Articles

Dutch fashion brand Articles produces 2 seasonal fashion catalogues per year, Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. With the range split into smart and casual, 2 separate booklets were created using a unique concertina folded inner. Black and white photography was used for formal and colour for casual.

The booklets were assembled by hand and bound together with a semi-opaque band.

A small recipe book was created as a functional giveaway to promote the company. Photographs of the design team making different pasta recipes and stills of the fresh produce were combined with simple typography to make up this bespoke booklet.

Jaguar

Jaguar clothing required a bespoke fashion catalogue to promote their men’s spring collection. Taking cues from the vintage Jaguar convertibles, a combination of white ‘leather’, matt silver foiling and raw leather cord were used. Sleek black & white photography of vintage Jags and colour photography of the garments were used for the concertina-folded catalogue.

Midas Paints

A detailed product manual was designed to showcase the diverse range of products available under the Midas brand. For easy navigation, the range was divided into colour-coded categories eg. waterproofing etc. in green. A clean ypographic grid was applied in combination with graphic illustrations, and paint colour swatches. Mood photography of applicators were included to soften the overall look & feel.

Plascon Terracco

To launch a new range of paint products into a competitive market, Plascon required a product catalogue which clearly explained the uses and application techniques of each product. To break the starkness of the technical detail, mood
shots of applicators in the various stages of preparation and finishing were used.
