I first contacted (GrathX) Brendan about having a business card designed. He produced a wonderful card for me, (which people remark upon) and in addition organized the speedy and cost effective printing. Brendan has since, also designed and organized the printing of stationery, pamphlets and site signage for my construction business. I am very happy to recommend GrathX as I believe Brendan offers an exceptional service.

SCORM compliant training products

More recently we have been designing for elearning SCORM compliant training products using Adobe’s Captivate. Talk to us about how we can assist you and your business.

Brendan (GrathX) developed a self-paced learning module for us, using the Adobe Captivate platform. Although the core content was provided, Brendan had the challenge of turning a summary from a classroom experience into an engaging, self-paced learning process. His design was innovative, fun and impactful – blending plenty of clever interactive tasks with the straight content theory. He kept the learner in mind at all times. Where a technical challenge arose, he was creative in seeking solutions and collaborative in their implementation. He was also patient with our long review process and lead times. I would certainly recommend him for this work in the future.

Brendan McGrath of Grathx graphics worked with the ACT Government Environment and Planning Directorate…

Brendan showed remarkable versatility in his graphic design skills while completing more than 50 documents ranging from newspaper public notices to invitations, brochures, booklets, reports, plans and the directorate’s annual report. Brendan’s standard of work was high and he was able to value-add to the expectations of teams, whether dealing with urban planning, climate change, heritage or environment protection. He was a key player in finalising key documents for the ACT Government, including a major transport announcement.

Brendan is a prime example of ‘composure under fire’. Even when working to very tight deadlines and with documents that were constantly evolving, he was gracious, calm and polite and maintained his sense of humour. He balanced the demands of different teams with upcoming deadlines so all teams were happy. He was a fabulous—and valued—member of our communications team.

I wanted a record of my artwork from a recent exhibition, as most works had sold. I decided to make a book of images and text.
I asked Brendan at GrathX to do the layout of a small volume ready for the bookbinder. Brendan’s professionalism and patience gave me room to explore options. His experience and input extended my notion of what the book might be. He listened. This has resulted in a most gratifying result. Comments about the layout have been very positive. I feel confident to team up with Brendan at GrathX on my next project to record my artwork. (This one is about to appear on the shelves at the State Library of Victoria, they liked it so much.)

We originally engaged the services of Brendan McGrath of GrathX to create for us marketing postcards and letterbox drop cards for our business. With his keen interest and many questions, Brendan rapidly gained an understanding of our business and how we operated. His innovative graphic designs married harmoniously with our own ideas and proved a marketing success. Photographs, marketing postcards, press ads, shop front signage, inhouse wine labels, menu layouts and our street front menus were professionally created, managed and produced by Brendan and GrathX. Working with Brendan and GrathX was a smooth and hassel free experience. We highly recommend Brendan McGrath and GrathX.
