Frozen Yoghurt...

From thedieline.com:

'Frolick brings to Singapore the frozen yogurt craze that has been sweeping Hollywood. Giving the brand a politically incorrect attitude, the store frontage is dotted with badges that sport catchy slogans like "We stay hard longer", "Size does matter" and "I like it topless"...

They are also given away and kept as collectibles where fans and customers alike will be able to look forward to updated ones with each new store opening. "We wanted to approach yogurt in a fun, unexpected sort of way, rather than follow the conventional health-conscious image that other brands have," says Chris Lee. "The pull factor is tasty yogurt, a good design and spunky attitude."'

Pantone Pannettone...

I think this is just genuinely really clever. These were made by a design company called Purpose. The description here is in their own words:

"For their first Christmas, newly established printers Greenford Printing
wanted a memorable way to promote their business and at the same
time wish their valued clients a 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year'.

By building on the familiar language of colour specification, Pantone
swatches initiated the main theme for our concept. ‘Panettone’ created
a colourful twist on the traditional Italian Christmas cake.

The Panettone boxes arrive as a set of 5, featuring special dates
from Christmas Eve to New Years Day, each one representing a
different pantone colour.

All I want for Christmas is...

A pack of type trumps! These are amazing....I just....I have no words, I want these so badly! From Face 37

Matches...

I am not sure if I like these...but the concept is interesting!

Here is what...

2 hours of boredom,
1 black pen,
1 A5 piece of paper,
2/3 of a glass of wine
Bridget Jones 2 (the film, not as good as the first obvy.)
and 1/2 a Graphic Design Degree gets you...

Clever Milk...

This is Sainsbury's new idea for packaging their milk. This is a bag that would hold milk, and then you could decant it into...well some other milk holding device. The bag would use 75% less packaging, and be more environmentally friendly, though not all local authorities collect bags as part of their recycling schemes. I'm not really sure about this...I mean its all very well and good, but if the milk is going to cost the same then this improvement is just making Sainbury's more money...

Animal Index...

These are so cute, and very cool. I am not exactly sure what they are meant to do, but they're just nice and interesting.

Furniture Promotion...

Autoban are a furniture design company based in Istanbul. These images are they're promotional postcards

Biscuit Book...

I think this is a notebook...its hard to tell, but I like it!

Book Type...

This type, made out of various book shapes, is very clever and interesting...nice work!

Book Cover...

I just like this book cover...no idea what's in it!

Tate...

Cool new stationary products for TATE from Buddy [www.buddycreative.com/]

Perfume in a hat box..

This perfume is not only very expensive, but is sold in this very cute hat box. I like the design, and over the top concept.

Oh, I do so want this...

This would be the most amazing thing ever! I love this concept!

















- Sadly, this is not a commercial product. The concept belongs to Ignacio Pilotto, and there is no affiliation Pantone, Inc. and the Rubitone.

I ♥ Waitrose...

I really like this packaging design for Waitrose own brand products. I like that not all of the designs are identical, and they match each product in an appropriate way. I like the simplicity, and the quirkyness of the designs.

Si Scott Designing...

Interesting video of how Si Scott (Illustrator) creates his designs

International Music...

I love this illustration for International music at Cadogan Hall in London. I picked this up ages ago when I went to a Prom with Lovely Sophie (her official name) and just found it amongst a pile of other paper stuff.

Pirate Posters...

This is 1 of 3 posters designed by Office for 862 Valencia
I really like this one, and the phrase on another (which was too small an image to post) which says:

Pillage before Plunder,
What a blunder,
Plunder before Pillage,
Mission fulfillage!

I ♥ this font...

Ink Splash Font

Good Design..

This is so true, and I feel like this quite a lot...

Inspiration...

I think that these photographs are pretty self explanatory... I just think this is really clever!

Advertising Archive...

I found this really cool website that has an archive of interesting and creative advertising. These are some that I like the most...

Dorset Cereals...

I love this packaging! I would never normally buy cereals that cost more than £4 a box, but I was kindly bought some by a very nice special person. I have kept the beautiful packaging for any future use that I may find for it, but I have to say that the cereal inside tastes awful! Literally like sticky cardboard! I find it odd that a company would market disgusting tasting cereal in immaculate packaging...maybe that is their ploy, pretty box no one will notice the taste! Oh well...heres some pretty boxes...

More packaging...

I found these packaging designs for a new Selfridges food range. I really love the simplicity, but the use of bright bold colours that set off the black background.

Screen Prints...

These photographs are of two finished screen prints, and one Brusho print.
This print is a CMYK print, made using four different screens.





















This is a print, using just the CMY screens, there is no black ink used on this image





















This is a Brusho print. This type of effect is achieved by painting powder based inks onto the screen, and then squeegeeing the binder liquid through. I really like the mottled effect that these inks create.
