DESIGN INDUSTRY NEWS

RETRO BRANDING - 

Every 5 years (or so) the design world moves into a main trend, we had 80’s comeback in the early 2000’s and now we seem to be into a retro wave.

Flat Design, Hipster, Retro… all these have the same drive at heart. The need to bring back a time when things were simple, wholesome and lasting. it’s a sort of antiestablishment trend away from technology and the complexity of todays economies  - hope this inspires you.

FLAT DESIGN TREND - 

We don’t like saying it but this could also be (loosely) described as the Hipster Design Trend.

Flat design is based on simplicity but this does not mean that it has to be plain. In these examples we show you how when applied with either Colour or Black & White background photographic images, the overall look acquires a modern yet timeless quality that is trendy but also has immediate commercial appeal - hope this inspires you.

FASHION STAMP DESIGN - 

These are some of the beautiful stamps part of the “Great British Fashion Stamp Set” collection of the Royal Mail.

These striking images remind us that design, print technology and visual power can help to augment the function of any product, even the ones that no longer enjoy the use that they once had… like stamps - hope this inspires you.

COFEE AND BEER? - 

We were only just saying that our most popular posts have either been about Beer or Coffee… and guess what?

As part of a charity project to raise funds for disaster relief efforts for the devastating 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, Anchor Coffee and sake & beer brewery, Sekinoichi, collaborated to create the ‘Coffee Beer", a beer with a rich, deep taste, due to the coffee beans added during the brewing process. 

The two companies, both from the devastated region in northern Japan invited design company Nendo to develop a distinct packaging design for the product - Looks great but what does it taste like?… let us know or better still send us a few bottles :)

PAINTED BOOKS - 

We are often inspired by the process of taking something that is no longer wanted and then by some stroke of genius turned into a work of art.

Los Angeles-based artist Mike Stilkey likes to experiment with the canvases he chooses for his whimsical paintings, including vintage paper, record covers, book pages, and most interestingly on hardcover books themselves.

Every year a countless number of books are thrown out so it’s good to know that at least some books get to live again - hope this inspires you.
