Today Dear Reader released their new album entitled Idealistic Animals and we are really excited because we handled the album photography as well as all the press photography leading up to and supporting this album. It’s a special album worth getting your hands on. This was done together with Marcus Maschwitz.

These are a few pages of the CD inlay where our images have been used.

Melon Graphics was recently contracted to create a personalised blog for musician, Alan Shenton (Harris Tweed, Cassette and Zebra & Giraffe). We created customised headers, colours, fonts and additional navigational pages for Alan using the features of wordpress, so that he would still be able to update and add blog posts himself.

This is the ideal website for a musician, artist, band or even an individual.

We recently printed the below flyers for the bands Zebra & Giraffe and Dear Reader. We loved the way the flyers came out and just thought we would post them for you to see!

We were in our local newspaper today – The Bedfordview and Edenvale News. Here is what we had to say…

We at Melon Graphics South Africa would be really sad if the pine forest is taken down for yet another shopping centre.

Marcus Maschwitz (owner of Melon Graphics South Africa) recently did a photo shoot with up and coming South African band HARRIS TWEED and the theme is quite fitting. The concept of the photo shoot was to create a feeling of the two band members (Cherilyn and Darryl) camping in a dark forest with intent to cut down the trees to create a clearing, when the forest trees get angry and tie them up and hold them hostage! We loved how the concept worked in favour of conservation. We used this particular park for the dual purpose of petitioning against the proposed shopping centre and for the band photography.

I myself am getting married at St. Francis in the wood in December and would be devastated if the trees are gone before then. We chose this quaint chapel because of the beautiful surroundings.

We are only two people and the removal of these trees directly effects us both.
