Inspired by StudioOutput™

Here are some examples of the brilliant work from StudioOutput™. I was introduced to these guys at the last #BLAB session and just had to shout out about them. Simply awesome work with a client list to die for, my new favourite agency, (sorry Magnetic North). Check out some of their work. To see some more visit Studio-output.com

The Studio
The Studio is a digital art store we've opened in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) – who you'll probably know better as Sony PlayStation.

It brings the work of some of the most coveted names in graphic and digital design to the PlayStationStore, with original artwork fully digitised to create a range of downloadable static and dynamic themes for PS3 and PSP. Themes are curated, managed and developed by Studio Output, offering a new platform for artists to showcase their work to the world – and an ever-changing array of fantastic artwork for the ever-growing PlayStation audience.

BBC 1Xtra Djs and Show Branding
As part of our ongoing relationship with BBC 1Xtra we've recently revised the whole look and feel for the station. Aiming to create something more confident, slick and simple, we've produced a stripped-back scheme which focuses on big, bold type and loud colours.

When the lovely people at Wax Jambu asked us to design a brand identity for their new bar, they knew the people of Islington were ready for a boutique venue with a difference.

#AsSeenBy: All Shall Be Well & Bas Huissen

.......................................................................................................................................
Here at selfmadeheroes we love to share the creative things we find. After spotting some great illustration work on Designinspiration.net,
I had the chance to find out a bit more about the Artist him self. An illustrator, a designer and guitarist in the Netherlands based instrumental indie band All Shall Be Well, Bas Huissen is a very talented individual. I really like his 2 colour, linea illustration style and the way he plays with imagery. The limited edition album artwork is available to buy and is a great piece of Cd packaing design, visit allshallbewell.bandcamp to download the album for free and buy the artwork. "I wanted the artwork to play the association game, so each page in the book juxtaposes 2 visual elements which do not have a clear relationship. It's always a photograph and illustration placed together in the opposing bands colours red and blue. The aim is to create images that will conjure up stories in your head." Said Bass.

moving brands™

One thing we love at selfmadeheroes is a strong brand identity and this is on of our all time favorites.

A robust and flexible identity for Moving Brands, an independent branding company with studios in London, Zurich, Tokyo and San Francisco.

The logo solution is a black and white geometric abstraction of the company initials, M and B. The flexible application of the marque alongside a palette of greys and an accent green provided a sophisticated visual language.

As a large organisation there is a huge amount of administration, particularly with the high turnover of moving image recording media. To solve this problem the onbody format stickers and slipcase inserts were bound into a series of 'cheque-books'. This reduced the potential for management chaos.

For the guidelines, the solution was to provide the end-user with a clear overview of the identity components. Identity manuals usually contain artwork examples at reduced size. They are often a minefield of grids, measurements and specifications. To avoid these issues we produced a 60"x40" format poster allowing us to reproduce specimens at actual size. Due to a lack of wall space (it's a precious commodity in design studios) we suspended the poster, rather than surface-mounting it. This allowed the utilization of both sides of the poster, giving maximum clarity and visual impact.

Bella Sky + Thomas Eriksson Architects

................................................................................................................................................................

I have worked on branding some prestigious buildings, but this is unbelievable. A great identity by the guys at Stockholm DesignLab.

Bella Sky is part of Comwell and is Scandinavia's largest hotel. It creates a distinct new profile on the Copenhagen skyline with the architecture of 3XN. The two leaning towers reach up to 76,5 meters.

SDL has created the new identity and signage system for the 814 room hotel. A unique typeface is made taking its inspiration from the architecture and is used throughout the design system; hotel rooms, amenities, menues, signage, merchandise and other supporting material.The identity for the five restaurants and Sky bar is designed to support TEA's interior of Bella Sky.

TEA, Thomas Eriksson Architects
