CAMPBELL ISLAND BICENTENNIAL EXPEDITION
Service Areas: Original Artwork, Science Communication

Planning an expedition to Campbell Island, the 50° South Trust approached EOS Ecology to develop their expedition branding and communication strategy. With the core premise of connecting NZ and the world to their research and the wonders of Campbell Island, effective communication and design was vital to linking with a wide target audience. We were the perfect fit for the job, and what’s better, we did this pro-bono as part of our sponsorship deal.

In the ever competitive world of charitable trusts and fundraising, the EOS team needed to create documents that stood out from the crowd. Original artwork was central to our designs, resulting in a look that is uniquely recognisable and impossible to resist. What’s more, they make the Cambpell Island website stand out from the crowd. To round off the project we created a logo iconic of Campbell Island to give their Steering Group status and the expedition an official banner.

FRESHWATER INVERTEBRATES OF FIJI – AN IDENTIFICATION GUIDE
Service Areas: Original Artwork, Science Communication

Aiming to help local Fijians to identify the freshwater invertebrates in their own environment, NIWA commissioned EOS Ecology to design their invertebrate identification guide.

With the target audience being lay people, EOS focused on designing the guide with an effective layout and clear black and white drawings illustrating the difference between invertebrates. With no artwork available, this project required a large number of taxonomic drawings to be created. EOS staff created drawings from photographs and preserved specimens that were technically accurate (the right scale, proportion, and features) while retaining a realistic three-dimensional look.
