Product Red Promo!!!


Lee Davies:A viral to enhance people awareness of Product Red within the home. I think its great that they actually wrapped a house in red tape really makes a bold statement!!!

Balloooooons!!!!



These posters were produced for the smoking ban that began in the summer of last year. The posters raised awareness of the smoking ban; the balloons not only showed the physical chemicals in public places but also celebrated the ban.

Topshop Range!!!

Moross created a range for Topshop S/S '08 containing 6 jersey pieces featuring science-inspired graphics. Motifs include hand drawn, psychedelic organic designs, intertwined with structured spacial shapes and astrophysical typography.

Love/ Hate Drawings!!!

Love Hate Drawings by Kate Moross. The concept behind this was to list 1o points about the object that she liked or hated about them.
The objects weren't labeled so you had to guess what Moross's feelings were about each one.

Don't You Want Me Baby!!!

'Don't you want me baby' by Kate Moross:
I love this illustration it reminds me of the human league song, maybe thats where the inspiration came from???I also like the link with the fetus and the fact that the text is made up of the umbilical cord.

Hell is...

Nina Chakrabarti - Hell is...
Brilliant statement used and I agree!!!Lovely type, has quite a vintage feel to it and is visually engaging.

'Red Carpet' Invitation!!!

Designers: Helen Lunn and Neil Parsons.
  • very simple, yet innovative was designed to encourage recipients to visit a show apartment.
  • I like the fact that the carpet swatch used matches the red carpet of the event.
  • the invitation part was stuck on the reverse like a carpet label.

This piece is advertising a dentist, I like the fact that a perfect die-cut bite has been taken out of each card. Giving the effect of the perfect smile!!!
Design: Warm Rain.
Client: Surgery PR
Project: Invitation.
Recipients of this invitation to a PR company's press open day instantly want to hold it up in the direction of the nearest light source. The image would become clearer when the light shines through and the transparency of the paper adds the authenticity to the x-ray effect of the hand image. It's an attractive piece that uses paper as an integral part of the design rather than just a surface image. It also encourages anyone looking at it to absorb the information from a different angle.
Design: Angry.
Client: Monkey Tennis.
Project: Flyers.
I like that you have 4 different characters and that you use your fingers for the legs therefore animating them. It creates this interaction between its viewer and the flyer.

This simple but strong identity designed by Arizona's Ater Hours Creative for client Blue Space involves the use of die-cut square on white against blue as shown here. The only way of reading this brochure is to tear it apart from the middle. The question "what are you afraid of?" prompts the reader.This statement seems to be anti-design as it encourages the reader to violate the artwork in order to get to the content within.

Design: Zuan Club.
Client: Arjo Wiggins.
Project: Sample.
This is die cut and folded to create the shape of a suitcase, it works well as this shape and holds a business card within it. The information given is advertising paper and the actual suitcase is made using a sample of it, therefore showing how strong the stock is an ideal for cutting and folding. This selling technique works really well when using the actual product you are advertising.

The fact that this graphic device comes at first flat packed then when opened out it becomes this 3D form of a house. It makes its statement it is portraying just that bit more clearer.
PRE Consultants. Project Stationery:
This concept gave the client or supplier the choice of folding an important or angry letter into an origami shape. The instructions showed through the paper so that they wouldn't be missed by its recipient of the letter. I like the fact that you are given a choice to create the origami or just to ignore it.
'Holiday-wish-Bambi'
This is a christmas greeting card but I think that this design could work for a business card too. The 3D form is created without using any glue and is held together by simply folding it in to shape. Its also interactive so that if it were recieved through the post then you would have the joy of putting it togther to see what it created!!!
This is quite an unusual business card as the text appears blurred and you are unable to read it. However there are no instructions in how to read it but I think the chosen material(rubber/elastic) it is printed on almost makes you want to pull at it and find out what is says. This device is clever and creates this interaction between its viewer and the card. Plus the use of media links well to the information on the card as it is advertising a personal trainer, as there are links to stretches and the pulling of muscles etc...

The content of this business card is clear with the use of the chocolate brown colour scheme. The fact that it also has a bite mark taken out of it enhances this too.
