Just ordered The Big Book of Packaging: Contains over 200 Examples of Eco-Friendly Packaging - can’t wait to be inspired!

Intended as a comprehensive resource for designers, creative professionals, marketers, and retailers, “The Big Book Of Packaging” contains 384 pages of the most innovative packaging designs from around the world. With over 500 featured designs and profiles of twelve of the world’s leading designers, the book is a must-have resource for anyone interested in the future of packaging and design. In light of the recent lift in environmental consciousness, this volume of the “Big Book Series” will devote one third of its content to the increasingly important subject of green packaging-showing designers and retailers how to package their products creatively, responsibly, and at low cost, factors that will be reflected in the books own packaging/binding as well. “The Big Book Of Packaging” will appeal to designers, students, marketers, retailers, and aesthetes alike, providing a thorough look at what goes into building an effective package and how to think outside the box.

Further developments from the post it’s all about the music. Here is the final MT arms logo, all pending review.

Info: here I used the white space and keyline around the characters to suggest ‘empty/MT’ and the Phono Connector to make the connection to live music.

has been and gone so quickly… Tonight, I am sitting wondering where the time has gone, I have been organising my scattered files. I did manage to go out and take some photographs and even experiment with some illustration. So all in all quite a productive weekend.

I have a fond love of illustration, I love looking at it, but actually doing it is another matter! Of an evening, I think this is something which I’m going to focus on over the next couple of months. Who knows, I may even get at least one good piece in that time, God loves a trier!

Identity // Blog header

Below are 3 header designs for the classical guitar music blogspot, Chitarra e Dintorni.

Further Ink exploration ::

Having played with the different effects, colouring and rotation, these images were produced. To me they appear as scenes, the mustard being a reflection in a river of a flower bud, the other of an entrance to a forest.

Please feel free to leave your own interpretations.

To further post my Ink exploration ::
These illustrations/graphics were made purely through Ink explosions within a bowl of water, the only addition is the eyes and brightness, contrast manipulation.

The haziness adds to the images, creating a further fabrication of fantasy.
