INSTAGRAM FIND – studio_elke

Why haven’t I seen this earlier? Sydney based jewellery designer Elke Kramer has been designing unique accessories and statement jewellery for eleven years. I just found her on Instagram and need to share. Studio Elke designs “Unique objects, jewellery & accessories for the curious individual”. I love the maximalist aesthetic here of “more is more” and the bold gestures. There are great combinations of beautiful materials and great shapes – so inspiring. And I love the artistic packaging with the splatter paint pattern. Please take a look:

New Glass Systems – work in progress

It’s always so exciting to share some work in progress with you for a new brand identity. This Logo is going to be for a window company in Miami. Here you see the moodboard which I pull together from different images from my Pinterest galleries as a research. The board is my starting point when I’m beginning to sketch and put ideas together in illustrator. I then develop 2-3 series of logo concepts. We wanted a clean, modern look. I choose the color palette and fonts. And then it’s off to the client for feedback. I love to develop logo ideas, it’s so interesting to dive into new businesses and industries I haven’t worked in before.

INSTAGRAM FIND – lisesilva

How I love to find amazing artists on Instagram. It’s always such a wonderful & magical moment! Today I found Lise Silva. She
an artist based in Oakland, CA and she creates fiber jewelry and wall hangings with handmade cord entwined in knot designs which
explore the power of symbols. Her knot designs “serve as a metaphor for life experiences, dreams, and deep desires.”

double take – Artist Tauba Auerbach

I did a double take when I came across an image of a work the other day. I had to look at it a second time closer after being so surprised the first time seeing it.
Does this happen to you too sometimes?

It turned out to be the project [2,3]. The artist Tauba Auerbach teamed up with Printed Matter to publish six separate, wonderfully designed pop-up books filled with geometric paper sculptures. There is also a great video by the director Sam Fleischner which shows the books being unpacked and opened up. There is a moment of wonder each time. And I love the sound of the books creaking until they are fully opened.
