Editorial / Layout inspiration
A very solid bit of editorial by one of my all time favourite German design studios. Onlab's recent projects demonstrate their consisten quality and inspiring design solutions.

Custom Type
Been looking for some inspiration for typeface designs as this is one of the design route's that I've been working on lately for the Ocon brief.
Catalogtree - Monadnock architecture
Catalogtree created a postscript file of the custom typeface of each letter that forms the Monadnock name. (M,O,N,A,DC). This would then be randomly picked and used for printed materials by the architects. I interesting idea of using a typeface and keeping the idea alive and fresh each time it is used.
Studio Oscar - Stussy
Quite a relevant piece of type design that is formed out of 3D cubes, printed on a single colour and repeated to produce a pattern. Due to the nature of the the subject that I'm working on for Ocon - which is construction / architecture, I've been experimenting with some 3D shapes, isometric type to reflect the construction aspect of the client. The idea of being able to rework the type into a pattern has also been considered for the Living Space brief as it incorporates interior graphics and signage systems.

Branding by Toko
Branding for BSA Architects by Toko. A great example of a really simple but well considered and executed brand identity and communication materials. The logo is so abstract, simply formed out of a few bold shapes, the identity itself is the chose of colour and the way it's applied aswell as the logo itself. The simplicity of the logo allows it to work seamlessly with a range of applications from web to printed business cards.
Posters by Lundgren Lindqvis
A really nice set of poster designs by a recently discovered Swedish design studio Lundgren Lidnqvis.
Quite surprisingly, these were designed for a dance & reggae night which were held as a monthly event. Really like the well structured layout which you often see in posters of this sector.

Their poster and publication design for Creative Collective Fashion week is pretty interesting aswell. Again, really nice layout and well considered print specification with an added touch of perforation, which allows users to interact with it.
