View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Mark TurnerAbout Mark Turner : Creativity is not something that can be turned on like a tap. You are either creative or you are not. It is something you cannot teach you can only feed it. I feel most creative when we are having a design/brain storming meeting in the studio. I love the interaction of other like-minded, passionate people; ideas really come alive!
Packaging is my passion, it started from my love of sculpture and form as a young artist and design allows me the best of both worlds to produce a piece of packaging that is not only stunning, but unique and meaningful with real purpose for our clients.
Excellence in design is about both form and function. At it's best, design captures the eye, appeals to the heart and satisfies the mind. It is more than just sitting in front of a computer and pushing a few buttons. Design starts with a thought and is nurtured into an idea. The creative process can be painful at times and can lead you into directions you are not expecting, but as long as you follow your passion, design will never be boring.
Creative - Passionate - Thinking.
