Passage in Paris Exhibition

I found this exhibition board design September's issue of Communication Arts.

The designers are Samia Jacinatho/Gustavo Piqueir, Casa Rex and the client is Sao Paulo Museum of Art

Basically, the exhibition showcase paintings were by the "artists who lived, worked or simply passed by the city during its 'golden' artistic period in the nineteenth century. " What was interesting of the design is that fragments of the paintings displayed were combined together withe the letters of word 'Paris', just like a collage,  which gave the design a very modern feel. When I first saw it, I really wanted to take a look at that exhibition.

Inspirational design-"tide to go" and "band-aid"

I found these two interesting images on CMYK 47's volume.

 This one is an advertisement for Tide. It was created by  Hez Kim Jang Cho. I like the intelligence of the design. It gives me the feeling of freshness the time I saw it. And the little laundry machine is really smart design which could represent those little pack of detergents of Tide's. The slogan on the top right corner was smart as well.  

These band-aid combinations were created by Daniela Ponce, who is the art director and copywriter of the Art Institute of California. I enjoy it because Ponce tried to use band-aids to mimic those painful emotions when people have to use a band-aid. It was a simple design, but powerful and interesting to look at.

Tabitha Webb Women's Fashion Brand (logo and packaging design) by Aesop

      This were created by Aesop Agency for the Tabitha Webb Women's Fashion Brand. I found it on the Computer Arts, Issue #231, September 2014.
      Aesop created a series of things, including logo, and packaging.
      Aesop created this black and pink logo that are joins the T and W of band founder Webb's name. " Aesop describes as iconic and bold-classic with a modern twist, aiming to create a look that echoes the designs in the clothing range and works across all applications."
      This is the packaging design. And Aesop describes that the design aims to take the customer on a journey of discovery


      These are objects the combination of the package design. There is the pink envelop, the swing tag  with the words Tabitha Webb, with Love. 
      I enjoy looking at these design just like Aesop describes that it combines the classic feeling and modern style together. Well, it still works very elegantly right. 
      Aesop is a brand design agency. Their slogan is "every brand has a story." So basically, they will tell brand stories through brand identities, advertising, campaign, pack designs, etc. If you want to know about more about Aesop design agency. The link is below.

Sue Tallon


These two pictures are from Sue Tallon, a photographer famous for her food shots. I found these two pictures on the communication arts design annual, volumn 54. Tallon's food shots didn't immediately draw my attention, but these pencils did. I like how she made objects full of energy and "personalities." She also "pushes color, deepens dark and brightens bright to bring out her subject's dimensional qualities." She is definitely a great photographer that designers can find inspirations. 

If you are interested in more of her work, you can check out  her personal website I linked below.
