A few months ago we were asked by GFSmith to design a Wallpaper* cover to celebrate the magazine's 15th anniversary. See above for our contribution. More about the project below...
-
Wallpaper* has collaborated with GFSmith on a cover project that looks to celebrate the magazine's 15th anniversary. 15 designers or brands were approached to each create a special cover design, to be printed on Colorplan paper stock. Collaborators include Build, It's Nice That, James Joyce, MadeThought, Nike, and Spin...
"Wallpaper* asked us to commission 15 designers to each produce a 'celebrity' bespoke cover around the concept of Wallpaper* Famous for 15 years'," explains GFSmith's James Groves.
-
"In the true sense of bespoke, using digital printing by FE Burman, each cover design was printed on to the stock of the designer's choosing from our Colorplan range," continues Groves. "FE Burman pushed the printing by using many different processes including multiple passes of white ink. The results show how choice of paper plays an integral part of the design process."

It's with great pleasure that we can show you the official film poster for the new Gary Hustwit documentary film 'Urbanized'.
having worked with Gary on his previous film 'Objectified' (Michael also featured in his first documentary film 'Helvetica') we are really happy to be working on the identity and all print collateral for this latest installment.
The poster is double-sided. Why two sides? 1) You get to you choose which side you want to display, and 2) If they’re randomly alternated when multiple copies are posted, they create sort of a “city skyline” of their own, like such—

Wim Crouwel-DM print.

To celebrate Wim Crouwel at the Design Museum Spin commissioned some of their favourite graphic design studios to create a Crouwel inspired poster using the grid structure he developed for his series for the Stedelijk Museum. We were honoured to be one of the studios invited and are rather pleased with the end result. The print is for sale and is available exclusively from Unit Editions here, and the Design Museum Shop here.
