us highly recommended as a professional person with the proven ability to achieve our purpose.

We were not disappointed. The book portrays the basis for our pride in Hansen Yuncken. It was produced in a year and included the bonus of a new and sophisticated re-branding of the company. All concerned were pleased with the result.'

Project Corporate rebrand

'We engaged Streamer in late 2006 to rebrand our internal operations division to enable us to move into the marketplace as a supplier in its own right.
Our brand is truly unique in our industry - through logo, to stationary, website and marketing collateral - it encapsulates our organisation's ethos and has given us a boost in retention and recruitment of staff.

Our brand awareness is through the roof and we are just over a year old. We are 400% ahead of where we were a year ago in terms of revenue. Having had a false start with another supplier it was a great relief to work with Streamer.'

Director, Your Source

Through Bates Smart's various incarnations and collaborations, it has produced many of Melbourne's major projects and the book proposes that the history of Melbourne architecture is inseparable from this practice.'

THE POTTER

THE POTTER

Client The Ian Potter Museum of Art, the University of Melbourne

We have been working with the Ian Potter Museum of Art, the University of Melbourne for nearly a decade! Over the years we have produced over 26 substantial catalogues for historical and contemporary exhibitions, many of which included a range of marketing collateral. This year we designed the 64 page catalogue for the biennial Basil Sellers Art Prize - the first $100,000 award to an artist working within the theme of sport.

 

Director of the Potter, Dr Chris Mc Auliffe stated in 2004: 'Ms Scott single-handedly managed a wide range of design tasks for a demanding clientele. Her expertise and professionalism contributed significantly to the overall achievements of the organisation. As Director of the museum, I was always utterly confident that Ms Scott understood my vision for the organisation.'

SANTA NOIR

SANTA NOIR
FOR FILM LOVERS WHO USED TO BELIEVE IN SANTA

In 2008 we produced our first mini publication - Santa Noir - a christmas card with a 16 page illustrated story. It's been a huge hit so we made it available in boutique bookstores around Melbourne including: The ACMI bookshop at Federation Square, The Avenue Bookstore in Albert Park, The Brunswick Street Bookstore in Fitzroy, Chronicles Bookstore in St Kilda, Coventry Street Bookstore in South Melbourne, The Paperback in Bourke Street and Wayward Books in Kensington.

 

The story is composed of film titles that are hidden in the text so it's not your usual open and shut case for a card. Next year we will be producing a series with different stories using song titles and book titles. The booklet is printed on 100% recycled paper and is silver with highlights of fluorescent orange and matching cotton sewn stitching.

 

The total number of film titles within Santa Noir is 116. This total includes titles that exist within longer titles. So Batman and Batman forever count as two titles
