This fridays post is highlighting the awesome work by Dustin K. Friesen – He decided to create these business cards with the key vision being his well designed personal logo. The most amazing thing about these business cards , is the fact that they are all one hundred percent hand made, that in itself is a great accomplishment.
“The process for producing these cards was quite an involving one. Having the design, but being limited by budget, I pursued every alternative to my initial overly expensive plans I could think of. I purchased the #110 Crane’s paper, printed each side digitally through a local University Press, adhesed the two separate sides of the card together myself (resulting in 220#DTC) and endeavored to do all of the die-cutting by hand with a rottary paper cutter. In the end it took about 1 hour of personal labor for everything per 50 printed cards – I even had a little help from my friends. Considering my final cost was just under $50, this was well worth it, and at times it was even enjoyable.”

Actelion Imagery Wizard is a tool developed for the rebranding of Actelion Pharmaceuticals a biopharmaceutical company that researches, develops and markets medicines for diseases that still lack adequate treatments.

This simplistic yet powerful identity by Rene Bieder & Johannes Schacht for Berlin photographer, Sebastian Burgold takes on a dual role: Strong by itself in print, yet understated enough to compliment Burgold’s bold photography. Also note the use of the logo mark as a design element.
As Bieder explains on the Behance gallery: “[Sebastian Burgold’s] work is very inspiring to me and so I suggested to him to create an identity that is also quiet and not so much focused on the person behind the camera but the images he creates.”

This award-winning website is the new experiment of Marco Rosella.
He has been collecting hundreds of motion graphics masterpieces or vintage unforgettable footage in the last years and now was able to create this site to showcase them.
It’s a HTML5 video collection powered by SVG masks and animations which pulls data from youtube and vimeo “liked” videos.
Very interesting idea!

Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20’s and 30’s that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics and have an appreciation for art and indie music. All these things seem to be a real big craze at the moment , which is why i decided to post Taylor Pemberton’s Cavalier branding. In his own words: “Cavalier was born in 2010 as the product of opportunity and a long-standing desire to revive the values of these touchstone years. Cavalier exists as a platform focused on lifestyle, and on quality goods with vintage American honesty and character. We believe it’s important to create products on a limited basis, and to never compromise quality for volume.”

“The fast-food king sought to universally expand its appeal across various international markets by minimizing the use of copy and adding more emphasis to their products. The result was a bold, illustrative approach at showcasing some of their more popular menu items.”
Very cool and appetizing! A rather rare combination.

Method, one of the top innovators in premium, eco-conscious household and personal care products in the U.S., recently unveiled its latest innovation in sustainable packaging – a bottle made out of plastic that washed up on beaches from the North Pacific Gyre.
The poster with the eye-catching visual invites volunteers and organizations to help collecting usable plastic from the marine litters on the Hawaiian coast.
With this initiative Method plans on collecting enough usable ocean plastic to create a significant supply and turning it into the first commercially available Ocean Plastic bottles.
Above all “the ultimate goal is to raise awareness that the real solution to plastic pollution lies in reusing and recycling the plastic that’s already on the planet”, said Adam Lowry, Method co-founder and chief greenskeeper.
A very good project with a nice visual!

On first sight ones first thought is: What is this all about? Which is exactly what MANIFEST wanted to capture with their rebranding which was executed by Eight Hour Day.
“Mystery and intrigue surround the rebranding of the Chicago-based digital agency Manifest. The rebrand was based around a conceptual exploration of time and both historical and cultural references beyond the digital age, with a focus on human experiences, connections and creativity.
Along with the typical brand deliverables of stationery and a website, the redesign also explored the line between internal culture and external appearances with the creation of a 40-character glyph language. Also included was the development of an ever-evolving timestamp and supplemental “chapter” marks, each of which represent an area of discipline or a core value.”
A deep concept for a really cool digital agency. With a stong focus on symbolism and typography.

Capital Kitchen, a homewares and food concept store in Australia’s largest shopping centre, Chadstone, has a unique blend of rustic imagery and up-market ambiance.
The corporate identity, created by Melbourne-based Cornwell, uses bold, nostalgic images such as a milk bottle, egg cups and preserve jars to evoke images of a time when things were slower. Together with the interior by Mim Design, this becomes a modern farmhouse – a stylish yet relaxing break from the chaos of city-life.

To celebrate another fantastic Friday were showing you some crazy awesome “business cards” by Joshua M. Smith AKA Hyrdo74. Joshua is an Illustrator / Type designer with a very graphical edge very much like tattoo design. Below is his take on his business cards, enjoy and Happy Friday everyone!
“I always get really bored with the standard business card. To me it is one of those things that get lost in the shuffle and from various events, they are either in a large box or scattered all over my desk. This time, I want to do something different and something that will make a good impact to the client. I don’t want my card to get shuffled to t he bottom of the pile, but to stay firm on their desk as a reminder that maybe, just maybe, the next project could be mine. Joking of course, but still, just wanted something to stand myself apart from everyone lese doing what I’m doing.
So this is my new business card. I’m planning on running different designs for each season and making it where it’s something that friends and clients get excited about. Hope you dig it!”
