This final show for Arts University Bournemouth playfully reflects the file naming conventions adopted by many students, while nodding to the infinite refinements required to bring a concept to life.
Dia have produced a beautiful set of typographic covers for A-Trak. Each cover is a clever interpretation of the track title. All produced in black and white, many of the concepts were derived from the animated version of the title as opposed to the flat graphic idea. This created a set of covers that work extremely well when static and moving—a perfect solution for social media applications and print. More here.
The Makaton language programme combines speech and signing, to help people with learning or speaking difficulties. MultiAdaptor have re-branded the programme with an aim of ‘Giving everyone a voice’. The symbol combines speaking and signing in one clever little icon, with a hidden speech bubble created between the thumb and forefinger. It’s a logo that anyone can sign, whether they know Makaton or not. The wider identity uses playful language, warm photography and a vibrant colour palette?
A great idea for Artfinder by Design Studio. The missing dot from the ‘i’ in the logotype becomes the main character of the brand. Referencing the typical red dot stickers that are used in the art world to mark a piece of art as sold, the dot overlaps images, scales, crops and get’s used in a creative and playful way. Certainly makes buying art more fun and approachable. An extremely simple, relevant and iconic solution.
A lovely Rebus logo solution by Pentagram for the Heart & Stroke Foundation in Canada. Beautifully bold and simple. It couldn’t and shouldn’t be anything else. Perfect for fulfilling the bilingual requirements of Canada.
Who Gives A Crap is an eco-friendly toilet paper company that donates 50% of it’s profits to help build toilets for those in need. It was launched in 2012 and has already donated over $428,500 to help fund sanitation projects in developing countries.
For Christmas this year they commissioned a range from the Jacky Winter Group, with 12 Australian artists contributing designs. The results are a burst of colour and fun in an otherwise crappy category (zing!). Great name, great cause, great design.
We can all agree this US election has been depressing, with few bright spots – and thank you Scotland for the best one!
Trump tweeted he was proud of them leaving Europe during Brexit, except Scotland voted to stay by 62% – and they let Trump know what they thought of him.
JP Stallard took these lyrical quotes and injected some fun colours and type to showcase the Scots magical use of language
A beautiful new brand for Yo Sushi by Paul Belford Ltd. The graphic ideas and colors throughout are stunning and clever in concept. The brand guidelines are particularly clever, presented as a Bento box with fish and chips (for materials and color palettes).
