Here we’ll cover a very brief snapshot of Ryan and the practice. Very brief.
We’re an independent Melbourne design studio with a focus on brand and motion. Led by Ryan Walker, we partner with founders, agencies and brand teams globally to create expressive brand strategies, visual identities, motion systems and motion production work.
Our work is culturally-informed and seen across the fields of music, arts, retail, technology, hospitality, automotive, real estate and more. We don't have a house style, but house values we bring to the work. Expression. Optimism. Impact. Personality meets practicality.Authenticity? Paramount. Day-one energy, every day.
Say hello! We're all about new projects and new friends. Fast responses. Clear quotes. Good times, we promise 👋
Typography and record design for Section 8's debut release
The brief
‘From Melbourne, With Love’ is Section 8's debut vinyl release and love letter to the city’s vibrant music scene. Launched in April 2023, the record comes as the culmination of the ‘Level-Up’ program - a six-month series of events set up to support the Melbourne arts community post-lockdown. The vinyl consists of nine tracks spanning a host of genres that reflect the diverse sounds of the container bar. Working with Section 8 and illustrator Box Smell, artwork was needed for the release.

Outcome
Box Smell was a demon on the illustration work, while I handled the title typography, rear cover design and center label designs. A sneaky street poster campaign was also run following the launch event. Word is Northside Records sold all their stock sharpish, and we hear good things from the community too. For a copy, mosey on down to Section or Section’s retailers for a copy, otherwise Bandcamp online has you sorted.
