December’s highlights included Parallax Design’s work for Penley Estate, Bedow’s print work for Erik Penser Bank, and Bond’s brand identity and packaging for jewellery designer Tilly Sveaas. However, there were five projects that stood out, and have made it into BP&O’s Best Of Series.
This feature brings together some of the most unusual / distinctive projects published on BP&O each month for another opportunity to be seen and shared. These typically balance a strong concept with a compelling aesthetic and clear communicative intention that appropriately plays with form, colour, type and layout, as well as material, texture, image and print finish.

This post, the last of four—also check out Packaging of 2016, Brand Identities of 2016 and Graphic Design of 2016—is made up of studios selected from those that had three or more features on the site over the last year. Small studios were listed alongside those with multiple offices in terms of quality and a commitment to documenting projects.

These have made it into BP&O’s Best Of Series, a feature that regular readers will probably now know brings together the most interesting, unexpected or unusual projects published on the site for another opportunity to be seen and shared.
