Design | Origin Coffee Roasters

Origin Coffee Roasters are a small, independent and innovative company from Cornwall with a purpose beyond profit. They are a tight knit group of highly experienced and passionate coffee people that strive to raise coffee standards throughout the UK. Crafting distinctive espresso blends is at the forefront of what they do, but behind the scenes they work hard to make sure every bean that they roast promotes social, environmental and economic responsibility.

Origin have recently moved all roasting to their headquarters in Cornwall, as well as organic fair trade coffee they produce their own 'Seasonal Collection' which rotates the beans making sure that only the best of what's in season makes it into the bag. Origin's 'Farmer 30' coffees go one step further than fair trade by ensuring that the individual workers on selected farms benefit from the export of the beans.

UK based studio A-Side has carried and developed the company identity through all manner of products and print spanning a five year period – during which time the company has enjoyed unprecedented success, growing from 4 to 15 employees, supplying a number of leading restaurants and celebrity chefs, and becoming an iconic local brand that is synonymous with Cornish café culture.

 

 

Design | Draw In Light

London based studio We Are Useful was approached by Draw In Light to create the branding for their new womenswear label. "We created an identity based around the idea of light and crystals that ran from the logo to the imagery for the AW/10 collection. We art directed, photographed, retouched, designed and produced a look book which incorporated an exclusive numbered screen printed poster. We also designed and created the website."

Design | Max Chocolatier

This project comes from Denmark based Muggie Ramadani, an interdisciplinary design studio, specialized in creating intelligent solutions for analog and digital media.

Of the project they say, "The process involved in creating the confectionery is unique, and the result will exceed anything you have ever tasted: at Max you will be savouring some of the best chocolate in the world. Max Chocolatier offers a feast for all the senses. Your nose experiences the scent of truly great chocolate as you approach the shop. There, you can witness the care with which the staff create the products. Opening the exquisite packaging adds to the anticipation. Then, as the chocolate touches your tongue, it’s as if you were tasting chocolate for the very first time."

Chocolate AND design! I'm in heaven. Be sure to check out all of Muggie Ramadani's sleek and beautiful work!

Design | Mad Brew Productions

Designer Adam Hill says, "I was approached to rebrand Mad Brew Productions, a live music events company. In the initial stages of briefing I was informed that the company would be looking at branching into other offerings: Media, consisting of photography and music videos as well as Interiors offering.

The client loved the aesthetic of a traveling Victorian salesman and the concept of one entity 'wearing many hats' was used to neatly package the three brands together."

Design | Booki.sh

From Melbourne based studio A Friend Of Mine:

"Booki.sh is a complete web-based platform for distributing, selling and reading ebooks. With the intent to make reading ebooks fun and approachable, Booki.sh takes away the technical barriers. The identity had to reflect this ease in a warm and welcoming manner. A quirky bespoke typeface based on a pair of spectacles was created, lending a playful approach which was flexible enough to work as a stand-alone mark and housed within a ribbon device. We took reference from classic literary production techniques such as gilded page edges on the side of books as a nod to the past and used bookmarks as promotional collateral, adding a whimsical sense of irony to the identity. Inventive Labs designed the online environment with illustrations by Lachlan Conn and Ben Sanders."

Design | cla-se: Sita Murt

The obsession with all things Spain is still going strong! I found this project by Barcelona based design studio cla-se on Design Work Life and was instantly sucked in. Hot pink hand written type... I love it! It's bright, bold, and modern.

The first Sita Murt popup store opened in Sitges for three months last summer. The aim was to create an identity that combined the concept of a popup store with Sita Murt’s corporate identity. The project shunned the standard graphics of the world of franchises and instead painted directly onto the walls using a hand-painted typeface in fluorescent ink. Hand-painted sketchbooks with sketches and different messages were also added.
