A new look for a new festive season

No-one wants to think about Christmas yet, but when it involves ice skating, food markets and the odd ale or two we start becoming more festive by the minute. We're currently in the process of updating Eden's much loved campaign, A Time of Gifts featuring the lovely illustrations of Andrew Bannecker . Here's a sneak preview...






Stay tuned for the finished campaign and a leaflet with some interesting print finishes.

Unicef Tap Project...

These are beautiful illustrations for the Unicef Tap Project by Christian Borstlap. Lovely to see illustration and photography brought together so elegantly.

We love the smell of paper in the morning.

Even the digital amongst us love paper modeling and we love seeing talented people and their paper masterpieces. The latest spotted on It's Nice That is Jen Stark. See more of her work at www.jenstark.com.

  

Animation, but not as you know it

A lovely collaboration between Blu and David Ellis creating an installation/animation which makes you want to pick up a pen (and a tub of paint) and get creative. Looped twice for some unknown reason. Cheers Shapes That Go.


COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis (2 times loop) from blu on Vimeo.

Putting the service back in service stations

Service stations are a miserable place where you are forced to part with large sums of money with little return. So we were pleased to spot this design for a Romanian petroleum company Vitro, recently given a brand make-over by Saffron. A collaboration between architecture and graphic design makes for a modern, striking environment and the colour gradient (or disco) lighting is a pleasant change from the glare of florescent tubes. The principle is to make the driver as welcome as the car, great idea but I wonder if you can still buy an over chilled Ginsters meat slice?  View the full brand story

There's something about clock design which really appeals to us. We've got several time-based screensavers in the studio that think up ever more creative ways to tell the time so we liked stumbling upon Biegert & Funk's QLOCKTWO.

The clock comes is several colours and hi-lights the time through it's typographic interface. The bad news is it costs €885.00 but the good news is you can get an iPhone version for 59p at the iStore.

WHY?

Having our studio overlooking Falmouth harbour and working with Pendennis means we are always being made envious by the amazing Superyachts we see. However, when we spotted this on Corking Design's blog it blew our minds. Anyone fancy a 58m 'moving island' developed with the latest and most advanced sustainable technologies, trees in the atrium and its own 25m salt water swimming pool?

The yacht is design by WHY (a partnership between Wally Yachts and Hermes). Take a look at the micro-site here...
