About Us:

Polygram is the design studio of Gaelen Pinnock, a Cape Town based graphic designer, artist and former architect with 20+ years industry experience.

Approach:

At Polygram we use an empirical, first-principles approach to design. This means that we develop well-considered concepts and appropriate design tactics for each project.

We have found that with a robust visual design framework underpinning a project, it connects our clients’ needs and ambitions with their audience much more effectively.

Philosophy:

We are not shy to question assumptions, reject trend, and constantly ask “why?” to get to the heart of a problem. Combining this with experimentation we’ve been able to create some powerful and unique design solutions for our clients.

 

We offer a range of services including report design (print and digital), logo’s and branding, infographics and web design. If you like what we do and would like to work with us, please get in touch!

I have enjoyed working with Gaelen on a number of projects over the last decade. Besides his obvious talent, he's always engaged, thoughtful and adaptable in a manner that makes it easy to problem solve on the go, and get the best out of any brief.

What makes Gaelen's work exceptional is that he combines superb technical skills with the ability to turn a concept into a striking, appealing and highly memorable visual. It is this creativity and intelligence that makes Gaelen an outstanding designer.
