Clear and Simple - Identity and Packaging

Making cool design with a fun and quirky function has proved harder than it sounds, although to be honest it sounds quite hard in the first place. "Hey Guys! Just come up with something that no one else in the whole world has thought of before, shouldn't be too hard right? Oh and by the way, you've only got three days..." 
Remind me why we do this again and actually enjoy it? Hurumph.
I stand to be corrected but this stuff makes a pretty good case for creative thinking and good ideas and being awesome. Also, its yellow and I quite like yellow actually.

This stuff was made by a little Polish Agency called Noeeko. 

Design is so fun, holy flipmonster.

Etam Cru - Aht Beyond the Canvass

 Last night I was just casually scrolling through the internet as one does and I came across the most amazing picture. Graffiti drawn on a wall of a beautiful lady in a jam jar. I am her now.
So, this morning I did a little snooping around the rest of the web and discovered the amazing artworks of the Etam Cru (Etam, Sainer and Bezt). Comprised of three amazing artists that comb the streets painting their whimsical characters and scenes among the dreary everyday houses, of what looks like Spain. heir work is vast and beautiful. You can see some of my favourites from the three artist below but you can check them out here and see for yourself.

 

mmm such pretty. so inspired.
I want these on mugs actually.

Sock Check - Kruella D'Enfer

I literally cannot get enough of her design work. I love the stark use of bold colours and patterns that seem hap-hazardly thrown together but with such ease you wouldn't even have suspected. It's fun and exciting and makes me wanna dance in the rain whilst wearing protective rain boots that are most likely going to be made out of plastic but just as brightly coloured and fantastic as this. I feel like whenever I describe things it always digresses into a bit of a ramble but hey, Just live your life (eh eh eh eh eheh)

Don't under estimate Rhianna - She means business.

This is some of ( and I really mean some, because there is a load of amazing stuff in her portfolio) of Kruella D'Enfer, a Portuguese designer and artiste'. Please enjoy and check out her other cool stuff here

I love love love her illustration style and cool techniques and also those pens that make glass way more interesting:

Maybe Ill save her poster stuff for another post. Ha!

Half the Pipe - Creative Thinking

The truth is I can only ever wish to design stuff this cool and this interesting. I hope I'll be as cool as this one day, hawt dayme.

This is Half the Pipes amazingly quirky business cards to promote their little studio. the business cards are like a domino game where you match up the different sides of the cards. How fun! They use their business cards to promote their new and exciting way of doing business.That's why they have made the list of awesome things and had enough coolitude to grace the pages of this here blog - That probably no one reads, which is kind of unfortunate, but let us not dwell, friends. 

I give you Half the Pipe and their cool cards:

Yup a doodle.
