RAY LEMON BAR


Christian Vögtlin LSDK 2011

SpectrumISM
This is a communication-concept created for the bar “Ray Lemon” in
Heilbronn. LSDK generates two constants in the design, the colour yellow in
combination with the grey of the visible exposed concrete and the fictional
character “Ray”, who appears in every dialogue and even establishes his
own friends, clique, which are easily recognized by wearing their lasered
marks. The invitation of the event “Menu in Gelb” is furnished with spices
that are used in the current menus, and the origami technique generates a
valuable and individual character.

VERTIGO
Anna Scagnellato, Luna Valentini & Elisa Vigorosi 2011

SpectrumISM
After the studies of characters in a novel, the designers were asked to
develop a brand identity and all visual elements in a line of products. After
a thorough analysis of "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the
"ideal" identity has been developed on an "interstellar Agency", which is
called Vertigo, offering "low cost" travels for tourists. Thinking of a graphic
style from the '40s, with its pastel colours, cheerful and reassuring tones,
the identity was defined in different visual codes: the logo, trade mark,
colour palette and the typography system. To give a warmer and more
intimate tone of the brand identity, soft watercolour paper was applied
throughout the applications.

ADEC-JAPAN
Noelia Lozano & Begoña Arancón 2011

SpectrumISM
The purpose of this project was to design and create an organization
brand for the dissemination and study of the Japanese culture in Andalucia
(Spain). In this case the brand concept was achieved by mixing the idea
of flamenco and the features of Japanese women. The other feature I took
care of when I designed it, was the colour. I selected the red because it is a
representative colour in both the Japanese and Andalusian culture.

All the stationery design focused on the comb in the logo, which is symbolic
for both cultures. It reminds people of the Japanese drawings. At the same
time, it is the design of a Spanish flamenco dancer’s comb.

the schedule of the festival as a system itself. With music in its centre and
satellite activities –art, photography, theatre, film, fashion, Luma would
integrate different disciplines to amuse and involve everyone.
The high-complexity graphic system of the project was developed
according to four levels. The first one would be the institutional voice, to
communicate the overall idea of the festival: billboards, signage, brochure,
schedule, posters, flyers, mailing, and merchandising. Vibrant and eye-

The event would take place in the Zoo, so lions, tigers and leopards turned

and would broaden possibilities of combinations between basically the
same elements as level one. On the contrary, level three, exhibitions,
incorporated different ways of speaking, enriching the system and taking off

The five industrial buildings built in the 80s were refurbished by applying
the ancient Chinese concept, the Five Elements, which represent five
different substances in five different colours which signify Gold, Water,
Wood, Fire and Earth.
The five buildings are not parallel to each other, and in order to enhance the
overall integrity of the industrial park, the designers used steel for the outer
contour of the linking buildings, forming a unique and strong momentum.

V W X Y Z

SpectrumISM
The East Bank has been too long forgotten by the city’s inhabitants and its
tourists, but is now being rediscovered and remodeled in different aspects.
This large macrocosm of riches needed to be assembled and promoted by
a single identity.
The graphical pre-study allowed the designer to combine the different
aspects of the project into a single visual language, which covers the
ecological, historical and touristic contexts.

STEP.01/ FIND A VISUAL LANGUAGE


A reference to the maritime context allowed me to define subtle shapes and
concepts.
STEP.02/ DETECT WHAT’S EVIDENT
There’s always a moment when the alchemy of meaning shows you the
logical path to follow.
STEP.03/ FILTER AND KEEP THE ESSENCE
The shape defines the structure; the structure defines the visual grid.
STEP.04/ DARE GOING BEYOND
Play with the unconscious, digest the details and create the visual universe.
Believe in those who see your work, titillate their imaginations, and awaken
to their poetic minds. Free the message by bending and breaking the rules.

In the POPHAM maritime code, these symbols mean “I am next to you”,


which is convenient since it’s exactly the message that Ostend’s East Bank
wants to send. These symbols are the basis for Oosteroever’s “identity
messages”. The logo integrates quite naturally into a larger graphical
context.

