Lego’s latest campaign, “Imagine”, comes from Hamburg advertising agency Jung von Matt. Can you work out what these 5 fami Just goes to show, the simplest of ideas are always the ones that create the biggest reactions... just got to think of them!!! 1 Comment Beautifully crafted take on the old, much loved game of scrabble. Designed by Drew Capener... so elegantly done! Mark Powell creates some amazing drawings using only a Bic Biro pen. His work really inspires me as i've always been a big fan of unique illustrations... I love how he's done such detailed drawings onto very basic old envelopes. SugarSin will be a modern sweet shop experience opening in central London later this year, billed as ‘non-traditional’ their brand identity was undertaken by UK based design agency And Smith who developed a more sophisticated retail proposition for both adults and children. “…our aim was to communicate the philosophy that sweets are a treat for everybody, not just children. Having designed a logotype and a playful, lollipop inspired marque we created an eclectic illustration-led palette for packaging and stationery. Black and white images of everyday objects are combined with accents in primary colours, suggesting a sophisticated tone appealing to adults as well as children.” With delicate type and a vibrant pink candy-floss colour palette this identity initially sets a very familiar sweet and feminine tone common for confectionery. What differentiates this project is the contrasting use of cut and paste photography to create an unusual world inhabited by balloon ice cream, flying zebras and lollipop men. This unique blend imbues an almost Alice In Wonderland tea-party visual narrative and creates a distinctive style more reminiscent of an experimental design project rather than a commercial retail experience, which is refreshing. In my mind the result is an adult vision of a childhood memory and sets the brand up as a curious and unexpected visual treat. For more information look here! Fastly approaching my final year honours project (ahhh!) looking for inspiration, ive been looking at some students from last years honours projects and the one that stuck out the most was this clever project by Carl Jeffers. "We all know that many designers live life in the fast lane, seeking quick solutions and eating fast food, but all is not lost. Apple have decided to create a package encouraging designers to be healthier in their work place. The package addresses bad habits, poor posture, general health, and exercise.
