Hair Solutions is an enhancer, made from botanical concentrates, that can be added to any brand of shampoo, personalising it to meet 66 different haircare scenarios through a combination of formulations directed at 6 categories (normal, dry, wavy, flaky and colour-treated and fine) and 11 concerns (brittle, dry, oily, thin, wavy or colour-treated, split-ends, frizz, low-shine or volume issues and curl definition). To help users identify the perfect product, the line will be supported by an online hair-quiz, and a brand identity designed by Paul Belford Ltd. This included logo, packaging design and initial launch campaign.

PLATF9RM is a co-working and office space in Brighton and Hove. It features an interior design by We Like Today that blends the utilitarian with moments of bright warm colour. Studio Makgill, working closely with PLAT9RM Founder, Seb Royle and Creative Director, Emilie Lashmar, designed a graphic identity for the space that would capture and express a spirited approach to co-working and connect with those who have a desire to escape the daily commute. The motion and energy of a collective space, and an allusion to a shorter more cheerful commute is expressed by way of bold type in motion, and through a modern convivial colour palette, this links printed materials such as business cards, posters and newsprint with the supergraphics that run throughout PLATF9RM.

360ME is the first range of “life-ready” “Mood Nutrition” from Montgomery+Evelyn a new nutritional supplement company. Each of the four products focus on an individual and singular benefit with each capsule providing exactly what the body needs without having to purchase multiple products. M+E intends to bring a new level of quality and clarity of communication to a complicated nutrition market.
Working with founder, Evie Montgomery, Studio Makgill developed positioning, brand values, product architecture and packaging design, with their strategy emerging from the clarity in Evie’s approach, a beautiful and simple intersection of clinical science and human experience. This was expressed through visual identity by way of visible grid, bright coloured dots and a neutral sans-serif.
