Csetvei Winery Hrsz. 737 Wine Label Design

Take a look at the creative packaging design by Kira Koroknai, Budapest. As a starting point, Kira’s goal was to create a minimalistic and eye-catching design which fits to the extant identity of Csetvei Winery. With the black and white pattern, she wanted to reflect on the wine’s characteristic and full-bodied taste. The other aspect of the designing was to create the unity of the label and the bottle. Kira wanted the bottle design to be a part of the treat of drinking wine, that’s why she chose the full bottle design instead of a classic label form. This way, the bottle also becomes a part of enjoying the wine. It creates a personal experience as the drinker holds and turn the bottle around while having a chat.

Paper Display – Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair

Check out this Nike store display by the Finland-born, Amsterdam-based illustrator Kustaa Saksi before, but this time, it is his fantastical paper display at the Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair. The intricate and delicate display from 1120 stacks of A4-size paper (total of 700,000 sheets of paper) suspended from 44,000 points in the ceiling. Ceiling frescoes, church domes, altars – these were all part of the inspiration for Saksi and Wingårdh who concluded that paper is still them most commonly used means of communication and therefore the perfect material for the display.

Helsinki Design Week

The visual identity of Helsinki Design Week changes every year. In 2012 the theme was co-creation. Their is an old game invented by the Surrealists called the ’cadavre exquis’. A folded piece of paper is passed around a table, each person draws their own part without seeing what else has been drawn. The end result is somethings more interesting than the sum of its parts. The identity is based on this idea of co-creation.

GOLDEN

Graphic design is Golden and this artist really showed us that. Its just not ‘slapping text and an image together’ in order to make any print material or online graphics. Its just no sitting in front of a screen, but a blend of research hard work and creativity with lots of time spent.

Blood of Grapes Wine Bottle

This creative bottle design was created by Belarusian designer, Constantin Bolimond. His idea is based around the concept of wine as the blood of grapes. The striking form is themed off a human heart to reference the fruit’s origin – France. The product is realized in black and white finishes, featuring a simple inverse typeface to communicate the wine’s label. The design brings a new meaning to the devil’s nectar.

Typography by Lo Siento

Spanish graphic design studio Lo Siento conceived the cover for japan’s +81 magazine, where the artist injects bubble wrap blisters with colored water to spell out the issue’s subject ‘next creativity’. The work is amongst a diverse range of typographical explorations - moving beyond the traditional realm of 2D to design for various identities and projects. While further below, ’4D type’ is one concept that sees the idea of lettering to become viewable from all angles, or ‘empo’, which is an alphabet created as part of an identity for an osteopathy office informed by the human body. As for the album cover art for the band ‘pinker tones’, we can see the colorful use of more raised objects that create differ type designs and typographical explorations.

Movie Themed Posters Re-Invented (Again).

Minimal posters are very trendy, and Alejandro de Antonio has produced an excellent set of minimal movie posters in this vein. He has an uncanny ability to capture the essence of a popular movie and represent it via a simplistic, but elegant illustration. His designs showcase how strong the brand is behind the movies, as we instantly connect with the represented protagonists.

Why Running Is Like Graphic Design.

Being surrounded by graphic designers on a daily basis gives me a better perspective of just how unique a craft it is. But for the layman, learning about graphic design can be a little less easy. A video my assistant found seems to perfectly sum everything up. Thank you to Robertcrosscountry for putting his school project up online.

The Color Game.

Click here to test your skills.

Knowing your colors is something you probably stopped focusing on after pre-school. A vast majority of us see a color wheel and don’t think twice, but for a graphic designer, color can mean everything. The Color Game is actually more like a test, designed by Maria Munuera and Mark MacKay, and tests matching some colors arrangements in an allotted time. Click the pic to take a shot at it.

The McFancy.

