Recoil Selected Packaging
Design Un.titled
“Un.titled were approached by Alan Wilder in the Spring of 2009, tasked with designing a record sleeve for his latest LP ‘Selected’ a 25 year retrospective of his Recoil project. The initial brief was to design artwork for a standard single CD jewelcase and special edition two CD set, incorporating elements from his existing artwork but giving the album an identity all of its own. A year on and we had not only designed two CD editions but two special edition boxsets, an iPhone App, European tour posters and photography of his live set in Berlin.

BWG (Black Watch Global)

-
Mash Creative were comissioned by Black Watch Global – an intelligence and risk management consultancy to rebrand their existing identity.

Aim: Create an identity that summed up what BWG were about – a company with global expertise extending across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
-
Result: A unique, modern and flexible brand identity that will help establish BWG as a market leader. The re-brand also included stationery and a perfect bound 40-page set of brand guidelines.
-
Thought Process: The BWG marque consists of four chevrons which portray the four corners of the globe. All four chevrons point to the centre to symbolise how research, analysis, intelligence and communications all come together to meet mission critical objectives. The reverse of the stationery features a repeat pattern that stems from the logo marque mirrored on the front.

Album cover for New York musician F Stokes. The title of the album ‘The death of Handsome Bride’ led to the idea of creating the lead balloons. Made from plaster and graphite, the front of the sleeve shows the balloons seemingly floating in mid air whilst the reverse shows them smashed on the floor.

Here is some packaging By Freshthrills a design studio from New York.
very interesting Technique used where they have printed onto the wooden packaging rather than sticking a label onto it. The weathered works very well with the wooden box.
i love the box design but i feel the other products and the bottle itself don't work. the Motorman logo when on a label just looks a bit microsoft publisher word art.

"Created to support ongoing disaster relief efforts in Haiti, the Hemp 4 Haiti Project, is focused on providing sustainable, reusable goods and products to the victims of natural disasters. The exterior packaging is crafted from high-quality, hand braided hemp that can be easily unwoven after the non-perishable goods contained within have been consumed. Once unwoven, the hemp has numerous practical applications vital to relief efforts.  Fully reusable and sustainable, Hemp 4 Haiti eliminates the waste and environmental pollution that other disaster relief products leave behind."
