ALEXANDER LIS - NIPPON CONNECTION











This guy seriously knows a strong brand and art direction. Even the colours work so well. Two colours I thought I hated but work so seamlessly in this project. The trend of folding paper was quite an underlying one, never massively took off and never got too big yet designers were aware of it as a trend. It works really well in this project, especially how it allows the videos to show all the sponsors logos in three waves, concealing the logos to reveal the next set and so on. Clever move.

JORDAN WALKER - SWEENEY TODD POSTER


Poster I did experimenting with type treatment and also fabricating environments. Placing together stock images and making it look like it was a composition.

BERGER & FÖHR - RECHNER APP







Beautifully simple calculator app for the iPhone by Berger & Föhr. The functions are applied by swiping the screen in different directions. For example, swiping right does addition sums where whiping upwards is the "equals" function.

The colours are really powerful, i'm a huge fan of mono colour design and this is a perfect example.

TRAVIS KOCHEL - FF CHARTWELL





A font that makes pie charts. Now this is cool.

Simple by inputting the data on a line of text and then changing the style, it creates really nice, clean, simple pie charts, bar charts, line graphs and more.

"Using OpenType features, simple strings of numbers are automatically transformed into charts. The visualized data remains editable, allowing for hassle-free updates and styling."

JAY-Z - BROOKLYN NETS IDENTITY



The title is serious. Jay-Z apparently designed this. If so I have to give props to the guy.

I posted a while back about Gaspard, one of Justice making a poster for a gig. It seems musicians are delving into the world of design. This is the reverse of what i'm doing. Has to work somewhere along the line.

THE DESIGN SOCIETY - THE DESIGN SOCIETY JOURNAL





The nice guys at The Design Society have sent me over some pictures of the last 5 issues of The Design Society Journal. I've been in contact with them for the past couple of days seeing if I can arrange to get the whole back catalogue so far sent to me in Endland. The publication is only available in Singapore at the moment and have no online store or plans to create one.

They're been super friendly and it should be getting send within a week or 2!

AFTER THE FLOOD - THE TITANIC


Beautifully shown videographic by After the Flood for BBC regarding the disaster of the Titanic.

US - BENGA - WILL NEVER CHANGE


Amazing music video by design company Us. The video uses 960 separate vinyls to create a stop motion wave form on a single bar. The art direction just looks brilliant and simple at the same time.

JORDAN WALKER.CO.UK


Here is my new website for 2012 if you haven't seen it already. Did it about two weeks ago and forgot to mention it here. Sorry about that.

MATTHEW IRVINE BROWN - MUSIC FOR SHUFFLE


Music made with small clips of the same sounding song or same key and then played in shuffle mode n iTunes. It's remarkably simple looking but works well.

I BOUGHT #4





1. 14/41
Mash Creative owned Mark Bloom produced a book showcasing his favorite logos from the past 14 years. The book also includes 5 golden rules about approaching brand design. Really nice book design, lovely monochromatic design.

2. Design Assembly Book
I'm still yet to work this book out, I wasn't a huge follower of Design Assembly and to be honest bought the book on it's format alone. It's being hailed as award winning material and book of the year, really should tuck my nose into this.

3. Spiel Issue #3
I think I heard about this through It's Nice That and it was straight up my alley as an independent publication. The design on the fron echos old retro football shirts.

ABSTRAKT - CORPORATE IDENTITY 2011



Really nice and simple logo design by Abstrakt. Reminds me of V&A's logo and the simplicity in that.

NICOLE MEYER - 10,000 LAKES


  


I saw this a few months ago, added it to my (virtually redundant) cargocollective feed and forgot about it. Saw it pop up on ffffound and instantly thought, "Christ, it's got big," Nicole Meyer has been redesigning and creating signs for lakes all around America simply stating "Lake logos have a tendency to be, well, fairly ugly."

They're all amazing and she's been doing one a day for... well, quite a while now.

Really nice duo tone posters from French company Atelier Muesli.

REPRESENT - THE IDEAL CANDIDATE


Every day of February, Represent asked a differnt creative/design agency what they look for in an interviewee. Simple things like describing them in three words or even what you shouldn't do in an interview. This sort of thing needs to printed out as a flyer and put at the front of "The Design Graduate Handbook" not that it exists.

The site itse'f has a really nice basic design using of all things Arial Bold (i'm gritting my teeth as a fan of Helvetica but it does actually work bloody well) and the title font Aperçu. Nice bright colours that stick out.

Don't know how long the site will be up for but definitely check it out.
