Luke Bott

I recently discovered Luke Bott‘s work thanks to FFFOUND! and really like this style of work. I found a few pieces that were along the same line. He has much more work on his site, but these three really caught my eye.

Meat & Bread

Diane Faye Zerr — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 15:15:08 +0000

I am a huge proponent of simple identities and the Meat & Bread identity by Glasfurd & Walker is just that. The strongly typographic identity allows the client to manage their look without a style guide (even though one could be provided), and uses simple components. Labels, Business cards, a rubber stamp – it can’t get much easier. But don’t think this seemingly simple solution comes without hard work. The simpler solution can be more difficult to come by in addition to selling this idea to the client. I think this solution knocks it out of the park!

The Nolitan

Some really nice work from Marque who developed a bright identity for The Nolitan, a luxury boutique hotel in Manhattan located “North of Little Italy” hence, the name Nolitan. I dig everything about it, especially that dark blue card with the red ink.

Abby Brewster

I am in love with the design of this stationery set by Abby Brewster for J.W. Hall Builders and the packaging and retail shop design for Bridge Street Fromagerie. Abby created these works attending Portfolio Center in Atlanta.

Pardon My French

Sussner Design Company just updated their website and I stumbled on their work for Pardon My French, a bakery in Eagan, Minnesota. Especially love that first image below.

Gabbani

Beautiful branding work for Gabbani by Switzerland-based creative studio Demian Conrad.

“Visually the references are from the flavour of the 30’s with a mix of various typographies and the use of the black&white optical art typical of the 60’s.” “The black and white approach makes the all range standing out from the colorful and flashy bags commonly used by the competitors.”

The Finishing School

Amazing craft and design by Sophie Williams for a stationery brand created using end-of-line sketchbooks as writing paper, and envelopes from the pages of donated books from the National History Museum.

‘The Finishing School’ was devised as my stationary brand with a conscious focus of reusing paper and other materials already in circulation.

I just found the work of Celeste Prevost and love every bit of it.

A Meaty Surprise

Kathleen of Twig & Thistle created a fun invitation with a meat theme for her husband’s surprise 30th birthday party. Using a faux bois stock and some crafty kraft paper, she made a set that would certainly leave a unique impression with it’s recipients. The link above is Part I, which means there’s more to come! Aren’t they great?!

Benign Objects

I’m really adoring the work of Rachel Wiles of Benign Objects. A graphic designer and a writer/editor for The Dieline, Rachel creates handmade wedding invitations and I’m envious at how she incorporates unusual materials into her pieces. Handkerchiefs? Gorgeous! I might be looking into some unique ones myself, so watch out!
