Twenty Years of Design by Famous VS

Think back to 1992, the world of graphic design was a very different place. For me it was more about making my mum birthday cards and pictures of our family to stick on the fridge. For the world, graphic communication was still dominated by print. The internet was in it’s infancy and smart phones were a mere daydream. Branding was king! The AGDA  (The Australian Graphic Design Association for the Brits) is the peak national organisation for professional […]

Generally, at any one moment in a day I’ll have a scribble pad on my desk, email pinging, phones ringing and twitter vociferating but occasionally, just occasionally, something cuts through the noise like a white light and it’ll make me stop to absorb. Sometimes they are large things that catch my attention, other times they come in smaller packages. The latter arrived today courtesy of Dowling Duncan who unveiled a delightful new identity for The Boutique Life, a new online community which seeks […]

SomeOne’s pretty polly

A week or so ago, whilst writing up a SomeOne new release, our rhetoric included the line ‘another week, another SomeOne launch‘. I said that in jest, at the time. But here we are, literally, another week and, yes, another big SomeOne launch (and it’s only Monday). So, come fly with SomeOne and behold, their latest endowment to the world – Stelios-backed low-cost African airline FastJet, who launch their maiden flights from east Africa at the […]

SomeOne Weve a good yarn

So, here we go again, namely another big launch sewn up from the trigger happy gun slingers at SomeOne. This time they’ve turned their hand to a spot of telecoms branding, what with it being all the rage this week. Enter Weve (exit the apostrophe autocorrect insists on slapping in). Weve is the big joint venture, bringing together the UK’s three big hitting mobile network operators, namely EE, Telefonica UK and Vodafone UK. It bills itself as […]

SomeOne pours another one

More great work from SomeOne, this time it’s 40% proof. You might be forgiven for thinking that in the last week DJ had become some sort of an unofficial media outlet for SomeOne… pause to think what that world might be like… but the truth is they’re just spitting out great stuff at the moment, like it’s going out of fashion. Five eclectic projects have vaulted out of the their door in a matter of days, […]
