Meaning there will be other people's work
and my student work.

I have my cargo collective portfolio officially up and running. Everything is updated now and the website I designed is launch-able. Check it.
Last week the D&AD awards 2012 winners, nominations and longlists were announced, some brilliant things so im going to post my favorites this week.
The design for new brand No.3 London Dry Gin by Brandhouse got in-book in the packaging category.
I like the simplicity of this project. The key is an interesting feature, hinting at the story behind the gin and it’s place of origin. The vintage map wrapped around the bottle does a similar job and looks lovely, capturing the urban heritage feel that lots of gin brands play upon. The keyhole cut in the box is a nice touch too!
(P.S. I was doing something interesting this afternoon but I’ll post about it tomorrow. Bit of a hint here)
I wont say too much about this delicious looking design created by Viction:ary, mainly because every other design blog has already featured it. I love it so much though I couldn’t pass it up.
How perfectly quirky is this book? I not only want to buy it, but I want to eat it too! It is really lovely.

Starting on a project to make an illustrated book of a song. I decided on Prevent This Tragedy by Alkaline Trio.
Here’s the first round of sketches for my first two spreads.
I’m pretty pumped for this. I’m looking at comics (Sin City, Red Tide), Charles Burns, Felix Vallotton. Any one got any other good sources of inspiration?
