ABSOLUTE WHAT?




True to form with these "anti-adverts" against absolute vodka, Adbuster's have turned the advertising message around via parody and satire.

IMAGINATIVE SHOPPING LIST



came across this when I was looking on ilovetypography.com. Just thought it was quite a neat idea, nicely executed. Some really inspirational work on there if you like your typography!

TYPOGRAPHY ARTWORK

ALISON CARMICHAEL

I blogged about her earlier when I came across some of her work, I have just taken a look at her website and there is some truly fantastic stuff on there. If your not familiar with her name you will definitely recognise some of her work ranging from press ads, poster ads, idents, book covers and moving image. Heres a few pieces of Alison's work, but you should take a look at her website.



DORSET CEREALS

Some more packaging that caught my eye, like the new Jordans range this looks more simplistic and luxurious with the types and colours used. 

WORDS LOOK SO MUCH NICER WHEN THEY'RE HAND LETTERED


Typographer Alison Carmichael created these posters as self promotional items for her work which she sent out to different agencies to promote herself, in doing so got recognised winning several awards and working on some great ads. This work is great, especially  the first one because it takes the viewer a while to realise what the word is. She is obviously very talented and not afraid to take a risk to stand out!

NEW HOVIS AD

I loved this advert the first the I saw it! Similar to the original famous Hovis ads this advert features a young boy buying a loaf and clutching it under his arm whilst he runs home. As the boys runs, the scenes change so that he is running through 12 decades of British history. Filled with memories, a fantastic sense of history and heritage this ad brings Hovis bang-upto-date.Take a look....

THIS WATER


"Our drinks are simple. We source the best quality ingredients and blend them in the simplest way. No fuss."

I like the descriptions on this range of drinks which tell you exactly what is in it.....

This Water is made from;

  • spring water
  • half a pomegranate
  • 17 blackcurrants
  • sugar
  • 3 crushed lychees
  • a dash of lemon juice
Also the overall look of the bottle is fun and fresh.


"Recent work has involved rebranding Innocent's Juicy Water range – a product that owes more to water than fruit which consequently felt awkward under the innocent name. The new brand – This Water – focuses on the ubiquity and versatility of water, and features a hand-scribbled observation and image on each pack. Its fresh and charming personality clearly references Innocent but also has the strength and versatility to move forward as its very own brand."
