Marc Machado-ELO Designs: City alum featured on dieline

Congratulations to recent alumni Marc Machado for creating a packaging design selected to be featured on dieline.com-perhaps the most well known packaging website. Way to go!


Colorful work from ELO Designs:
"The idea was to create a brand identity beyond the already existing names in the market today. The target audience is young businessmen 20-45. Using original Italian names, I created colorful, sophisticated labels that best represent the brand and reach the target audience. A clean simple font was added to unify the brand. Colorful bubbles and caps bring the right amount of color balance to the product."

Type Play

Graphic Design Student Sophie Lepinoy studies at the London College of Communication and plays surrealist games. This is fun and just goes to show you that if you create what you are passionate about it will speak with a clear voice.

Check out this new book on modern art movements and logo design

Please check out this article that examines modern art movements that inspired designers to create some great logos. The article from Smashing Magazine may surprise you as you will discover how historical forms, fonts, and colors can translate into contemporary design. The point of our design history class is to UNDERSTAND STYLE not memorize obscure dates and facts. When you begin to recognize style you will have a powerful palette of resources to apply to your own graphic work. This is jet fuel so please take a moment to get inspired. I look forward to getting this book.
