The Chicken is the Egg




Absolutely love this kind of simplistic illustration, it is also so clever and simple using basic icons. It reminds me of The Economist style ads.This is by Ogilvy and Mather, so nice. The debate between a 'glass being half full or half empty' and 'the chicken or the egg' will provide, constant and endless debate which reflects perfectly with the copy line- unlimited talk time.

Harvey Nichols



I really admire the simplicity of the branding for the Harvey Nichols Beauty Range by Farrow Design. I love the use of white with simple colour. Colour really inspires me, how colour can convey different emotions/ moods.

The work on the website has a very unique consistent style yet every brand has a different approach to the concept. The work is fairly simplistic which I really like.

Welcome Mat





Cleverest bit of typography I have seen, just love the quirkiness, and the font is also beautiful. Its been around a while now this design, after I first saw it on suckukbut design on something like a doormat is more important to my research now as I am looking at items to do with home and comfort for the Lloyds TSB Ambient Media Brief. I am wanting to produce things like doormats wallpaper and photoframes.

ABC 3d




This is such a beautifully and cleverly crafted book, the paper folding and technical parts are incredible, producing a letter by each turn of the page with moving elements, flip over pages and pull out folds. Created by Marion Bataille-Illustrator.

Type Environment



This won a typography award, in the Chip Shop awards. I love the execution of photographing type in the environment, ironically on library shelves.
