Alzheimer Nederland
Studio Dumbar
Rob Duncan:

Simple, effective typographic solution for a complicated condition.The vanishing typography visualizes the effects of dementia, while some patients and carers see them as a source of light and hope.

Springs’ Smokery
Distil Studio
Jamie Ellul:

Springs’ Smokery nestles in the South Downs in Sussex. For three generations, they have used nothing but traditional dry-salting and logs of Sussex oak to produce their prime smoked salmon.

Using the charcoal from their brick kilns, Distil Studio have drawn a series of expressive marks and textures born from the very heart of their process. Such a creative yet simple solution, right down to the nod to the wood chunks in the apostrophe.

Wired Magazine Typographic Illustration
Sawdust
Jamie Ellul:

This typographic illustration for Wired magazine really brings the quote to life perfectly. This would communicate even if you couldn’t read. A perfect example of words and image working seamlessly together.

Hunted Ad Campaign
4Creative with Bold and Bold
Jamie Ellul:

Designed to promote the Channel 4 series Hunted – “a dramatic exploration of 21st Century tracking in Britain”. This ad campaign captures the feeling of paranoia evident in the series, whilst making the most of the placement of each ad in its environment. Typography is given a naive and rushed photocopied vibe which further adds to the feeling of tension and supports the unnerving messages. Maximum standout for minimum budget.

Mothercare
NB Studio
John Dowling:

When you take a brand, established in the 1960s, suffering from both fatigue and increased competition and add design heavyweights like NB Studio, Michael Wolff and Ivan Chermayeff (amongst others) into the mix, this is what you get.

Nike NYC
Triboro
Jeffrey Iacoboni:

New York City is a do-it-yourself place, therefore a Nike promotion for the city had to fit that aesthetic. Hidden within the Nike logotype is unforgettable lettering that marries the two entities.

Nitsa
Mucho
Rob Duncan:

‘Nitsa 94/96: el giro electrónico’, is a documentary reflecting the beginnings of the iconic night club Nitsa. The visual idea is based on the turning dance floor that the club used to have. In order to create 150 unique posters, Mucho invented a turning wooden surface that would allow them to turn the paper in a silkscreen machine, printing at a different angle each time. Each poster has a flourescent colour dot that refers to acid drugs as well as vinyl proportions.

The Graphic Lexicon
Studio Sutherl&
Jim Sutherland:

A celebration of the stories – fact and folklore – behind English words, symbols and punctuation. How words have been constructed, how syllables come together to create new meanings, and how the meanings themselves morph as the world moves on. The poster is simply the printed sheets from the book – overprinted with the title itself. Published by Sutherl&Bard – the book is available on the website.
