It’s not been a bad old week for SomeOne… first, we had a sneaky peaky at a new brand for Tizen, not long after they regaled us with a tale of Beagle Street, that was all before they whipped out this puppy… The Halcyon (and just while you were catching your breath from that they gave us one last tickle with a few more Harris & Hoole bits and pieces. Nicely done). But back to Halcyon. […]

You may remember last month, when we had a chat with Hunt Studio & Process Journal founder Thomas Williams, he let slip about an upcoming project. Well, today it’s been unleashed. This latest shelf candy, MADE, focuses on inspirational people from around the world who create incredible things, including but not limited to, industrial design, architecture, fashion, interior design, photography and the culinary world. MADE gets inside the heads of those individuals to find out […]
Every now and then one of those projects pop up in the studio that become something a bit more than another item on the to-do list, they become a love affair. If I had to guess, I’d say one such a project reared it’s lovely little head in the studio of Believe in. The Exeter studio, cavaliers of meticulously fine brands, have just unveiled a new identity and stationery set for internationally acclaimed heavy metal logo […]
Maybe it’s because I’ve just returned from judging at an Advertising Awards or because I’ve just finished reading his brilliant book ‘Damn Good Advice’ but George Lois really is a bit of a legend, writes Martin Maher. Whilst not strictly just a designer (although he started out as one and he designed plenty of logos) George Lois could be seen as one of the most prolific and creative advertising communicators of the last half century, […]
New kids on the block and fresh out of uni, leaping feet first into the murky world of self employment, meet Leeds’ Passport, set up by pair Jonathan Finch and Rosalind Stoughton. New to the game, but definitely ones to look out for, the Passport studio primarily focus on design for print, brand, creative direction, identity, editorial, publication and promotion.

The guys at The Allotment have treated us to a second helping of work in a matter of weeks, this time hitting the spot with a lovely and inventive rebrand for UK-based international Charity The Donkey Sanctuary. The project began nearly 12 months ago and has culminated in a new identity and proposition based on the Charity’s core purpose, which is: ‘Care and devotion’ to mules and donkeys worldwide. The Charity touches more than 400,000 working […]
Following our previous Heroes feature on Henrik Kubel, this week we’re showcasing another young designer with a similar love of original, contemporary typographic-based design; Belgian graphic designer, publisher, conference organiser and teacher Sara De Bondt. I have to admit I only actually discovered Sara’s work last year and was playing catch-up for a while. Since then though I’ve become a big fan of her approach and the colourful, direct style of her work, writes Martin […]
