GORMAN
10 YEAR DIARY

Background

Description

We conceived and created a comprehensive book designed to educate customers on the merits of 'slow fashion' versus 'disposable pop fashion'. In a reaction against throw-away design the book was created to become more valuable over time and extends a lifespan of 20 years - reflecting 10 years to the past and projecting 10 years to the future. A photographic series was styled from product from 1999 - 2009 and this was combined with a 10 year diary projecting from 2009 - 2019.  Each image in the photographic series relays a sustainability theme particularly relevant to the fashion industry including conservation, carbon neutrality, repurpose, durability, dematerialisation and wear organic, to remind us of the simple steps we can take to reduce our impact.  

The concepts of longevity and protection informed a plaster-cast styled cover and binding. The end result is a useful keepsake and a modern collective of the brand that moves away from seasonality and instead makes a clear statement that Gorman fashion is enduring.

1:1 ARCHITECTS
IDENTITY

Background

Description

Aligning with the unique characteristics of the practice a layered corporate identity was developed consisting of a logotype, three-dimensional picture mark, series of brand images, typography, patterning, studio photography, written language and primary, secondary and accent colour palettes

Collaboration was interpreted through the picture mark. The three-dimensional mark was based on the geometric principals of the tesseract (a four-dimensional cube) where imagination and varying inputs create many possible angles. Unique in its three-dimensional form the picture mark references the process of architecture. Not complete until constructed, the mark was imagined, sketched, planned, rendered and built.

The brand images were integral to relaying the human scale concept. Banal environments were injected with life through the inclusion of the vibrant picture mark, making a statement on the way architecture can positively impact our surroundings through the consideration of human characteristics.

A secondary patterning system was created from the planned version of the brand mark allowing for a cohesive thread throughout.

Experimentation with printed formats resulted in perforated business cards and process-inspired binding techniques.

GREY AVIARY
IDENTITY

Background

Description

A corporate identity comprising of a brand image, typography and irregular printed formats.

Aligning with new directions in contemporary culture, where the ugly becomes beautiful and the disgarded is reused, eight compressed metal radiators were used to construct an abstract aviary form.The brand image was combined with origami folds and anonymous typography. High and low finishes were juxtaposed to create a contrasting aesthetic.
