Branding Article

I've been reading articles refreshing my graphic design brain and came across this interesting one from Fatima Mekkaoui at sixrevisions.com. It's good to read something that is well written and doesn't bulk up the article with useless babble.

A few photos from my American travels





A huge elephant at San Diego zoo, the classiest watering hole in Tijuana, Mexico, the amazing ceiling at the Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, weird backlit skull sculpture in a restaurant in Las Vegas, a never-ending corridor in The Venetian, Las Vegas and a beautiful sunrise whilst flying over the Atlantic.

Morrisons Own-Brand Range

Morrisons recently redesigned their own-brand range of products. The company chosen to undertake the project was Coley Porter Bell, who also designed the Tesco Organic range.


With more people unable to afford dining out, it is important to make the dine-in ready meal/cook at home ranges to seem like something special and a treat. The bistro range does that, with black packaging and warm foody coloured accents.

According to Design Week, the Morrisons Value range will be next to have a facelift. I'm expecting great things!

Kohler Chocolate Packaging



Kohler chocolate packaging is very elegant and well designed. There is a classic feel, however still feels somewhat contemporary. The buyer is getting chocolate that is desirable, not only through taste but aesthetically also.

30 Corporate Design Typefaces

A magazine article with 30 typefaces suitable for corporate design. It's good to have a bit of background knowledge on the fonts and how, when and by whom they were designed. I'm sure this article will help me when I'm struggling to find a suitable typeface.
