I love a bit of branding, me.

Branding and art direction are two things that I am incredibly interested in. If you happen to stumble onto my mostly neglected Pinterest account, you'll realise that my 'design' board is easily my favourite. I find myself continuously searching for ingenious product design and brilliant branding, yet it is not something I share on here often. From now on, I will make more of an effort to feature the best finds.

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" - Samuel Johnson

If you have been reading for a while, or especially if you follow my YouTube channel, you will know that I absolutely love London  Whenever I am able to be there, I will be, and I am vastly more comfortable there than I am anywhere else. Winchester is where I live; London is where I belong. This isn't to discredit Winchester, I have completely fallen in love with the place, but it doesn't offer me the opportunity and expansive availability of everything like The Big Smoke. This brings me to the jaw dropping artwork above... Hand Drawn Map of London by Jenni Sparks.

Knitted Weapons by Additive Studios | Art Direction

When I think of weapons, a disheartening cloud floats over my sense of morality. When I think of knitting, that disheartening cloud transforms into a knitted... thing... that I want to fall asleep on. It's the juxtaposition that makes this set of work from Additive Studios, aptly named 'Knitted Weapons', truly powerful and strangely enrapturing.
