A really good project by Amanda Bradley found on behance, its actually a very simple design but its so precisely  laid out it has a very classy feel to it. I wonder how long it took to design because in a way its very simple, I would love to be able to just knock out stuff like this!

Bottle design

I got a bit bogged down in my Glava brief so I went to look again at some existing designs. I originally looked at spirit and mixer bottles but the best design by far is for wine bottles and in some ways are far more relevant to my brief. Wine bottles are often aimed at the same consumers I am aiming at (25-35 social and with cash to spare). The bottles also have a classy but often experimental look to them that I want to capture, spirit based drinks look cheap and trashy by comparison.

As you can see I am drawn to the more typographical designs with bold simple graphics, and it is this last one that intrigues me the most as I was experimenting with an idea like this yesterday but it came to nothing, I will have another go because it can clearly be made to work.

And While i'm browsing behance..

...this is a bit good isnt it? A font based on mathematics, free to download as well.

New C4 stings

A nice refresh and very relevant to what I am trying to do for my GoTv brief. I like the way the 3D style motion reviles both the station logo and programming information quickly, but unhurried in feel. A very polished piece of work. Made by http://www.ruddstudio.com/ I will post up more of there work soon because there is quite a lot of quality motion graphic stuff they are making.

Daniel Hernandez type design

I cant fint too much about this guy exept that he is from Chile and is making some interesting desplay typography. The style is very much over the top and exaggerated but all his faces have great detailing and and up to date edge that would make them very usable in design for club flyers, posters or t-shirts etc.

This is Hernandez bold, a very bold and flamboyant slab serif that is designed with many variations for each letter, there is 6 lower case versions of 'a' for example!

This is Roxy, An even bolder slab face far more geometrical in feel. I have seen a few fonts like this in style this year, but this one just seems far more carefully crafted. Its CAPS only unfortunately but for a font so bold, its amazingly still legible in quite small sizes, I think this is because each letter has a well thought out distinct shape. Again it has a great vibrant feel to it.

A few other nice ones as well on behance, all with an element of fun to them
