Still Missing
Gio Castranova
Lyam Bewry:

Still Missing is a book documenting the folk art of lost & found pet posters. The project, by Gio Castranova who self-confesses he is neither a graphic designer or artist but just a huge lover of pets and found beauty, captures a huge range of posters from all over L.A. County, from the sentimental to the obscene.

More information about the book is available here.

Journeys with Johnston
Paul Felton:

Transport for London have launched a new poster project that celebrates the 100th anniversary of Edward Johnston’s iconic typeface for the London Underground. Some lovely designs from the likes of Alan Kitching, Magpie Studio, SEA and The Beautiful Meme show just how relevant the 100 year old typeface still is today.

Brand Bard
MultiAdaptor
Paul Felton:

Shakespeare Lives is an international programme of events to celebrate Shakespeare’s life and work, on the 400th anniversary of his death. The ‘Shakespeare Lives’, logo is activated with the word ’in’ to create a flexible system to communicate the myriad of places where Shakespeare still ‘lives’ today. Typography is anchored to the name in a series of blocks that are a homage to the historical print process of hot metal typesetting that typified the posters and programmes of Shakespearian times.

Material Design: Making Color Easy
Buck / Google Design
Jeffrey Iacoboni:

Even something like color palette guidelines don’t have to be static. This animation not only explains the dynamics of choosing colors for Google products, but does in an easily digestible and enjoyable way. What designer doesn’t love watching moving fields of color?

Hide&Eek!

A bedtime book for children (and adults) where hidden images magically appear by torchlight. Illustrated by Rebecca Sutherland.

NUA signage
Jim Sutherland:

A signage system for Norwich University of the Arts. The building shapes are used as wayfinding icons – linking a series of disparate locations across the city.

Natsuki
Erretres
Rob Duncan:

Natsuki is a new Japanese restaurant based in Madrid designed by Philippe Starck. Erretres have designed the identity bringing together the traditional elements of Japanese life in a very modern way. It is inspired by the phases of the moon (Suki meaning ‘moon’), and traditional Kamons (Japanese family emblems). These new Kamons were then infused with neon light colors and the Kawaii culture of Japan. The result is beautiful, fun, fresh and sophisticated. A really lovely project.
