Mk12 - Stranger Than Fiction
MK12 was founded in 2000 by four friends (Timmy Fisher, Ben Radatz, Matt Frac tion, and Jed Carter) who met at the Kansas City Art Insti tute. They pre vi ously worked with Quan tum of Solace direc tor Marc Forster, design ing open ing credit titles for the movies Stranger Than Fic tion (2006) and The Kite Runner (2007). Their help was enlisted by visual effects pro ducer Leslie McMinn. Although they are still pretty new in the motion pic ture busi ness, their ground break ing open ing credit titles for Stranger Than Fic tion pro pelled them into the spot lights. The sequence is a fas ci nat ing blend of live action and ani mated typog ra phy and infor ma tion graph ics mor ph ing across the screen. News Gothic works won der fully well in this context.
MK12 - James Bond Entrance
The type treatment in the title sequence for Quan tum of Solace is very inter est ing. Seemingly random sequences of ver ti cal strokes and cir cles appear and are sub se quently com pleted to form words and names. MK12 custom designed the type face which looks like a clas sic Helvetica-like grotesque. The type, cre ated from scratch, was mod elled around the per fectly cir cu lar O’s, which were orig i nally meant to sym bol ize bullet casings. The ani ma tion style incor po rates the clas sic trav el ling dot from the barrel sequence, which pre cedes the open ing titles in almost all of the Bond films. Also, by util is ing the spo radic blink ing of basic shapes, the font ani mates in tandem with the stac catos of the main title score and pays homage to the open ing titles from Dr. No (1962) and its designer, Mau rice Binder.

Röyksopp - Remind me
Directed by the French motion graphics studio H5. It features a day in the life of a woman working in the London's Square Mile solely through infographics. Great Structure
Cardiff National Opera House
Saw this building on a recent trip to wales, at night the light behind the typeography creates a beautiful effect.
Cardiff Bay Opera House was a proposed centre for the performing arts in Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales, conceived in the 1990s as a crucial part of the Cardiff Bay redevelopment project. One aim was of the scheme was the creation of a new home for the Welsh National Opera company, which was then based in the New Theatre in Cardiff. The Wales Millennium Centre was built in its place and it opened in 2004.
The plan, supported by the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation, was to construct a permanent home for Welsh National Opera[1] on a site near the Inner Harbour, Cardiff Bay. An international design competition was held and was eventually won by the Iraq-born architect Zaha Hadid. The Hadid design was called the Crystal Necklace by some in the media.[2][3] However, the project failed to win financial support from the Millennium Commission, the body which distributed funds from the UK National Lottery.

New Brief
Last Monday we received our new brief, its a goo-den. Its designing a advertisement for the chocolate manufacture Tunnocks. These brief will involve a lot of research, the thing which makes this brief interesting is that this is quite a old fashioned company, maybe involving something with heritage would work well

12 Inches
Designed by War Design | Country: Australia
“Imagine being briefed to create striking packaging for a product named after the height of the bottle it’s packaged in. With only small print runs required, there was a real opportunity to have some fun. The solution was to design labels that were also 12″ long, printed onto packing tape using different colours to identify different variants. The labels wrap around the bottle creating a powerful and memorable branding device.”
Seriously this is one of the most distinctive packages i have seen in the last year i think i totally breaks the mould from the typical.

Fixa
Designed by BVD | Country: Sweden | Fonts used: Helvetica
“A clear strategy for the brand and the range, along with the naming of two new brands: Fixa and Func, tailored to the Nordic market. The Fixa brand comprised kitchen utensils and cleaning implements. Func comprised technical products. The result was two strong brands within one dynamic design system. The packaging design is attractive, clear and highly visible on the shelf.”

Got Milk
Designed by David Fung | Country: United States | Fonts used: Archer
“This was a personal experiment in form, function, and fun. The goal of this redesign was to use a standard milk carton as the canvas to create a clean, modern, and functional design yet still approachable for the average consumer.