BOTANICAL BAKERY
David Brier DBD International, Ltd. 2011

SpectrumISM
Botanical Bakery is a high-end baker of shortbread cookies based out of
Napa Valley. DBD International, Ltd. rebranded its corporate identity and
packaging. The legacy of shortbread cookies as an English symbol comes
along with a conservative history. To break the mold of that stereotype, they
started with the brand itself, the Botanical Bakery. After some extensive
research, they developed the “smiling leaf lips” which contained the right
balance of distinction, whimsy and opportunity, since the lips would “speak”
the flavors on the line of the package.
The next other component was the product line and how to distinguish
it from other competitors on the shelves. The key components here
were colour and typography (versus using a photo of the product on the
package). Finally, they managed to incorporate hand-drawn lettering
of flavors to bring certain informality to a product with relatively formal
heritage.

The logo, inspired by beer labels, is a traditional design. Figured as a


central image, a brunette with all the innocent sexiness that a pin-up can
bring is surrounded by golden, red and black ellipses with beer glasses
and wheat which makes it a strong and iconic brand, together with an
identity that follows its references and origins in all aspects: the blue and
white tiles on the walls that are filled with retro posters, blackboards and
photographs, menu, table covers, waiter's uniforms, website, stationary
and communication reflect this visual richness and make them an

IL GAIO & IL SAFFICO - WINE & SEX


Michael Faggiani Seraph Consulting Group 2011

SensualISM
"Il Gaio" and "Il Saffico" are two labels created following the request of a
wine producer and exporter who wanted to brand in order to approach the
homosexual context creating something especially and just for them. The
original idea was to find the best way to be attractive but not offensive, but
still keeping it hilarious and real. The imagery used on the label has been
in first place sketched and then digitally drawn. Sexuality plays a big role
in this context, because sexuality is the background on which we mostly
sketch our lives before they become true. Some parts of the sketch may
not be allowed in the final outcome but they're not less important as they
can be a reason of choice. It is true that when you sell wine you sell its
quality, provenance taste, etc., but it is equally true that you sell to people
and they somehow like to find and recognize a bit of themselves in the
product. This kind of policy doesn't affect the quality of wine at all and
costumers are encouraged to consider the wine from another perspective:
wine not just as a product but as an experience to live, to feel yourself, free
from any constraint. The attention is not focused anymore on the identity
of the wine itself; it is drawn to the costumer, the buyer. The bottle of wine
must become a mirror, making the famous phrase "in vino veritas" (wine
makes you sincere) the absolute truth of the moment. The last important
detail about the two labels is that they are thought to create a contrast
between what is masculine and feminine and so do the shapes, especially
the external ones that merged with the masculine outline of the container,
giving to the bottle the feminine hips of a woman.

POINT G
Michel Valois Chez Valois 2011

SensualISM
Point G, a French word, means the G spot. It means a gourmet spot, the
rallying spot of all food! Because gastronomy mixes both pleasure and
sensuality, it can be shared, offered, discussed in flavors, colours, images
and words.

Chez Valois was mandated in 2011 to review the overall identity of the
Point G brand. The challenge of the mandate was both to express and
evoke the pleasure of gastronomy while depicting the enthusiasm, passion
and humor of the colourful chief proprietors of Point G, Thierry and Julien.
It was therefore necessary to fuse all the elements together and play with
subtlety, in keeping with the manner of these two chefs. The design had
to be sexy without using sex. The challenge was to create an intimacy,
an interaction with the consumer, in a way that makes the initiated smile
and charms even the most timid. The words appearing in fuchsia on the
packaging are those associated with gastronomy and good food. Both
catchy and intriguing, they surprise and titillate the imagination. The
mouth-watering images depict the freshness and finesse of the product.
The structural design of the boxes, in turn, provides the packaging
platform with its distinctive character, enhances the sensory experience
for the consumer, and allows for fun and engaging store displays.

ADAM AND EVE


Raewyn Brandon 2011

The concept was to create a law firm identity that pushed the
creative boundaries of branding and marketing with a slightly
controversial approach. Raewyn Brandon used traditional biblical
philosophies as a model in order to communicate Adam and Eve’s
values as an Intellectual Property Law Firm. Not only does the
name “Adam and Eve” set an obvious tone, but Raewyn created
the 10 “commandments” that the company prided themselves on.
These commandments/values influenced the design solutions, for
example, one value was “Adam and Eve is a friend to nature”, which
inspired the eco materials and stocks. The design direction led to
mixing old and traditional styles with modern techniques, such as
the scroll wax sealed invitation in a modern day mailing tube.

