When I last posted about The Jazz Meet I mentioned that the venture might becoming a weekly one – this has now happened and as such the look for the event has had to change accordingly. May and June’s flyers are shown below, along with the new reverse for the generic flyer which you may [...]
Wim Crouwel is quite simply one of the best designers on modern times and rightfully the Design Museum are going to celebrate his legacy with an exhibition from 30 March to 03 July. If you a fan of design you should go. Full details of the exhibition after the jump..
In December I posted about a new jazz venture that I had created the identity for and I mentioned how I hoped they were successful as I could see a whole range of possibilities for the posters and flyers. Well, thankfully the new year has started well for The Jazz Meet and there is even [...]
