J.Hilburn Branding & Print Design for Custom luxury men’s clothier

J.Hilburn Custom luxury men’s clothier had a problem with their promotional material as it didn’t reflect an image of a luxury clothes manufacturing company. Dallas, Texas based agency Tractorbeam® took it upon themselves to solve this problem and they did a great job at it. They made a custom fit workbook/booklet with great photos of products and beautiful illustrations that fit in perfectly with the rest of the design. The booklet is held together by spiral binding that is hidden by covers until the booklet is opened, all in all, it’s a brilliantly made promotional material.

Nice print design Atelier Martino&Jaña

Twelve years ago, two creative people from Portugal, João Martino and Alejandra Jaña, came to the idea to start a design studio. When I found their Behance profile and saw their various projects I really wasn’t able to decide which one was the most interesting or beautiful so I’ll just suggest that you take a look at all of them at  http://www.behance.net/martinojanadesign. This time I’ll just single out a great collection of brochures for the monthly events schedule in Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães. These 135 x 210 mm brochures are packed with great photos and a complex and interesting typography. This campaign also included promotional folders that came with not only descriptions of events but also with a poster inside that was unique for each event. A great idea and great use of space. Enjoy!

Anatalis Calendar 2012 – A new format in graphic design – “calenclock”

Hong Kong based design studio Blow was founded in 2010 by Ken Lo and mainly deals with various creative disciplines like branding, identities, packaging, environmental graphics, print, publications and website design, and what’s more important they excel at their job. I want to mention one of their projects, a calendar and a watch, a combination of items essential to every modern day man or woman. The author says that when he thought about the project he made a connection between 12 hours and twelve months which resulted in this new format that he dubbed “calenclock”. The whole concept is very interesting and comes in a simple black box with a bright green ribbon that completes the visual identity.

Accent typeface – extremely stylish and sleek

Extremely stylish and sleek with unique widening at the joints and curves that make this typeface look a bit more technical. Accent is a highly modern typeface that could easily be used in a number of different applications, CD covers, magazines or posters. Really, the possibilities are endless with a typeface this interesting and well made. The images bellow show it in black and white, so you can be sure that it would also look great in color. It was made by Nelson Balaban, a young Brazilian designer and art director whose excellent work can be found on his Behance profile:  http://www.behance.net/nelsonbalaban.