A few hours ago, I put up some work from the Access Agency about the McMobile concept. I don’t know why everyone I received emails from about how amazing the concept was, BUT, I found some other interesting twists on the Mickey-D’s franchise by the Access Agency. The McFancy concept takes the fast food giant, and puts quite a regal spin on things. Check the method below.

TStout.com Posters.

The few different styles of movie posters, album covers, and most popular media seem to be a dime a dozen now a days, but graphic artist Tyler Stout is trying to change that. His unique, and multilayered designs, are far more than eye catching. When compared to the official designs of the projects he’s chosen to replicate, his graphic illustrations are above and beyond. This is only a small portion of his collection, but check out tstout.com for more.

And of course... My obvious favorite.

Talk Nerdy To Me.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, one of my (ignorant) cousins made a comment something to the effect of “All your friends are club promoters, strippers, and rappers“, which is beyond untrue. I spend quite a bit of time hanging out with people in other professions as well, (lawyers, psychotherapists, geologists, rocket scientists, and even a high school math teacher) so when I saw this collection dedicated to the bookworms, I knew I had to put it up. Illustrations for Nerds in Love is the title of this great poster project made by Nicole Martinez, a designer from Boston, MA. These are love illustrations for the geek in all of us, regardless of your profession. For some of these prints you need some chemistry knowledge but if you know the basics, you’ll understand these prints and I’m sure they’ll make you smile.

Drake ft. Lil Wayne – The Motto.

Click the pic to listen.

Drake’s sophomore album ‘Take Care’ has had quite a few leaks in the few days, one of which caught not only my attention, but the attention of one of my brothers. In an online rant one of my best friend mentioned Drake’s shout out to the Bay Area, and his “trying to adopt the Bay” when Drizzy stated “I’m in the buildin’ and I’m feelin’ myself. Rest in peace to Mac Dre, I’mma do it for the Bay”. Personally I don’t think a shout out or two can be chalked up to more than some girl Drake screwed asking him to shout out her home town of Oakland. However, I’m not originally from the Bay, so I may not see just how deeply Drake’s comment may have offended some. But weather your from the Bay Area or not, click the pic to take a listen to ‘The Motto’, and let me know what you think it and the song as a whole.

The 12 Paradoxes of Graphic Design.

Being around graphic designers all the time gives me a distinct appreciation for the craft, and constantly working with them always gives me an astute understanding of what exactly it is they do. Leaning more about design in general happens for me weather I like it or not sometimes, but these set of 12 posters by Tobias Bergdahl gave me a better grip on the mental mechanics of a successful graphic designer. After a lecture by designer Adrian Shaughnessy, Bergdahl created the posters with masterful style, check the method below.

A Real Life Photoshop Tool.

This is to all my graphic design, or photo students at art schools all around the world…. Don’t you wish sometimes you could use Photoshop tools in real life? Magic erase your room mate, use the liquify effect to make girls tits bigger, or turn the Gaussian Blur down to 0.0 pixels when you have a hang over in the morning. Well we’re a bit far off from things being that easy, but this new sensor pen is one of the closest things to the Color Sampler tool anyone’s come ever before. Check the method below.

The Number Of Letters. Simple Graphic Design.

Both my assistant and my best friend are typography experts, and that leads to certain things rubbing off on me. The love of intricate simplicity in relation to type is one of those things. The piece “Letters by the Number” effectively demonstrates how you can take a simple concept like the alphabet and turn it into a creative work on typography and graphic design. Check the method below.

Old School Japanese Graphic Design.

My close friends and I have always been amazed by the style and unique styles of different cultures, and Japanese design is no exception. In the 1920s and 1930s, Japan embraced new forms of graphic design as waves of social change swept across the nation. This collection of 20 posters, magazine covers and advertisements offer a glimpse at some of the prevailing tendencies in a society transformed by the growth of modern industry and technology. Although my boys and I have been inspired by the Japanese culture, its very true that the popularity of Western art and culture, and the emergence of leftist political thought played a giant role in influenced the direction of Japanese art. Check the method below.
