The system behind the work.

Explore the thinking, process and craft behind Quill Productions projects. Each case study shows how a brand system is built.

  • Painted as a brass archive cabinet with six labelled drawers — Mind Stem, Owl Experience, Campaign Design, Cinematic Trailers, Applications and Workflow — beside a Seven Colonies display screen.
  • The top of this master paints the site header and a sub-tab bar. Both were cropped away on a measured row before the plate was published.
  • The navigation words visible on the cabinet screen are painted inside the artwork, as part of the scene. They are not site navigation and are not controls.

  • Filter pills, archive search, and the Grid and List togglesThe cards below are one supplied image, so there is nothing for a filter, a search or a layout switch to rearrange. Nothing here queries a server.

The archive

Six projects, each painted with its challenge and the capabilities used.

  • Owl Sing Together
  • Memory Marbles
  • PLG Social
  • Lyrical Stitch
  • Music Streamline
  • Quill Publishing
  • View case study, on each of the six cardsNone of the six has a case-study page in this family, so the painted buttons lead nowhere and are shown as artwork.
  • The plate paints these six as client case studies. Whether each is a Quill property or an outside client’s work is not established anywhere in the delivery, so none is published as client work and no customer is named.
  • Quill Publishing has a related page of its own elsewhere on this site, but it is a different thing from the case study painted here, so it is not linked from this card.

Archive pagination

  • Newer case studies, pages one to five, older case studiesThe band is painted showing page three of five, which would mean about thirty case studies. Six exist and they are all above, so there is no second page to go to.
  • The painted page count is not published as a number of case studies. It is painted artwork that the archive does not match.
