Our Inkblot Ads.

Here are some photographs we thought we’d share of one rainy afternoon when we decided to get the paints out and create some custom ink blots and splatters. Our main motivation was to create Rorschach inkblot imagery that we could use in our press advertising.

typeface

Making a typeface.

Well it has been at least eight years since I last made a typeface, but here is a sneak peak at the typeface that Leah and I are working on. I like to think of it as a grid-based modular humanist typeface, but I am not sure if that is even possible. ;) Anyway, let us know what you think. I reckon my favourite is the lightest weight. Though it is still very early days so we shall see how we go.

Inspired Needleworks

Here is a sneak peak at some work we are currently doing for Inspired Needleworks – the whole project includes visual identity development, packaging design, design and layout of booklets and brochures, and a website/online storefront. Here is a taste showing the logo we have developed for the brand along with an example of how the logo is adapted to various ranges of products, this one being Jane Austen Inspired Needleworks. We are about to sign off on the packaging designs so hopefully we will have some samples of them up here soon.
