Maxime Quoilin is a Belgian Graphic Designer who put this branding/advertising project together as part of his final year project whilst studying at university. Although there are some elements of the branding that work better than others, I’m keen on the ad campaign he put together for ‘powerful water’. Quite what makes the water powerful I don’t know, but the sharks and speedboats sure make it seem so… Check out the rest of the project here.

Falmouth BA(Hons) Graphic Design Graduate: Tom Ambrose Perfume | Penguin design brief The cover was designed to play on the misleading title, presenting an obvious perfume bottle then revealing the sinister nature of the story.

Falmouth BA(Hons) Graphic Design Graduate: Dave Taylor Colman’s Mustard A self initiated project to repackage Colman’s English Mustard, in a fun, eccentric way, which embraced the quintessential English nature of the product. This was emphasised with the use of English slang that characterised the wide demographic of consumers who purchase Colman’s.

Falmouth BA(Hons) Graphic Design Graduate: Jon Molesworth Kleenex Kids With recent scares from viruses such as swine flu it is important to be hygienic whether child or adult. Children are actually among the most vulnerable and are capable of spreading viruses due to their contact with large groups of other children at school. These packs aim to engage children in a fun way and get them into a hygienic habit from an early age. The on pack illustration works with the dispensing strip making a fun way for children to use tissues.

Falmouth BA(Hons) Graphic Design Graduate: Rosie Skinner ‘The IKEA D&AD brief asked to ‘inspire boundless change in peoples’ homes’. This response exploits the association that IKEA has with flat pack furniture; here is a new flat pack boyfriend to reinvigorate your life. IVOR is a refreshing change, just as IKEA furniture is for your home, with the ease and speed of taking it home and assembling it yourself. As a range of posters, a new girlfriend as well as a new job are also available.’
