SKOR - identity

SKOR is the Dutch Foundation for Art in Public Space
Lava design agency 









Really interesting identity for a foundation for art in public space where the logo is set with a system of rotation so that it can take many forms on a page. Similar to the logo type for form and writing whereby it can be moved around the page and used differently depending on the format it is applied to. The colour scheme also varies massively however the logo holds it together visually.

Neubau - Type One

Neubau
Type One 
Research document 





Reserach publication put together by Neubau about the discipline of typography, within graphic design. Think the aesthetic of this being very much a rough and working document is nice, however I think it would also be nice to see a much more refined and finalised version.

Type Application






More printed matter by Neubau to showcase a font, and I think this does it much better than the print designed for Rietveld. The colours used here are really nice and the combination of black and white imagery and the strong colours from the cover work really well. The font takes prominence on the cover, again it is worth taking note from Neubau for Form and writing in terms of font specimens.

Typeface






Abstract font designed by Neubau for which they have produced this bold print. The font is very abstract, to the point where it's very difficult to read so I think this print is literally just an aesthetic piece, not really designed to make people see how well the font works. In this sense, it is not really modernist in style, however the geometric shapes used to make it up very much are, so there's a balance.

Identity and Publication









Promotional material for a new ice lolly designed as a collaboration between neubau and an artist. This involved the creation of all the promotional material and a publication showing off the new designs and the development of the identity. Really interesting thing to promote and photographs show off the product brilliantly.

Font Development 





Really interesting examples of print produced in order to promote a typeface designed by Neubau. Really like the mix of very subdued colour for some looking only at off white and black, to the much brighter colours of the others. Keeping them together with the use of bold typography and the designed font, aswell as format. Something to bear in mind for the form and writing type specimens.

Spin - Haunch Magazine

Spin
Haunch 
Magazine  





From what I gather this magazine has a really interesting half page cover, however this was the only image of the cover and it is not exactly clear. From this photo however it looks like they've developed a really nice logomark in a very simplistic style, applied to a bold colour. However the layouts are much more subdued and colour here comes in the form of page numbers and section titles on each page being printed in the yellow of the cover.

Yet another publication from Spin. This one for Kwadraat-bladen, making use of a bold colour palette, this time with a much simpler aesthetic throughout. Pages are less hectic and images seem to be placed to a much more rigid grid. Really like the cover imagery on this particular publication and I think the combination of the three colours for the cover works really nicely. These colours are then quite clearly used throughout the publication as background colours, which I think makes a nice link between cover and interior pages.

Spin - Print Magazine

Spin
Print Magazine 










Print magazine designed by Spin, which I think is really great despite being totally different from the design I normally go for. Some pages are very simple and don't have too many elements making up the spread, whereas others are really busy and have a lot of information overlapping and almost conflicting with each other. There are a lot of vibrant colours aswell as imagery, and a combination of the two, in half tone imagery. However in this magazine, I really like the 'frantic' nature of the pages and I think that despite this, the pages would still be understandable and read correctly.
