End of Work iPad Mini Covers

For the first prod­uct in a forth­com­ing line of “designer type” prod­ucts, Sydney, Australia-based stu­dio End of Work has pro­duced a series of iPad mini and note­book cov­ers. The typo­graphic design is cre­ated from a col­lage of dis­carded street sign graph­ics, printed on thick can­vas and bound into a self-seal pouch. They are not yet avail­able to the pub­lic, but I will be sure to let you know as soon as they can be purchased.

Andrew Lyons: Strong Packaging Illustrations

Andrew Lyons cre­ated these gor­geous illus­tra­tions for the pack­ag­ing for Strong, a new line of nutri­ent sup­ple­ments. The tex­tures and sub­tle color gra­da­tions in each piece are par­tic­u­larly beautiful.

Andrew was com­mis­sioned by Pearlfisher, who devel­oped the brand, to illus­trate a dif­fer­ent bird for each prod­uct, and each bird was cho­sen to specif­i­cally rep­re­sent the prod­uct attrib­utes. For exam­ple, an owl was illus­trated to rep­re­sent brain food, and a Puffin for Omega 3 oil. Get a closer look at the details right here.

The “Design Is” Newsprint

Chicago-based designer Buddy Boor recently sent over this excel­lent project with a great look and a great mes­sage, the “Design Is” newsprint, an edu­ca­tional news­pa­per for Chicago high school students:

Through the AIGA Chicago Mentor Program, a group of Chicago based design­ers and researchers col­lab­o­rated to design a newsprint to inspire and edu­cate Chicago high schools stu­dents about the power, poten­tial and pos­si­bil­i­ties of design. We designed a newsprint piece where we illus­trated and visu­al­ized 11 words that we felt best com­mu­ni­cated and exem­pli­fied the mean­ing of design. The “Design Is” newsprint was dis­trib­uted at the 2013 Chicago Design Youth Forum hosted by Project Osmosis.
