Glorious soup!

Whilst still working in my part time job, Thanks to doing a graphics degree I cant help but notice any nice pieces of packaging which come through my checkout, I noticed this packaging for Glorious soup a while ago and more recently they've produced this alphabet series which looks great!

Wall vinyls...my latest obsession


Purchased these little fellas from MAGMA in Manchester last year, there dotted around my room at the moment by my desk and on the skirting boards, thinking of maybe doing something like this on a wall?

New designers 2010, Buisness design centre, Islington, London.











Just got back on Friday from the 2010 new designers exhibition, where fresh graduates from institutions around the country get to showcase their work, and ultimately gain internships/employment. I have come back feeling really inspired by the wide range of product/interior/graphic/crafted design which was on show, it was great to see how other student interpreted competition briefs which I did, for me, the gigantic pop up book, bent fish bowl and wrap-around lamppost bike stole the show for me.

Cadburys flake advert.


I had to to a blog post on this because I keep seeing it on television and love it, its a new take on advertising chocolate, my dissertation focused on shifting perceptions from brand product to brand ethics, this is a perfect example of this as they are focusing on the female market to which the flake chocolate bar is aimed at by presenting the product in a high fashion shoot style way which is similar to a shoot Kate moss was in, this means an instant connection can be made by the consumer. It is a very clever way of marketing a product which we are now seeing more and more in advertising.
