BC Dairy Foundation Milk Slam

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Cowie and Fox recently created a High School and College targeted Milk Campaign called Milk Slam. For 2010/2011 we went for a simple and clean graphic. Eye catching neon colours and use of pop culture icons are sure to be a hit with the kids these days.

Typographic Sex with Durex

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Cheeky Durex ads designed by Andrej Krahne

Although I think the type choice could be better (Hobo definitely isn’t one of my favorites) and the copy writing tweaked, I think the overall concept is pretty great.

Arial & Helvetica

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Helvetica is like a celebrity, (no really it is, it’s in a movie). It’s so highly regarded among designers and never hated on like Comic Sans or Arial.

I’ve discovered a brilliant crafty exploration, showing Arial vs. Helvetica side-by-side. You’ll notice that in most cases Helvetica is the simpler, more elegant of the two. (see the angles of the r, t and c).

You might also noticed that there’s only 10 characters listed here, is it because all the others are identical? Some investigation needs to take place! Anyone up for the challenge?
