Bakery and website

18 May 2011




Because i will be creating my own website design, i have been looking at some bakery designs. I like the structure of the website, its functional and elegant. It's a beautiful website that focuses on the type and illustrations being the main attraction of the website. Although im not sure about the cupcakes being illustrated i think i want mine to have images.

Bakery identity and branding

Really love the simplicity of this logo design. I know 
its using lobster which is very similar
to the style of type i want to use. But i really love the circular design
and the simple colours. the pastel colours really relate
to baking.

its such a good idea to transfer the designs across but still keeping
the same sort of style. Love the simple icons.


Like how the the design is transfered over in a simple way
but it functions well. love the vectored back to the business cards
and how the are simple but you can see everything.

I think the packaging is really elegant, which reflects the
brand perfectly.

Bakery identity

17 May 2011

I have been looking at bakery identities, just to see the styles that have already been out there, especially through type. Although I have been focusing on type for the banding i wanted to keep an eye on what has happened before.

I really love this design, i love packaging that is covered in type especially when it relates to the product it creates such an interesting pattern on the surface. I really loved the hand made type that relates to the product because its all hand made products, it works perfectly together.



Poster bakery

I really love these posters, i think they work so well because they have such an original way of displaying the food. I really like the layers and how it all works together. I am not so sure about the sayings at the bottom, i think they look a little disjointed and could maybe have done without putting them there.


Hanigans bakery - logo design



I think what i particularly like about this logo is the vibrant 
pink colour. Im not too sure about the whole colour scheme
i think its just a little bit too much. I like the style and the type face chosen
but it looks a little old fashioned? I think the illustrations really work though,
and i like the style. I also like the logos in a variety of colours, i think thats
works really well.

5 x functions and purpose

16 May 2011

I am really interested in retail graphics, especially innovative design. I think its always interesting when designers take normal packaging concepts and tweak them so they become a completely different visual experience. 

I really love this editorial and how the type creates such
an interesting header. I really love the complete contrast between the 
flamboyant type and the structured text.

The printing methods with this bag are amazing,
the embossed type and the thick black lines contrast
so elegantly.







The branding for this company is really amazing, it completely symbolises the
product. The type and images are appropriate to the design. They function as one
creating such an appropriate design solution. I love the mixture of print
techniques and style.





Logo and color

15 May 2011



I really love these logo designs because of the bright and vibrant colours combined with the thick slab serif fonts. they really stand out and grab you, i have noticed that a lot of logos are generally circular. I don't really like the huge triangles around the edge, but i can see why it adds, personally i think it would have been better without.

5x Audience context

13 May 2011

I think for me at the moment the art audience interests me, i would love to do some type design for the art industry to appreciate. However i do bare in mind commercial design, but at the moment i think i would focus it on retail and simple retail like poster designs t-shrits that sort of thing. When it comes to briefs i like doing things that i can contextualize commercially but i also like having fun with what i do, so would like to gear it towards a more culturally affluent audience.

Really love the editorial in this, think its so well
structured. It all fits together perfectly not bombaring with info



Really love the jazz magazine layouts, its really some amazing
use of excellent worked out structure, its all geometric with angels
and shapes. Love the layout! 




5 x type and vectors

10 May 2011

I am really interested in vectored type like this and how it begins to work as an image. I have no idea how to go about creating it but i think its going to be something i can develop next year. I just really love the fluidity it creates and how can still see the type through it making it legible. Its just a really simple image bit has so much going on making it really beautiful.




5 x Screen printing type and t-shirts

I am really interested in creating t-shirts and designs around type. I think it can create some really interesting items. I really love type on t-shirts especially high impact type so that it can sometimes become an image as well. I really want to produce work like this, like create some really cool t-shirts with sayings on etc. I think its such a good medium to work across. I would also get the opportunity to screen print, i love screen print because of its feeling of individuality and the homemade feel.

Love the contrast between what being said and the dainty
and crisp type. Big irony.


Really love slab serifs and how all this works
together, i think its funny and represents the wearer perfectly.

Avant garde... beautiful not much more to say really.
