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 […]
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
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
Those Kiwis with a designers eye will have spotted these beauties in the supermarket; turns out the calligraphic gems were the work of Hook based down in Wanaka with help from Peter Gilderdale. The King Series wines were designed to celebrate an ancestral link to pirates operating out of Lundy Island in the 12th and 13th centuries. This is coupled with a pretty swift nod to the family’s rocky relationship with English royalty. It’s always […]
Jamie Hoyt-Vitale, a self confessed problem solver and all round top designer, showcases her wealth of experience on her portfolio site viixii. Working within the music business and now freelancing on her own, Jamie shows a real passion for type-driven design and printing techniques.
This week Cloud 9 has journeyed to an occasionally overlooked corner of Oz, Adelaide. And thank god we did because we have a new design crush, hello Parallex, I think you might be ‘the one’! As a designer myself it is creative ideas that drive me so when I stumbled across the work of Parallax I knew I’d unearthed a gem. Beautifully executed, intelligent yet relevant ideas based design. Now that’s what I’m talking about! […]
CODO are an agency that take their research and brand development very ‘hands on’. Engaging their clients and building excitement around the design process has lead to some lovely results, in particular their use of letterpress. Tw. @cododesign
