We ask lots of questions, learn about your industry, and figure out what you're after. The goal is to gain a deep and intuitive sense of your goals and plans.
We take what we learned during consultation and pour it into a plan of action. Defining the proposed budget, timeline and deliverables needed to complete the work.
With the strategic plan approved, we go to the kitchen where design and concept begin to take shape. We keep sifting and refining our ideas until we've found the best possible solution.
Now that we have all our ingredients, we can start cooking. In this stage, all the pieces come together. Once it passes the discerning taste test, we'll start serving.
And keep coming back for more.
We are a young interactive design studio, where we creatively prepare cocktails with strategy, concept, design and technology. It's hard-wired in our DNA.
We focus on creative communication for people and businesses.
By creating solid design and applying technology wisely.
So that our solutions are equally valuable, sustainable and enriching for you and end-users alike.
Design must express strategic vision while evoking a desired emotional response. It must be carefully considered for all scenarios and precisely executed.
People-centered communications increase user interaction. But who are these users really? What do they want exactly? When? And how do they want it? Finding the answers to these questions is necessary. After, the 'how' is our job.
Sure, we like pretty pictures, but smart design also means integrated, flexible, speed, reliability and of course mobility. Otherwise, its not so smart!
René is a brilliant art director, creative and inventive and likes to explore possibilities of Web 3.0. Above all, he's also a guy you can have a laugh with.
Pixlbar was a pleasure to work with, very personable, and I look forward to hiring Pixlbar again in the future. Pixlbar was an excellent at identifying my needs and creating one of the most sensational - creative logos.
Pixlbar has been an integral part of Human Synergistics Australia's brand building. Our brand is now recognised as being a leader in Organisational Development. Pixlbar has helped position our materials and services at a very premium level. I have personally enjoyed working with René; he is an extremely competent designer, tenacious advocate for improvement and became a strategic partner in building the Australian business.
What an incredible creative gift you have of being able to turn words, ideas and concepts into life! We are truly amazed by your diligence and standards of excellence in design, working with us until we all get the "wow" factor. Your work with HeartStyles is profound and the huge amount of unsolicited positive feedback we get about the design aspects of the Model and the Website is a testimony of your great work. Thank you for all you have done to give our concept life.
René is a magician! He's perceptive ability assisted him in creating unique graphics that capture and communicate the essence of the messages with the business community in a simple, yet sophisticated, sticky manner. René delivers on his promises, on-time and beyond expectation, quickly responds to questions and continuously informs about progress. I recommend him with confidence!
I worked with René on a large book publication. His professionalism and dedication to delivering high quality work is beyond reproach as he worked alongside us for many weekends, late nights and early mornings to meet our ambitious deadlines. His ability to creatively translate our thoughts and early ideas into sleek eye catching designs for the project was right on target.
Over the years we've been working with some great companies within a broad range of industries from all over the globe — since 1996 really — sometimes as one-off projects others with an on-going commitment. Our clients appreciate our collaborative nature, listening skills and our passion for design and technology.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, René began his apprenticeship
at a national advertising agency in the Netherlands before
embarking on a journey to the land Down Under, back in 1993.
In Australia René continued to build a design career in retail, publishing,
information and interactive design, before founding his own company Netropolis Design in Sydney. For 10 years, he has offered many ideas, advice and inspiration to a wide variety of national and international clients.
Yet, despite the business and its success, there came a change of heart in 2006. While the clients are fantastic, the weather and lifestyle in Oz are great, the pull to go back to Holland was even greater. René and his family decided it was time to go back, ready to start a new challenge.
Holland was new again… new impression, new people, new network. To keep the bills paid and getting to grips in his new homeland, René landed a full-time art direction job at an agency in Rotterdam. Towards the end of 2010 new opportunities loomed and started a new venture once again, Pixlbar was born. And he lived happily ever after.
