Packaging: Bread & Butter Pantry

Packaging design is always a delightful process to me, and all packaging projects have their own unique requirements and challenges. The challenge for this project was to come up with a cost effective packaging solution for the client's new range of on-the-shelf products, but still stay true to the traditional vintage personality of the brand, and establish a clear differentiation system between the various flavours. The focus fell on sensitive typography treatment and various colours for setting the flavours apart. View more design from Dialogue8 here.

Type Delight: Masterful Jordan Metcalf

Elegant. Sensitive. Precise. This is how we would summarise the tremendously wonderful typography work by Cape Town based designer, illustrator and artist Jordan Metcalf. Jordan was named the ADC Young Gun in 2013 (a competition celebrating the talents of young creative professionals under the age of 30), and holds an impressive portfolio of work completed for international clients and agencies. 

His work emphasises the aesthetic appeal that letterforms can have, and in many cases the typography is treated more like it’s an intricate illustration, rather than mere copy to convey information. 

Go to his website, his Instagram profile or his Behance portfolio to gawk at some more of his masterful work!

Ceramics Exhibition

Royale Eatery in Cape Town is hosting a marvelous exhibition curated by illustrator and ceramics artist Elise Wessels called “CHAMPAGNE for my real friends”. 27 artists were handed 2 handcrafted plates each, for them to decorate the plates with their own designs and concepts. Elise then collected the plates from them to glaze and fire them. Most of the artists have never worked with ceramics before, and the results are sometimes surprising, but above all astoundingly beautiful.

The exhibition is on until 11 January 2013, so do yourself a favor and drop in to see their handiwork.
