Pentagram have designed a construction fence that also acts as an outdoor gallery. Canvases showcasing some of the Museum’s content are leant up against each other as if they were in an artists’ studio. Cleverly titled ‘Constructionism’ Paul Scher describes the project – “…the artworks are literally out on the street, Constructionism is a celebration of what the Museum does, which is make art accessible to the city.”
This project is an example of how good design solutions can be humorous and beautifully crafted at the same time. Losiento have become experts at this. Treating bread like living beings (by building holes in a cardboard boxes) makes sense not only for practical reasons but it adds wit to the project. Thus capitalizing on one of the most important aspects of fresh bread: The lovely smell.
Within an hour after the Paris attacks, an artist’s heartfelt symbol of peace became a worldwide sign of support for France. The illustration is powerful in its simplicity: A peace symbol (originally by Gerald Holtom) with the Eiffel tower, rendered in bold, black strokes against a white background. Jean Jullien created the image, “Peace for Paris,” and posted it on Twitter and Instagram. Jean Jullien has developed a remarkable ability to synthesize.
The Terra Alta region has experienced the passage of numerous cultures. Ilercavònia, Almodí and Domus Pensi are small discoveries, vestiges of the presence of these cultures in our land that have left their mark on how we work and how we cultivate the vine. Typographically, the labels reflect this concept, with an upturned letter ‘A’ giving shape to a logotype that reinforces the duality of Alta Vins.
The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, is one of the most respected and longest serving in the whisky industry. To celebrate his remarkable 50 years with the distillery, The Balvenie released an extremely rare 50 year old. Here Design’s idea was to represent the passing 50 years using 50 layers of wood. Crafted from 49 slices of native Scottish timbers, the 50th ring is brass engraved with the story of 50 years of The Malt Master’s career.
Sometimes it seems that everything is invented until something fresh and simple appears. This is the case of the book serie of Mox Nox. The mega-glossy mirror covers and the colorful surfaces that categorize authors and title, reflect the new look about architecture, design innovation and urbanism that publishing house Mox Nox wants to achieve.
Mellbye is an architect studio in Norway. Create an identity that combines the two initials of their main services (architecture and interior) and at the same times shows an M that stands for Mellbye, is a brilliant solution. A papel palette and the use of lyers, reflect their use of materials in buildings. Well done Heydays.

Inspired by the San Andreas Fault, this two-leaved poster experiments with the fragility of a city built on a fault line: the top sheet being torn in half through the middle of the typography, to reveal the fault line running through San Fran.
We all know a brand isn’t just a great logo. But in my opinion every brand still needs a great logo. This one really caught my eye recently. Beautifully clever and simple, two letter ‘Fs’ creating a forward arrow. It looks fantastic on the car. Designed in-house by Bryce Shawcross. Great work, looking forward to seeing much more from this company in the near future. Would love to take this car for a spin too.
