NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & SEVENTEEN.
October12
I came across the work of Mind Design via this identity work they completed for London based modeling agency TESS, who represent well established names such as Naomi Campbell and Erin O’Connor. Logos with varied incarnations are so on trend right now, but this is one of the better examples I’ve seen - I particularly like the fact that the logos are created using art deco framing elements, which are then carried right across the portfolios of the models. To me, it’s an intelligent and well thought out application of a current trend.
Mind have a really nice body of other projects too, worth checking out.
NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & TWELVE.

I’ve just ordered my copy of This Year I Will Try Not To, a limited edition 28 page zine, printed in black on newsprint stock.
A joint effort of Elliott Scott and Christopher Doyle’s, the 405 x 295mm booklet is a tongue in check investigation of recent design trends and the ease with which we creatives are seduced into appropriating said ideas.
A limited run of 1000 copies, each hand numbered, are being sold, so get in quick for yours!

UPDATE OCTOBER 12
Received my copy in the mail yesterday (no. 117/1000). It’s very cool, and sitting happily on our studio’s coffee table encouraging perusal. At ten bucks a pop, can I encourage my readers to support local design initiated projects and get themselves a copy!
