Meaty Packaging | Chris Chapman

cmykbrad — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 11:27:03 +0000

Chris Chapman is a London-based designer has an inventive side to his creative thinking on this meat packaging.

Meaty Packaging is a packaging concept featuring a new way to package fresh meats. He suggests using a biodegradable material, and less of it than the current typical meat packaging. The graphics are friendly, lighthearted and quite playful – a nice alternative from what you might expect for meat.

Skylab created this work space for North, a group of designers, writers, creative directors, film and music makers. They asked specifically for an area that was not an office yet was still a workable atmosphere. This rediculously stylish area includes pine paneling, raw steel and a carpet tile murals.

The Chase | Design Visit

cmykbrad — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:06:53 +0000

For a recent university brief we had to organise and carry out a design consultancy visit. We chose to visit The Chase in their London studio.

Oliver Maltby gave us a presentation of their work and explained how and why they do what they do. It was a great insight to the working world of graphic design. A large of the work is print based and mostly idea orientated.

They have a great saying to describe their work philosophy:

“There was once an old Indian craftsman who carved elephants from blocks of timber. When asked how he did it he would reply, “I just cut away the wood that doesn’t look like and elephant”.

I think this a great way to look at working. To get down to the key points and show them clearly. The message is always key.

Designer of the Month | Feb 09 – Olly Moss

cmykbrad — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:21:33 +0000

A selection of work by one of my favourite print/screen/typography/t-shirt designers of the moment. This guy is always doing the rounds on design blogs.

A series of 8 posters in pure black and red. Love the textures on these. (links to flickr set)

A series of video game classics with similar grungy textures. I started to go off grunge style design but this is just enough. (Links to a flickr set)

Two illustrations featured in the New York Times. (L-R // Translation and Imaginary Kidnappings).

He can also be held accountable for some of the best selling t-shirts from Threadless.

I chose these final two pieces from his “Create something cool everyday” pool.
