Almost all of the work we do is commercial work. In fact, we find it quite difficult to work without some kind of brief, or budget constraint, or without having a specific message, or some kind of content that has to be conveyed. On the occasions that we’ve worked on non-commercial projects, we’ve often felt overwhelmed by having a completely open brief so we’ll often self-impose some kind of framework to make it possible for us to work.
