Describe how you arrived at the final design

These posters illustrate what a staggering difference an astute and timely piece of investment advice can have on your personal wealth and how, by looking at things differently, Westpac’s Private Bankers can change your fortunes.



Working with an art based Letterpress Printer we created a series of bespoke prints. The limited edition prints were gold foiled, signed and numbered by our Printer, giving each intrinsic value. They were then framed and hung in the bank’s offices, where existing and potential clients could view them.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Everyday existing and prospective clients view the pieces of art and upon reading them have a clearer understanding of what Westpac Private Bank offers its clients.
