Context Books Printed

I'm really pleased with the way these books have turned out, the large format really works and relates to what I'm talking about and I like how the three books work together as a set.

Weiss-Heiten

Greati printed work here from German studio Weiss Heiten. I think that their choices of limited colour palettes and informed materials choices really create an instant sense of quality and impact in the work, some of the typographic treatments are also beautifully put together.

Thomas Groeger & Berni Valenta

Simple but beautiful book designed for Carhatt. The inner layouts use a text across a variety of different column widths which I think has been done in a very considered and effective way. The strongpoint for me is the front cover which features a beautiful emboss as well as black foil on lovely looking material.

Stockport Uni

At Stockport Uni this year graduates are putting together a movable exhibition which they are driving in a van to different agencies round Manchester, I think this is a great and innovative way of holding and end of year exhibition and the brandinf they have done for it is great, a particular highlight for me is this great custom printed tape which that are wrapping everything with.

Mr L'Agent

Beautiful typography and layout work from Mr L'Agent. I think that the monotoned images and some of the overlapping elements work really effectively together to create an artistic but still considered and functional aesthetic.

Jung & Wenig

Beautifully stylish and multi-formatted book/zine. The bright yellow paper really brings the print of the photographs to life and makes them really impactful whilst keeping the lofi feel that is so important to these kind of projects. I think that the typography on the front cover id beautifully considered,

James McCarthy

Lovely large scale book about space/science and black holes. I think some of the infographical elements have been a great success especially when the diagram is working with the type as one. It might have been nice to see what some controlled colour could have done in the project but I still think it looks really interesting and very executive in black and white.

Hey Ho

Great identity project. The logo is incredibly simple but has great impact and looks completely stylish, almost optical illusion-esque. What I really like is how they've kept the treatment of the logo as simple as possible across most applications but then allowed themselves space to experiment with other elements such as the layout of the large poster which I think looks great.

Happy Forsman & Bodensfors

Great branding and promotional work for another printing press. The logo type is very imperial and classic but the way is has been treated in the really bright colours gives quite a fun and retro feel. The hexagonal rather than cylindrical tubes are also a great idea which carries the brand beautifully across the packaging.

&Smith MTV

Beautifully bound book for MTV also by &Smith, the colour choices and layout are quite experimental and very of the moment which fits the target audience perfectly.

&Smith

Reallt strong work from &Smith for a coffee maker. The rawness of the cardboard really suits the context of real coffee beans aswell as fitting the colour, I can imagine going really well with some uncoated stock.

First Section of Contexts Book Mockup

Some of the spreads from a new mock up of my design contexts book, these are from the first section which is about design for print. I have decided to add breaker pages featuring some of the quotes I have found really fitting and I think these really help the flow of the book.
