Brand Identity
Apart from working on my own identity for my website and during the type sessions, brand identity is another area of Graphic Design that I can honestly admit that I have little experience on, but an area that I'd definitely try and take on now that the briefs will be self directed from now on.

Promotional Material

Lux* Hiver - Printempts communication material
by France based Helmo
A piece of work and a design studio that I've mentioned before during my 1st year, but can't resist but mention them again this year as my thoughts haven't changed about their work as I still love it! The blend of typography, detailed vector graphics all merged together by a neat layout makes these visually interesting and functional at the same time. The design has been applied to a range of print based materials from booklets to promotional posters; an area that I haven't really had many chances to explore myself but remain as one of the top things that I'd like to work on.

Type & Editorial
Looking at initial design work that I am interested in, in terms of both the type of design work and the subject matters. A selection of work & design solutions that demonstrate the type of work that inspires me and the standard that I'd aim to produce from now till the end of the 3rd year.

Chef's Special:// 
Publication by Australian based design agency MASH 
One of the areas that I've really come to appreciate alot more this year has definitely been on editorial design. Not only does this example demonstrate a well considered design direction that combines type and image, I also really like the very specific subject matter that it recognises. Something that I aim to work on would be a given subject matter that would be very specific, something that allows me to research on and promote/inform with the design solution.

Not in any relevance to my design practice, but still, this got me rather excited so thought i'd share it here.

Onlab://

Another one of my favourite design studios at the moment, Onlab are a Berlin based Graphic Design studio who work on both commissioned and self initiated work while still being able to publish a number of their own books on design related subjects.

"Dissolving Boundaries, Resolving Worlds - Architectural reflection on camouflage"
An interesting editorial piece by the Berlin based design studio, the use of text as image throughout the layout works really well while still reflecting it's subject matter. This design direction probably won't be suitable in relation to our current ideas with the P&O brief, but definitely a concept that we could develop into something intended deliberately for our resolution.

Family://

Nice bold editorial by a design studio called Family. Aswell as the subject of it, I particularly like the choice of stock to apply colour and the use of binding a smaller booklet onto the main piece.

Your Friends://

Your Friends are a Graphic Design & Art direction studio in Oslo, probably one of my most desired design studios that I would do anything to work for! Their work's often very clean, appropriate and type/layout driven.

Below I have posted a few examples of their work that are more relevant to the P&O project that I'm working on at the moment.

Janine Rewell://

Very nice editorial piece again, with an element of interactivity by Janine Rewell.
'ATTENTION BOOK
Design of an interactive book about paying attention and revealing further depths.'

 

Julie Michel://

Some pretty inspiring editorial and print based designs by Julie Michel from France. It's a shame that the site's in french but thanks for google translate, I am able to gather a rough idea of what these pieces are about.

My way No.03
An interactive map that encourages tourists to plan their trip and appreciate their experience by documenting their thoughts. With our current design direction of creating a loose guide of exploring Europe with your car through an interactive piece, this map is definitely inspiring some of my ideas.

Another impressive piece by Michel, this time in a form of an editorial book.Not entirely sure what this is about, but it seems to run alongside the maps judging by the title and the inaccurate translation from google maps. My way no.01 carries the interactive elements of the map design while pulling together a clean finish with the use of simple colours and bold typography.
