Mind and Movement for Wayne McGregor and the Wellcome Trust, by Magpie Studio

The Mind and Movement project aims to engage students with choreographer Wayne McGregor’s teaching methods and encourage them to deconstruct the way they think about movement. Magpie Studio says the typographic solution allows the key principles of McGregor’s methods to be illustrated without suggestive photography of dancers. The type can be broken down into its constituent parts and rearranged into an infinite number of patterns.

Fedrigoni Calendar 2013, by The One Off

Taking cues from the Woodstock colours, which are reminiscent of school books, The One Off created a set of notebooks and a diary. The maths book specifies different paper weights, the geography book details environmental credentials and the diary showcases the different Woodstock colours, using seasons as and inspiration.

Skillet & Snipe, by B&W Studio

The identity uses a simple graphic ‘cut’ device, while communications use a series of food images shot by photographer Matt Seed using a Hasselblad camera. B&W says it contrasted the food images with bright use of colour.
