Micheline

Micheline is a stationary boutique in Mexico dedicated to designing and printing stationery and pieces for social events. The redesign of their brand by Anagrama caught my eye because it is based almost entirely on a theme of black and white, with a contrasting splash of colour in the form of their catalogues. Above are examples of the monochrome packaging wrapped with their printed tape and logo stamped labels, one a single stylised M, the other the complete Micheline name. And below are the elements that make up this packaging.

A hint of colour appeared on the grand opening invitation, and then the catalogues in the boutique itself provide a rainbow of striking colours, along with some of the products themselves.

 

 

Naomi Murrell

      

Yesterday I posted a brooch by Naomi Murrell who lives in Adelaide and has a website selling both jewellery and paper products. She has a brilliant logo which is strong and stylised, with great fonts, and she uses variations of this bird and heart image across her range. Pictured are my favourites products. 

Mibostudio

I recently discovered the Etsy shop Mibostudio. I just love their motley crew of make-it-yourself paper animals, pictured above and below. Mibostudio is the papercraft department of the British design company Mibo, founded by designer Madeleine Rogers and based in Brighton. You can purchase these lovely creations as a pdf file, which contains the templates for your chosen set of animals. The pdf is sent to you via your Paypal email address and then you can get printing, cutting, and gluing! 

Laser Lovelies

  

The lovely laser cut items in todays post show the variety of designs

and ideas you can create using this technique. Above is a laser cut brooch by

the Australian illustrator and designer Naomi Murrell.

Colourful Birds

My very first post is of this gift bag designed by Soul UK which

I've loved since first seeing it, and buying it, earlier this year. It uses a great colour

palette, with a pattern of stylised yet cute birds in regimented rows.
