Technically, we communicate any idea visually, and in any medium, but that sounds a bit formal and quite boring, so we'll rather go with: We design and create professional brand identities, marketing collateral and bleeding-edge motion productions.
If you ever had Lego as a kid, or even a decent sandbox, you'll definitely understand the fun and magic that comes with creating something. This is why we got into design - It's like having access to the best Lego set or sandbox for grownups!
We have a variety of work, ranging from some self-initiated pet projects right through to architectural Previz! We are geared to meet most design briefs, and we believe that our portfolio reflects a broad range of skills, interests, and clients.
Not that location is that important nowadays, but we like to be accessible to you. If you're more into the social network side of things, or you just want be all creepy and stalker-ish, we've got some links where you can learn more about the people behind Nospoon Graphics! (But seriously, stalkers - please don't bother. We're not in the mood)
There's a place in every artists' heart for a specific medium, and while we do love to take on any creative challenge, our love lies in the magical worlds of Motion Production, 3D, Identity Design and Marketing Collateral. Below are a couple of exam-ples, and if you'd like to see more, our galleries can be found here. We'd also be stoked to meet you and show off in person!

From complete and professional brand identity development through to eye-catching and sleek marketing collateral production, we understand graphic design in most of its forms, as well as the impact it will have on your business' image.
The magic of motion brings a lot to any message. and nowadays, it's easy to incorporate video into any campaign, if not essential. We create custom, professional-grade motion productions that will leave your audience captivated. For realz.
For anything more specialised, we provide excellent creative assitance options, where we can collaborate with your existing team by bringing our knowledge and technical expertise to any project you could possibly imagine.
We've mentioned this before, but the 'passion' and "fun" things are big deal for us. It's quite simple really: would you rather have someone enjoy creating something for you, or someone who sees it as "just another job?" This value of passion is key to us, and to ensure that we stick to this value, we've developed a great process where we work closely with you and your organisation to create the perfect creative that will hit every and any marks set:
Before we get to play, we meet with you to a) get to know you, and b) to better understand precisely what it is that you need, and how best we can meet that need, while still making it look amazing! A lot of notes will be taken. We promise.
Here we hit the drawing board, and turn the weird pictures that you put in our heads into concepts that we can present to you. This is usually followed with a bit of back-and-forth to refine the vision and to develop your creative project spec.
This is where the real magic happens. Your project spec morphs from design comps into actual produced videos or ready-to-use brand identities.
Basically, we drink a lot of coffee, sleep very little, and have a blast doing what we do best!
This is the most exciting phase, when all the hard work comes together and your project is revealed to you. Seriously a lot of fun.
We also enjoy this phase - your reaction here is the reason we do this.
As great as we believe we are, we're realists, and know that no-one can be perfect every time.
We've prepared for this unlikely development by using a modular workflow, which gives us a lot of flexibility for revisions.
NoSpoon Graphics is the brainchild of husband-and-wife-team Reon and Maggy Viljoen, two creatives from very different backgrounds with a shared passion for all things shiny and new.
He correctly describes himself in some (if not all) of his ’about you’ pages as a tech-whore, and rightly so! If it has a processor and/or screen, he's probably read something about it, and tweeted it.
Yes, you can safely assume that he's also big on social networking, and can be found on a couple of them. (even some lesser-known ones)
Did I mention that he's a rockstar creative too?
Reon is a highly versatile motion graphics artist with extensive experience of design implementation within varied sectors. Some of these include: Big Corporate, Broadcast, Internal Communication, Print, Interface design and Post Production.
He specialises in video & motion graphics, 3D animation, conceptual design, branding & photo manipulation.
He is a witty and expressive guy who is an expert in his field and an adventure to work with.
Coming from a significantly more technical background in architecture, Maggy has evolved seamlessly into a talented and extremely passionate creative, who has taken the concept of redefining yourself to a whole new level.
She has a keen eye for spatial relationships and an uncanny ability to tap into a client's needs.
While extremely meticulous in her design, down to the last detail, her ability to arrange and organise also filters through.
Maggy is a kick-ass creative artist with vast experience in 3D modelling, logotype design, brand development, marketing collateral, print and web design.
A vibrant and determined person, who will stop at nothing to make sure you get what you need!
