Testimonials
"I have known GDR for many years ever since they spotted Fold7’s potential when we where just a fledgling agency.GDR have been absolute champions with an innate ability to identify partnerships successfully, introducing us to some of the world’s best brands. Their reward is nothing more than to receive great feedback from great clients. This is a very rare thing indeed in such as highly competitive environment.I can’t thank GDR enough for the contribution it has made to the success of our business.” Simon Packer, Fold7.
"Having seen my website, GDR thought I would work well in collaboration with Moët & Chandon to design the packaging for their Flower Rosé Champagne. We clicked immediately. My brief was focused around a tulip design motif and the colour pink. I was able to incorporate my standard illustration technique of felt tip pen which came across perfectly in the tulip design on the box. The client, who hoped to widen their consumer base with a younger, trendier look, felt it looked elegant, yet in keeping with my individual style. Everyone seemed very pleased with the resulting package and it was a big success worldwide." Daisy de Villeneuve
“The GDR report is a designer's roadmap to leading edge design. Each issue fills me with envy, lust, pride and wrath.”
