Here on Cloud 9 we have a fondness for all thing great and good, turns out Boheem are pretty good guys (and gals). Established in 2004, Boheem practice their niceness from Sydney, Australia. Now I’m not sure about you but if I was exposed to Sydney’s annual sunshine quota I may be a little nicer too! Anyhoo I digress. At Boheem, the team specialise in designing for not-for-profit, aid and government organisations. Their focus is […]
It’s only mother flippin’ St Davids Day people, or heck, let’s keep it real, Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (you knows it), so it’s only fitting that we head over the Severn Bridge (after parting with £5.70 toll fee) to Wales for today’s treats. Cast your mind back to last October when we touched on the Cardiff Design Festival that showcases and recognises the best of Welsh design, well chief protagonists in the annual awards hail from […]
There are few agencies whose work we admire more than that of The Allotment, so when Creative Partner Michael Smith agreed to speak with us we were naturally thrilled, and immensely keen to hear what he had to say… Born in south Wales, Mike kick started his career with a student award from the International Society of Typographic Designers before heading to London. A career which to date has spanned over fifteen years and glittered […]
So you might have seen Jay Chapman on a few blogs around the interweb but I thought it was worth just another highlight. What I like about Jay’s work is the love of good quality photography and once you have that as your basis, simple design and true typography can shine. You might have come across Jay Chapman’s photography after he won the Travel section in the Monster Children Photo Album, or even a sneak […]
Everything are based right here in Auckland town. A small multi-talented team, their focus is strong and effective communication – similar to most – yet these guys do it in style. Their approach is characterised by highly crafted simplicity making for high visual impact. In true less is more style I shall say no more and let the work speak for itself! www.everythingdesign.co.nz
Makers of Things Assorted. Animation, embroidery, design & illustration. And sometimes all at the same time. Simple… right? To be honest it looks like these twins, Maricor and Maricar Manalo are just having crazy amounts of fun simply making awesome stuff! A twin-sized studio, MaricorMaricar create hand crafted illustrations using embroidery and paper cut outs. However, it’s their work with embroidery that caught my eye. The use of such vibrant colours and patterns creating beautiful typography […]
Coop is the studio of designer Paul Marcus Fuog based over in Melbourne. They state positivity and optimism as two of their studio’s key values… this I like, therefore their wares have qualified for Cloud 9 this week. Coop are influenced by a curiosity for contemporary culture. This refreshing approach has resulted in a number of visually and conceptually interesting pieces; ensuring their work remains current and intriguing without subscribing to visual trends. @co_oponline
