Paper Pick-Ups #1

- - - - - - - - -

Design is everywhere and anywhere, thus I often find myself picking up a few paper goods when out and about. If the type, coloring, layout or simple illustration catches my eye, my hand will come along a whisk it away. Here are a few things that now reside in my humble paper pile.

1 - "Reserve & Collect" found in Waterstones

Browsing Waterstones is a common thing I find myself doing. It’s a shame the Leicester store doesn’t stock more art/design books, alas. Anyways! This lil’ A5 slip caught my eye due to the punchy hand rendered type which features as a key part of the flyer. I liked it, that is all.



Okay so Wagagamas have their A-game when it comes to menu aesthetic and all things food. Their design is on point, and I do aim on nicking their dessert menu one day, as that has some fab red foiling on the cover. Seen here is one of their placemats, I love the layout; so simple but not too white and the photograph with the cross-section of a ramen bowl is pure genius. Simplicity and contemporary design are at one in Waga’s


3 - "FREE" from Yo!Sushi

Another food based promotional piece here. Yo!Sushi do have some real funky stuff going on in their design department. This particular postcard sized flyer is for a free hand-roll if you bet on Japan winning the football world cup (lets face it, that’s not going to happen anytime soon) This certain flyer caught my eye due to the fat typography and the fade which is implied on the “FREE” the further the eye travels. This use of type has actually inspired some of my work, so hey, well done Yo!
Huzzah! We have come to an end! If you enjoyed that and want to see more, please feel free to follow and check out some of my other stuff below:


fab.