Ascender Design worked in collaboration with a team of visionaries


to bring the creative vision of the restaurant to life, including Jonathan
Barthelmess and Manly Pavilion, in partnership with Longrain’s Sam
Christie and architect George Livissianis. Their creative challenge
was to align classic beauty and rustic charm with an urban edge.
Their solution was to use modernist typography with a 1930’s echo,
playing off the architecture of the building. They tested the use of bold
fluorescent ink as a branding colour, printing silk screen on simple
box board. The menu needed to be both durable and updateable; the
solution was to brand a robust, heavy backing board combined with
in-house printed sheets, which were updated daily and fastened with
an industrial stationery clip. The Apollo has achieved high ratings in
the Sydney Morning Herald and Sydney Magazine.

parts move and fit continuously looking for creative solutions.

The brand was designed by using basic geometric shapes such as circle, triangle and square

This project was completed in Liam Yeoh’s final year of Graphic Communication and Typography (BA) at the

campaign.

The album title, “Pull Me Back To Earth” coupled with the band’s electronic and futuristic sound, were the main
starting points for brainstorming, and he began to develop imagery and visuals surrounding space, bright lights
and futuristic elements. The chevrons used within the design give an almost alienate and ethereal feel to the pieces,
while also creating a sense of urgency through their shape and positioning; they are evoking a downward motion,
and whilst they set against the space backdrop fully encapsulating the album’s title of being pulled back to Earth.
The design lends itself to a very futuristic visual landscape, and “other worldliness” aims to draw in the listener/
viewer and allows them to immerse themselves within the vibrant pandemonium of the band’s sound. The futuristic
visuals are dominant throughout the entire spectrum of the campaign, from the album cover itself to possible single
covers, tour posters and advertising promotion.

seasonal eating which is sustainable, and to minimise
packaging and cost.

A selection of simple sticker labels means that a wide range


of reused or recycled containers can be used, helping the
shop to be more eco friendly. The flexibility of the packaging
and labelling, and ability to easily amend the labels lowers
the costs spent on printing and design, leaving the most
money possible to be spent on the quality food products in
store.

Megan Young likes to work with handmade process, and


combined mono-printing, screen printing and letterpress
to create the aesthetic for this project. She feels that this
hands-on less refined approach is very well suited to the
aesthetic of the store and to their intentions.

The same philosophy applies to almost everything. They did the lamps

COLORO

The designer realized that there was so much unnecessary


packaging when one received a dozen roses. All the unnecessary
flower wrappers are wasted after few hours. There was a desperate
need for better packaging for a dozen roses. Different colours
of roses have different meanings, and the meanings of the roses
are often overlooked. This new brand with unique concept is to
highlight the meaning of the flower as well as the beauty of roses.

Coloro is an imaginary flower shop that only sells white roses.


Different colours of roses have different meanings, and they are
suitable for different occasions. Coloro sells white roses with natural
colour dye so that the customer can decide what colour of rose they
want. With these natural colour dyes, customers can even create
rare coloured roses like green and blue. From the conceptual
to actual prototyping, the designer wanted to keep the theme of
painting. The name of the brand “Coloro” means “to paint” in Latin.
Canvas was chosen as a packaging material, since customers are
dying the roses, which is very similar to painting. When the canvas
packaging is rolled, it can work as a vase as well.

The designer also wanted to create more interactive experience in


receiving roses. When you get roses from Coloro, your happiness

appeal to a high income Afrikaans speaking niche group.

The company is a small goat’s farm; the farmer knows the exact amount of goats on his farm
and the exact amount of ingredients that goes into each block of cheese. Hence, the unique
selling proposition: Mera Goat’s Milk Cheese offers better calculated flavour. Promise.

The design and copy resemble the same message with a handmade feel, using typography
of specific facts concerning the cheese that only a small-scale farmer would be able to tell.
Every cheese is connected to a goat, using the description of the cheese taste to characterize
a specific goat.

Cheve cheese represents The Softie; Gouda represents The Lady; and Chedder represents
