WALL DISPLAYS

Also from Bibliotheque.

Identity. Super Contemporary. Design Museum London.






Royal Academy Exhibition London.


YES. NO

Identity for the D & AD awards 2010 by London design agency Bibliotheque. 'yes' 'no' identity. The ident is based on the judging panel for the awards. The identity is primarily typographic however there is an exception of photographic portraits. Yes (positive white) No (negative black). I like the simplicity of this identity, it portrays a very clear and distinct message.

SLASHIE

I think this 'slash' idea could really work. We definitely need to work on the concept more and work out a specific pair/pairs of words but below is a selection of my suggestions. I feel these words very loosely relate to design/design studies, do we want it to be more specific? I think a bit of mystery and ambiguity would be fun, and give us that edge:

push/pull
show/tell
inhale/exhale
hunt/gather
this/that
here/there
then/now
come/go
depart/arrive
and/or
up/down
yours/mine

or perhaps the slash should involve the word 'design'?:

design/show
design/graduate
design/you
design/us
design/reveal

I like Design/Show because it can be read straight as a noun 'Design Show' or 'design' and 'show' as verbs.

I think using the graphic of the slash could be really strong, perhaps in a bold, hand-scrawled way like this:





In terms of a poster or invite design, the slash could literally take over the canvas like this:





We could use a variety of hand-scrawled slashes, using different people's handwriting, furthering the overall 'personal' aesthetic.

Other interesting grad shows...


This RMIT furniture design grad show one could definitely be done better, but I think its interesting to see other grad shows are going for a more of a handmade, human aesthetic.

OFF TOPIC BUT THIS IS COOL...

Hey,

Off topic from the identity but I found this - and will forget about it and lose the link unless posted immeadiately. It's the Mobile Museum and is being run at/in partnership with (?) the V&A...

Link is above but here are some pictures too...









p.s. the first picture is an animated gif but it doesn't seem to animate unless you click on it.
