Sneak peek of a brochure for Adrian College. We interviewed Adrian College students, faculty and staff and immersed ourselves in the world of Adrian College. The spirit we discovered on-campus drove the direction of a series of promotional pieces for the College, speaking strongly to the limitless energy, enthusiasm and dedication possessed by each and every person at the College.
A Friend of Mine, an Australian graphic design company, continually produces low-key, under the radar projects with mind blowing originality, wit, and power.
This project, an identity and way-finding for a student exhibition is an example of their design superpowers.
With a desire to emphasize the hand-done process integral to the student exhibition, AFOM chose six silhouettes of hands in various stages of “process.” These silhouettes became frames for intricate and brilliantly hued dioramas depicting process.
Another A+ execution.
(PS: Seems like there’s something in the water down under … Aussie designers keep whipping out amazing work.)
Do you like graphic design?
Do you also like Chloe, Pucci, Prada, Yves St. Laurent, APC, Nina Ricci, and the like?
If you answered “Oui Oui!” to both questions, then you will love Petronio Associates as much as I do … the design agency standing behind all of the companies and brands I just listed (and more). The company was founded in 1994 by Ezra Petronio and Suzanne Koller. “Projects range from advertising, visual identity, fragrance bottle design and packaging, to overall brand creative direction.”
Sounds awesome to me …
A great write-up at Identity Designed from les Brits at Bibliothèque, on an identity for Flint, a barbershop. Implementation and process is great.
“Flint is a hair salon based in Norwich. The design solution expresses the Flint ideology of craftsmanship and modernity. Stone-age cutting tools made from Flint (a material found in abundance in the Norfolk area) illustrate this identity for the boutique hair-salon.
The name Flint came from the material and its use in the local area. For instance the church opposite the salon uses Flint on the exterior walls — using that as a starting point we connected the use of Flint as a stone age cutting tool and the use of scissors as the hairdressers cutting tool.
The visual language uses devices found in museums dedicated to the display of local artifacts such as vitrines, measuring scales, and captions.” - ID
