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.
