El Palauet Living – identity

2010. Identity for luxury apartments in Barcelona.

Designed by Iris Tarraga, a graphic designer based in Barcelona, Spain. She previously worked at design and communications consultancy Marnich for 3 years before going it alone at the start of 2011.

I really like the use of the marker-pen lettering to achieve a more personal, casual feel whilst maintaining the luxury aspect using the silver metalic card. Very nice.

Have fun with fonts!

If you’re at a loose end on Friday night – make your way over to the Design Museum (London) for your chance to get familiar with fonts!

This fun and graphically inspired event takes place from 6-10pm and gives you a chance to take part in hand on workshops, compile your own alphabet compendium and much, much more.

Visit the Design Museum website to find out more.

Design Museum — Brit Insurance Designs of the Year 2010

Cartlidge Levene designed the exhibition for the 2010 awards. I really like that although the bright beacon-like pillars are wrapped in broken section titles, its still legible from each corner due to the repeat.

I found it on SeptemberIndustry, but cant seem to find it on their website.

Eames poster

The typographical poster by I Love Dust is a bit lovely, I think.

“Inspired by a TV conversation between Charles and Ray Eames, we worked on a series of design and illustration pieces based around graphics of the era.”

Letters & Numbers – online portfolio

Letters & Numbers is the portfolio of New York-based graphic designer and art director Steve Rura. The website itself has some beautiful elements – the way the images load out of a spotted pattern is lovely and the horizontal scroll element to view further images of each project works well.

I also particularly like the identity and stationary he has created for The Living Room restaurant at hotel The Maidstone.
