CLIENTS OPINION
“We came to Marc Kandalaft Design with the important task of reinventing a mature professional haircare brand for the increasingly saavy and image oriented consumer of today. After meeting with a variety of graphic design houses, we were impressed with MK-SURFACE3’s team and portfolio. Hip, friendly, talented people + a portfolio reflecting the modern, clean and “cool” feeling we were aiming to impart in our new brand meant business! By providing Piidea with striking packaging graphics, innovative advertisements and collateral pieces for FIX MEN, MK and S3 have facilitated a successful re-birth for our brand. FIX MEN has been impressing even the harshest of critics across the country, from product to packaging to support materials, and the team deserve credit for helping us to solidify and convey our modern, fresh and accessible brand image through their designs. We have appreciated the team’s openness to comments and criticism as well as their ability to deliver a product that satisfies both their creative minds as well as Piidea’s corporate vision within the context of our industry. Piidea looks forward to building our new brand with the help of MK and S3’s graphic design support.”

What was utterly shocking was not the talent that marc possesses which i had seen, but the way he works. I was at first concerned that we were in New York and he in Montreal, but after studying the company's website, marc came up with a fabulous design very near target. We had one phone conversation and he saw our dvd and after which he came up with two refined options both of which knocked us out! I couldn't believe he caught the feel and excitement of the company and the event so powerfully with only a few phone conversations and very limited choice of photos! Yet Marc wasn't quite satisfied, the third version is stunning and contributed greatly to the success of our sold-out opening night benefit.

Avoir un collaborateur qui sache lire vos pensées est
la situation idéale.
Dans mes échanges avec Marc Kandalaft nous avons dès le
début eu cet heureux cas de figure. Je ne suis pas un client facile
- car j'ai des idées assez précises sur ce que je veux -
mais de l'idée à la forme graphique les chemins sont multiples.
Marc saisit très vite le fond de ma requête et possède
ensuite le talent et la capacité de donner une forme - qui peut
varier beaucoup d'un cas à l'autre mais exprimant toujours une
compréhension juste du sujet.
En tant que client je me retrouve avec des solutions satisfaisantes par
rapport au besoin - avec en prime l'expression d'une créativité
en évolution permanente.
Que Marc ait une personnalité attachante, une grande souplesse
d'esprit et une belle culture n'enlève rien au plaisir.

Marc, Jules et moi avons travaillé ensemble sur deux
projets :
La conception d’une série de 9 cartes postales présentant
des visages différents de l’œuvre de Rodin qui a été
diffusée en 2002 sur le réseau culturel Cartapub et rééditée
en 2004 à l’identique, ainsi qu’une campagne d’affichage
dans les couloirs du métropolitain.
J’ai été très heureuse de les rencontrer et
de travailler avec eux et j’ai particulièrement apprécié
leur amabilité, leur patience ainsi que leur justesse de regard
et d’écoute qui ont donné lieu à deux «
produits » dont le Musée Rodin a été très
satisfait.

Le renouveau que nous avions souhaité avec notre partenaire
publicitaire a pris ses marques grâce à la contribution de
la Société MarcKandalaftDesign qui a su, par sa qualité
d’écoute, son professionnalisme et son talent artistique,
faire passer le message que la Gestion Intégrale tenait à
faire valoir au travers de sa nouvelle identité visuelle.

Dear Marc,
We have been working with you from the end of 2003. Since then , piaff's
media communications have improved trumendously. Even though the store
has been servicing its clients since 1980, our graphic identity has always
lacked the high quality that our products offered. We needed our communication
to align with our image and goals.
You have done just that, your media campaigns (posters, magazine adds,
billboards), logos and letterheads have created a much awaited difference.
Your work has had a great impact on both our current clientele and on
our targeted public, increasing our new client to current clientele ration
by 50 percent. Throughout our 24 years in service, no Media outcome has
ever been this high. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Best Regards,
Nabil Al Houssami
