archiebagnall: Part of my major project last year saw a teaming up with a set of illustrators and artists to redesign a series of film posters - with a leaning toward artistry over photoshop. They did the illustrations, and I worked the type. Black Swan by Nicky Pasterfield Prints are available here. See the rest of the posters here.

archiebagnall: It’s time to come back to Tumblr! So much has happened since my last post but here are a few Graphics related highlights of what’s been going on.  I graduated from University College Falmouth with a BA(Hons) in Graphic Design . I made myself a website and finaly updated my portfolio. I qualified to become a member of the ISTD - normal people think this means I’m ill. I finally sorted through some of my photographs.  I moved to Paris to work in an English church and work Freelance in graphic design. I’m massively ‘behind’ on the internet, but Feedly has been logging all I’ve been missing over the last few months and I’m about ready for a catchup. It’s incredibly exciting being out in Paris, and it’s certainly unlike anything I’ve done before. We’ll see where it goes – my French remains terrible… I am AVAILABLE for freelance Graphic Design work!

Designer Brandon Schaefer has a portfolio quite focused towards film poster design, this one in particular caught my eye from his set. An element of my final year project is taking a look at film posters and how can creating a design outside of the generic conventions play part in bettering the way people approach going to the cinema… This poster is spot on. I rarely reblog but kudos to Beth for the heads up. Who also rightly observes “Film posters should intrigue and entice”… Check out more of his work here. Also: Apologies for being so off-grid recently, work is full on and I’m behind on the internet… Thanks for all sticking with it.

Frank Chimero seems to be a fairly sought after chap in today’s world of design and commentary. This small past project seems to perfectly encapsulate why, focusing on 16 thoughts for creatives as they work in their craft. What works so well within Chimero’s work, is that he uses everything he encounters to inform his work. Just taking a look over his website shows this, giving focus toward all areas of interest, such as book, video and audio recommendation. See the rest of the 16 tips here along with the rest of the work. Read this great interview on Grain Edit about Chimero’s work and process. Watch this lecture about ‘The Shape of Design’, a lecture that is now also the starting point of a new book he is writing. Read more about his recommends etc here.

Designer Cody Hamilton worked in creating the branding identity of ‘Public School’, an is an Austin-based creative collective comprised of designers, photographers, and illustrators. The design is unashamedly preppy, and lends well towards the slightly niche and cliquey idea behind a collective. Neat but with character thanks to the rubber stamps. Check out more of the design here (scroll down). Check out the blog here.

Maria Fischer (Graphic Designer based in Munich) has this lovely book project as part of her portfolio. The book (‘Thoughts on Dreams’), presents a collection of psychological, literary, and scientific commentary on dreams and dream theories. The format of the book itself creates its own commentary on the structure of dreams, and presents the reader with a variety of coloured threads, which lead them through the book, and vary the narrative depending on which they choose to follow. Check out more information and pictures, here.

Poster for James Gunn’s upcoming film ‘Super’, which seems geared up to be a darker superhero comedy along the lines of last year’s Kick-Ass. It’s been on my radar for a while and it has a great poster to bring a bit more hype. Riann Wilson and Ellen Page star alongside Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon. /Film blog gave a review of the cut shown at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it looks like it’s going to be good fun. Read the review here, though note that the cut reviewed will be most probably different from the one coming out in theatres come release date. Poster designed by film poster studio Mojo.

Design Studio GrandPeople is becoming a constant encounter in my browser, and rightly so. A variety of projects which all enforce a great sense of identity and strengths in the areas of print and branding. Their website is a great example of presenting work well, making full use of screen size. I struggled with picking out a project, but pictured above is a record sleeve designed for Norwegian band The Alexandra Quartet. Read more about it as well as check out the rest of the work here.

Definitely a website geared more to lovers of aesthetics; review website Fixabook puts the saying ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ straight into disregard. The site focuses on reviewing editions of books purely by their design. This includes covers, spines, blurbs, layout. Secretly everyone wants a great looking bookshelf. Fixabook will give you some great recommendations. Check it out here.

Pearlfisher have created the new packaging designs for the Natural Confectionery Company sweets packaging. Simple presentation of the product but making great relation to the characters on the packaging as well as the function of the sweets I guess. See the rest of the series here.

Mash Creative were commissioned by Icon Magazine to rethink the brand identity for British Royal Mail, and have done an awesome job on it. Their approach was to look back at the genesis of the brand, and strip the current designs right back to reflect the original intent. Thankfully they didn’t just slap Helvetica next to the logo and instead created their own typeface and specific guidelines with using type and colour as well as their simplified logo designs. Read through more of the project here.
