About

Good creative is not simply colouring inside the lines. It isn’t knowing all the shortcuts in Photoshop, and it isn’t about passing the status quo off as an original idea (because, contrary to popular opinion, imitation is not the highest form of flattery). Good creative is the warm fuzzy feeling your ex never gave you, it’s the satisfaction of a sticky ice cream on a hot February day, it’s everything you ever wanted, but that always seemed just out of reach.

Folio Creative are just that – a creative collective of people who want good creative, all the time – be it print design, corporate identity, Website design and development, illustration, advertising creative, concept development, and copywriting. Both armed with extensive agency experience, and a common hatred for the learned-by-rote, storebought, cookie-cutter solutions, Folio Creative co-founders Mat Polaschek and Mike Gordon offer, well, good creative.
