Die line packaging "naked crisps"


Tyrrells chips UK are wonderful snacks into very good packs. I don't know the name of the agency who did it but I think that this design underlines the value of the product itself, adding some ironical images (in the basic line), some illustrations similar to the ones shown in botanical catalogues (in the natural line).
The use of typography is calculated and used to enhance a feeling of preciousness underlined also by the selection of images.

hopes & dreams


As I stated earlier in my blog i am using helvetica too much and don't want to use the font in my designs if it isnt nessercery and so I am widening my knowledge of typographic design. I found this hopoes & dreams and found tehcompostion mixed with subtle imargery interesting as it made a focal point around the font.

apple ad vs the postal service


Keeping with the same subject as below, This controversy happened a couple of months ago. The Apple add Is obviously a blatant rip off of the postal service “such great heights” video! The odd thing is that it is by the same production company! and very unlike Apple to Rip-off unknowingly borrow another company’s idea!. see the youtube video here (postal service on the left)

Smile


DESCRIPTION
Poster and programme for the 11th edition of FIHUM, International Humour Festival, organized by the Teatro Alfil in Madrid.

PROCESS
The simple concept of the most known gag –to slip on a banana skin– was the idea to represent humour. This idea could have been presented as an illustration, but perhaps it would be more interesting to take a picture of real elements with pre-designed signs, similar to what was done for MUSAC.

Serial cut



DESCRIPTION
A 68-page promotional publication for the new Contemporary Art Museum of León, MUSAC, which focuses on art from the last 10 years.

PROCESS
The museum gave full free creativity for the layout, and the only aim when this book was given out at the ARCO’05 Contemporary Art Fair in Madrid was “to create a publication that people would keep as a collector’s item”. The idea was to create a special layout with a lovely typeface and some conceptual photographs to explain each area of the museum. Most of these photographs had some designed elements, which were first cut and put into the picture background, to be then photographed as real life elements. The art direction and the concept was definitely to make it special.

I created an outcome for people within college that feel that they have to make an effort at college and so i created a poster that gives you reasons for have a white t-shirt day. You then wear teh t-shirt as shown in pride.

Avant garde



I have developed a strong & strange passion for avant garde gothic pro. although i can't find it anywhere to download it. I may have to buy it. Although i am still very keen on helvetica I find my self using it too much and so i want to explore different typefaces. I found avant garde and found it was inbetween helvetica and futura 2 of my favourite typefaces.
