Too Cool For School

July 9, 2013

When we were walking around Shibuya I came across this makeup shop called Too Cool For School, it sold all sorts of nicely designed and nicely packaged goodies and it had a cool name to boot.

I bought Too Cool For School lip balm because the tins that they came in made me so happy, severed dinosaur heads, what could be better than that?! I love the naive design stance they’ve taken, shaky drawings and type, complete with mistakes that have been scratched out. When I look back now I wish I had bought one of everything from this specific range called Dinoplatz. They had all sorts of goodies for the face and they all came in such rad packaging.

I have included a few Dinoplatz examples here, you can check out all their stuff by clicking on this link.

Father Coffee

June 17, 2013

I’m not sure if you are all aware of the fact that I have just opened up a new roastery in Braamfontein called Father with 3 of my friends, Barry, Nick and Chad. We have been planning this shop for the last few months and now it’s all ready and open and we’re so excited about it. It’s only 3 weeks old, but so far the feedback has been super good, which is really great.

Sweeeets.

June 13, 2013

In Japan we ate a lot of sweet things and I saw such cool stuff, some we tried, some we didn’t and some just looked way too pretty to shove into ones mouth, it felt like it would of been a sin to destroy them. I took some photos of the things I liked, hope you enjoy them…

Eyescream and Friends.

April 8, 2013

My friend Clint who loves making ice-cream and is damn good at it too, sent me a link for a product called Eyescream and Friends. I absolutely love this concept! I think it’s imaginative and sweet and is something I wish I had thought of.

The guys from a architecture and graphic studio called Marion + Merche had to redesign the visual branding and identity for a new Taiwanese shaved ice shop that had opened up in their hometown of Barcelona. The pair decided to instill each mountain of shaved ice with their very own personalities by adding edible sugar eyes to each serving. So genius. They then went on to design wooden boxes that houses the ice-cream and 2 toppings (friends) which you can add at your own leisure.

Craftsman and Crate

January 21, 2013

As you know my friend Nick and I have formed a small partnership together whereby we work on all sorts of things from branding to advertising to collateral design to interiors to plating people’s hair, if they feel that way inclined. Our whole mission is to work on cool projects that not only make the client happy (hopefully) but us too. Here is the 3rd project that we have just completed for a clever start-up company called Craftsman and Crate.

Other: Branding for Sergeant Pepper and interiors for Instant Grass (more photos of the whole office are on there way).

– Craftsman and Crate do corporate gifting right. As the brainchild of Alan Yates, an ex-corporate bored by the weak offering of existing gifting agencies, C & C creates a new range of gifts for hi-end corporates to choose from. Crates are delivered to clients filled with premium goods such as craft beers, cured meats, ceramics and other locally designed and locally produced goods. I worked with Angie Batis to create a visual identity for this startup. Images of crates and the website to be added soon.
