What our clients have to say.

I don’t think we could have made a better choice than Universal Head. The site was exactly what we’d pictured in our minds —lean, warm, beautiful and functional—and all achieved without fuss and amazingly quickly. Peter is a genius.

Mary Moran Director, Policy Cures

The Jazz Factory has been very impressed with the creativity, project planning and timely delivery of their fantastic new website. Thank you Universal Head.

Adele Mayhew Director, The Jazz Factory

Compliance is a hard concept to sell. Peter Gifford created a stunning and engaging business ID, seemingly effortlessly, on time and with a rare commitment. We are delighted by how completely our ID captures our strategy. Peter also built us the best website in the industry. We know all this because our clients have gone out of their way to tell us. Our hard-to-impress IT guru raved about the website: “I’m amazed, its beautifully done, I’m very impressed by the html behind the design. A lovely, quick and valid website.” As you will read in the testimonials, Peter exceeds expectations. We expected creative design after seeing his previous work, what we didn’t expect is the value he adds to our business and marketing strategy. Peter is a pleasure to work with and delivers a truly professional result. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Universal Head. I highly recommend Universal Head.

Savanna Walkabout (an educational learning module in Flash 8) was an extremely complex and challenging concept that needed exceptional design and skills to bring it to life. Peter Gifford not only managed to achieve this by creating a visually stunning and engaging interface, but also exceeded the project’s high expectations. His willingness to listen, to provide creative solutions and to deliver on time, were qualities that ensured the project’s success. To achieve this across a 4000km divide is testimony to Peter’s exemplary design talent and communication skills. I would highly recommend Peter Gifford (Universal Head) to anyone seeking a unique and outstanding product.

I have worked with Peter Gifford on a range of web projects including Bugwise and Birds in Backyards. Peter is an outstanding web designer. Since the launch of these two sites we have received frequent positive comments from users, staff and other agencies about the design of these two sites. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter Gifford for web design projects.

Russ Weakley Web Manager, Australian Museum

Peter’s work has delighted me on every one of the five projects i have used his services for. Not only is he a pleasure to work with he has a manner which enables him to clarify details and sharpen the communications using, in his own words ‘design that works’. He work has always delivered a gut sensation that the project will be a winner, that the end client has loved and that the website would be long-lived. His most recent project has been the identity development for my own company (my first) and I am sure it will become an iconic brand.

Caroline Major Director, Shanghai Pies

Universal Head took on an extremely challenging project of visually representing audio technology features which provide an exceptional listening experience. The results were remarkable. The final design managed to be both practical and innovative; it emotively engaged the audience while communicating what the technology does. This made a huge positive impact on the customer engagement, marketing and promotion of the ‘Audistry by Dolby’ brand. We found Universal Head very enjoyable to work with and extremely committed to get us the best results. We would recommend them for challenging projects requiring the highest professional standards of design.

After ten years of frustration with other designers, we found Peter by recommendation. It was one of the best bits of advice we’ve had. Peter is unique because his work not only zings, it also comes in on time and is accurate. Even though he is 12,000 miles away, it is easier working with Peter than a designer next-door.

I wanted to personally thank you for all your dedication, hard work, and commitment to quality in creating such an awesome product and world wide web site. Your commitment to detail in creating a stunning deployment of the www.myst3.com site produced unparalleled results—some of the best in my entire career!

Daniel Irish Producer, Myst III: Exile, Ubi Soft Entertainment (USA)

I would definitely recommend Universal Head for marketing work to any company looking for someone with experience and new, fresh ideas. He brings value to the table through his creativity and is also very personable and full of good humor.’

Marshall Zwicker VP of Marketing, Dreamcatcher Interactive (USA)

Jands first contacted Universal Head with a tight deadline for the creation of a mini-website for our Vista lighting console. The site went from concept to online in less than ten days and was a crucial part of our pre-release marketing.

When we decided to embark on a long overdue revamp of our main company site we again contacted Universal Head to take on the task ... Despite the difficulty Universal Head listened to what we wanted and was prepared to work through a number of designs in order to come up with a solution that worked for all areas of our company. Universal Head were very proficient and friendly and we will not hesitate to use them for our future graphic design requirements.

David Mulholland Jands

Peter’s designs and art direction have been of the highest standard, and he is ever helpful and accommodating to client demands. Peter is very professional, and his adherence to demanding deadlines is very much appreciated. I do not hesitate in recommending Universal Head.

Eva Wu Ozemail

Peter has developed some of the most creative work I have seen on the web. Knowing he delivers on time, is easier to work with and offers up advice ranging from color to design and multimedia, makes my job easy. Clients love his work ethic and attention to detail. I only pray we never lose him, he’s simply too valuable to our business!

Gordon Currie Eldoren Consulting (Canada)

Peter has completed many projects for me and while I’ll be the first to say there are lots of good designers around, few have an eye for detail like Peter. He has a strong sense of balance and style and understands a good brief with a minimum of fuss. A true professional and a pleasure to work with.

Niels Bendixsen Three Square

Peter was instrumental in determining the successful visual image of both Animotion Design and Adimex—from logo design, advertising and stationary through to the Adimex web site and corporate videos. He has that uncanny ability we find so rare in graphic designers—the ability to quickly realise our marketing objectives as effective communications material first time and every time.

Mark Richards Adimex

During the past eight years I have commissioned Universal Head on a wide range of projects including stationery design, logo design, television program openers and television promotions graphics. Universal Head are my first choice not only because of Peter’s ability to fully understand the brief and respond to it accurately but also for his combination of creative wit and commercial reality. I can honestly say that Universal Head always exceed my expectations.
