Shop Around
Toko
Rob Duncan:

Shop Around designed by Toko in Australia is an identity for an online creative store. The identity cleverly refers to the printed vernacular of the sticky price tags that we’ve all seen at corner stores throughout the world. Taking an age old process to brand a modern online experience is always a winner. A lovely trick using the diecut to create the ‘o’s.

Mulberry Mongoose
Fact Studio
Rob Duncan:

Mulberry Mongoose in a jewelry label based in the Zambian bush. Worn by Hillary Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sting, Fact Studio were tasked with making it appeal more to the Western Market. They created a beautiful fabric used throughout the identity and were Inspired by anecdotes from the women behind the brand, who literally laugh in the face of adversity. “Stories of a life less ordinary”.

James Corden
Carpool Karaoke
Rob Duncan:

Such a good idea for The Late Late Show in the US. We all love singing to music on the way to work, so why not pick up the artist for a live Karaoke session and access to the carpool lane. It’s a great feature on the show and has gone viral on social media as well. Check out all of the other artists too. Enjoy.

War Leaves Many Scars
Kolle Rebbe
Astrid Stavro:

Misereor takes care of the poorest of the poor – the children who have suffered most in the many areas of conflict around the world. This campaign intelligently and shockingly draws attention to the topic of war orphans. The faces of adults on murals or billboards, from locations in Somalia, Iraq and Chechnya, are disfigured by bullet holes. A powerful and easily understood metaphor that says it all.

Pleats Please Issey Miyake
Taku Satoh
Astrid Stavro:

This visually stunning campaign reflects how a clever idea enhances the brand’s appeal with boundless imagination. A great example of art direction at it’s best.

Frieze Art Fair
GTF
Pablo Juncadella:

One of the most important aspects about a good idea is consistency, especially when it comes to art direction. The Frieze Art Fair campaigns by GTF have shown that a simple idea can be told in many ways. A contemporary view on the life of Queens Park (where the Fair takes place) is a very simple idea, yet every year they have managed to surprise us. This is a compilation of some of my favorite Images.

Seline Baumgartner
Hubert & Fischer
Mitch Paone:

Hubert & Fischer perfectly honors the artist Seline Baumgartner “Nothing Else” project with this book. The typography has the right amount of intentional “incorrectness” which references the motion and flow of the artists work. While this design is quite minimal the typographic gesture creates a striking impression throughout the book.

Verso
The Studio
Rob Duncan:

Such a simple, clever, beautifully crafted project by Stockholm agency The Studio. Verso is latin for reverse, as in the backview of a dress or the backside of a painting. Verso Skincare is proven to help reverse the signs of aging.

Storey Floors
The Company You Keep
Christopher Doyle:

I love this brand identity for Storey Floors by The Company You Keep. Storey Floors is a high-end oak floor manufacturer with a unique workflow allowing for a collaborative approach to production and design. TCYK were responsible for the naming and identity work. A simple, clever name and beautiful word mark that moves.
