Rockit Design

Rockit Design Rockit Design - YOUR CREATIVE PARTNER Think. Do. Inspire. Rockit's owner and creative director is Liam Downes.

Rockit Design Ltd is an Auckland based design company specialising in brand identity, dedicated to delivering that personal touch. Through all aspects of graphics and new product design; packaging, web (SEO), Point Of Sale, illustration and photography, Rockit will work with you to turn ideas into reality. Liam brings 20 years experience developing domestic and international brands. His story cove

rs a wide range of industries, from innovation and design projects for 'The Dragon's Den NZ' startup businesses, to 8 years in the role of Creative Manager at Independent Liquor (Asahi Premium Beverages), creating and maintaining a vast portfolio of brands for one of New Zealand's market leaders and trend setters in the multibeverage sector. He spent his first couple of years in NZ on the idyllic island of Waiheke, and quickly went about understanding and connecting with the culture. Before long Liam was branding some of the island's most established and iconic businesses, such as the Waiheke Island Resort and the Waiheke Island Golf Club. He still has connections with people and businesses on the island today and considers it advantageous to be working from his similarly serene west Auckland studio. Liam studied at the University of the Arts in London and worked in design studios and agencies in the UK before moving to New Zealand in 2001. He fully embraces New Zealand's entrepreneurial spirit and takes great pride in building brand loyalty across such a broad and exceptional spectrum of businesses and products. "We pride ourselves on our one-to-one communication, identifying the 'essence', not relying on multiple choice templates to tell a story." Brand portfolio NZ:

Hey!
Tammy and I have submitted a proposal to the Manatū Taonga Cultural Sector Regeneration Fund. As part of the evaluation process, Manatū Taonga is interested to hear from the people that are intended to benefit from each proposal. That's you!

In brief, we are looking to create more platforms for practicing artists and emerging talent through unforgettable experiences; pop up exhibitions, live art competitions and workshops in inspiring nature settings, (inc our giant kauri studio/garden). I will be collaborating with other artists to share tips and techniques, and to bring creative fun to our amazing corner of the world. Tammy will be all smiles, as we open our home and beyond, to explore art in nature. If you don't already know I have recently taken up the role of NZ producer of Art Battle, starting with the first round of heats scheduled for next year in Auckland. Venue and dates to be announced in due course. So this ties in perfectly, connecting the dots to make art, and artists, the stars of the show. And after so much lockdown we could all do with more shows, right?! So please please take the time to get this arty party started! We literally couldn't do it without you.
Follow the link below here read more about our proposal and complete the short survey:

You may also like to give feedback on some of the other proposals being considered. A full list of proposals is available on the Manatū Taonga website. If you need more information about the feedback process, you can read more on the Manatū Taonga website.

Artist Spotlight: Liam Downes (Rockit Design)

Liam studied at the London Institute and Brighton College of Art and Design in the UK before packing his paint brush and moving to New Zealand in 2001. Auckland has become Liam’s spiritual home, while he continues to find inspiration around most corners of New Zealand; from Rangitoto to the city, chaos to sustainability, following his heart, passions and observations. It’s all about the moment. Liam can usually be found painting in his garden studio in Laingholm, and he wouldn’t swap it for the world!

I am proud to inform you that my business has been nominated for the Westpac Auckland Business Awards 2022 - and the voting is now open. I know it’s a bit of an arse ache, but please vote and/or share, as your help is much appreciated - as we are competing with much bigger fish!

With so much uncertainty around Rockit Design has been focussing on a collaborative community venture with Loaded Digital. We have joined forces to create ProLocal, it’s all about connecting and supporting local - an online platform and app to help locals to connect with the businesses and community organisations on their doorstep, via directories, featured listings, coupons, events, local news, awards and more. Suffice to say it is pretty damn cool. It makes me feel good about doing good, in a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world - and with your help, we’ll be coming to an area near you very soon.

So please take a moment to VOTE FOR US here:

Day 2+3 at the Christchurch Art Show. Live painting was productive, a chance to talk about myself unashamedly. At one point I was lost in the moment and turned to discover quite the crowd. Surreal really - probably admiring the manly bun!
SOLD a bit - Give Peace a Chance, The Kiss - Eyes Wide Shut (study) + The Kiss ltd edition framed print + 1 commission.. Spoilt rotten by our friends and hosts Goeff the Jam and lovely Lily. Buddy had a ball - happy families all around. Road trips are priceless. Typing this from Cook Strait between South and North islands, just been out on deck to watch a pod of whales having a right laugh (a whale of a time).. could be worse.. more pics to follow..
