Tunnelblick Music identity, packaging by HelloMe.
The visual identity for HipHop musician Exzem is based around the custom made display typeface HM Extra. The typeface is combined with metaphoric imagery that on one hand refers to backpack-HipHop clichés and the anonymity of coming from the countryside.
It is the story of a lone wolf from the countryside who collects sticks to make pencils of them so he can write rhymes.

Fantastic packaging and branding solutions for Altia by F33Grupo! I hold dear using black on white for a clean, minimalist modern feel. Less is more in the sense that all the negative space gives added perceived value to objects.
And what about the iconographic that are like two hands holding it. Brilliant. Luv the double sided poster with outlined products.
Good design!

Oscar & Ewan is a design studio based in East London. their work is a blend of graphic design, creative direction and idea generation for projects both large and small, from music packaging to complete brand identities.
Check out the Roots Manuva – Slime & Reason / Singles cover designs. What an idea to have cast of artist made with hollow head space to be filled with objects that infer album titling.
Original thinking and attention to detail indeed.

Implicitly recognizable character design based on the product itself adds up for a packaging extraordinaire result. Earbudeez (Audiovox) by Fean Kojima and Jerome Calleja.

Cracking up for these toys designed by SML (Sticky Monster Lab). There is such vulnerability perceived, bit weird (well aren’t we all some days) and still lovable.
SML have created such a brand experience around these. The packaging and accompanying posters are gorgeous (as well the mini accessories)! Oh and their logo (play on word for Small Medium Large)?

Big ideas don’t happen behind closed doors. That’s why they keep their work space and their work style open. For the last 25 years, they’ve applied this informal collaboration to branding.
Hats off to Square One Design and to many more years!
