Montreux Cafe

The Brief:
Full identity system developed for Montreux Café, with the aim of increasing it's brand awareness. We have also incorporated a set of brand colours to help improve on the brand recognition of Montreux Café.
We've used a similar typeface to help bridge the transition of the rebrand, as well as keeping elements like the wheat symbol (as requested by the client), that was used to subtly frame the wordmark. By varying the thickness of the condensed typeface we are able to compact the wordmark as much as possible, yet maximising legibility.
For the online shop of Montreux Café, users will be able to rate, like and comment on the pastries, or share their recipes on facebook. The solution acts as a corporate website with blog and shopping cart integration and, based on the users' order history, the system would also be able to recommend new and similar pastries to the consumers. The comprehensive product gallery could be sorted into different categories, alphabetical order, most viewed and best sellers.

A great little example of combining foreign cultures with design. In this case; Mexican.

Humour is EVERYTHING.






Rowan Toselli

From the Designer: 'I designed the cover of the third issue of the 'NICE Magazine' by Nicework (the company I work for). NICE Magazine is a free online magazine that showcases talented designers, illustrators and other extraordinary creatives. It is a continuation of the company culture and design-orienIts an online magazine (http://www.nicework.co.za/nice-magazine). Each issue is themed and his particular issues theme is 'tactile'. I designed this geometric pattern, and engraved it into an old cross-section of a tree trunk. It is engraved 4mm deep which gives off a very nice tactile look and feel.'

Ork Posters


I want this. More here.

Mr Shabba

I'm pretty sure I've posted the work of Dean Walton, aka Mr. Shabba, before but I couldn't resist this. He's just released a new collection of five prints celebrating contemporary sci-fi cinema, and although I'm not as blown away as his last collection, nost notably his Blade Runner piece, I do like the the 'The Fifth Element' design seen to the left. I think the choices of colour are great and represent the visual tones of the movie perfectly, combined with the choice of illustration I feel the poster just works well as a whole.

More examples from this series and previous series can be found here.

Save Community

There's a lot of controversy surrounding the midseason benching of 'Community' at the moment. Being a big supporter of the show I'm a little shocked, but not as much as others. And some of these people are willing to take action, combining their passion for the show with their love for design to create some really fun graphics. Below are just three examples of the current campaign to keep the show on the air. The three where all designed by Jon Defreest and I love the effortless blend of vintage graphics with the characteristics of people on the show.

Fake Anything

Fake Anything is a blog that seems to have recently started, but if it continues the way it's started then it will be fantastic soon enough. Check it out here, and look below for a few examples of what you'll get.

Dr. No Effects

Sometimes you find a piece of design where you go 'wow'. That's what I said when I came across the below illustrations, designed for vintage affect guitar pedals. The concept it a bit alien to me, but I can still appreciate good design when I see it. I adore the illustrative style, and the colour combinations seem perfect. Combine that with package design and I am blown away. More images can be found here.





Seven Monkeys

I wish I could draw like this.


Koala Ranch

I was searching for animal inspired packaging when I came across the illustrations seen below. I'm not entirely sure they fit within the realms of appropriate Body Shop visuals, but I can't deny the overall impact they have. Maybe it's the vector approach that first attracted me, but after looking at the minute detail and the composition that seems to flow effortlessly I can't help but be inspired.




Animals in Packaging

Bearing in mind I am considering using animal imagery for my Body Shop brief, I thought I would do some research into the different ways animals can be utilized in package design. I am looking at the different types of illustration, colour schemes and compositional choices, as well as anything else that may inspire me. Below are just a few images I will use as a reference.

The Body Shop; Product & Range


Goran

Sometimes I just need to look at a designers work and be inspired for no other reason. I found 'Goran' and felt instantly better. His work is colourful, vectorised and fun. That's what I want my work to be. And it will.





The Body Shop

Response: The Body Shop want to remind the public that they are the pioneers of ethical beauty. In response to this brief, I overprinted Body Shop protest and campaign slogans on relevant newspaper articles.


This is an interesting response to the brief, perhaps I could take inspiration from this and create something as memorable and different.

The Body Shop

I came across the below piece of design in relation to 'The Body Shop' and thought the idea was fantastic. I like the message communicated and the aesthetics that accompany the message are dead on. From the choice of stock to the use of green as the sole colour, the product works really well. However, it may be slightly cliched. There seems to be a formula of off-white stock usage and earthy tones that's used very often. I need to create visuals that appear in line with this visual approach but stand out in their own way.
