10 Pieces of Good Design
Here are ten pieces of design which I think are excellent. Below is the list, in no particular order:
Holidaily
Local Golden, CO brewery
Branding
Clean line work with fun pops of color make this brand fun and inviting.
Too Chai
Tea company
Agency — Mozgami Studio
Packaging and Branding
The unique package shape makes this one super cool, along with the beautiful branding and use of color.
Whistling Hare Distillery
Local Westminster, CO small-batch distillery
Agency — Cast Iron Design
Packaging and Branding
I’ve always been in love with this project from Cast Iron. They do such good work and every detail they put in really shows.
Jessica Hische
All work by Designer Jessica Hische.
Self-described as a “lettering artist and author with a tendency to overshare and a penchant for procrastiworking,” Jessica Hische has BEAUTIFUL work. I couldn’t pick just one piece of her’s. Her attention to detail in every project is really flawless.
I ❤ NY
by Milton Glaser, one of the most celebrated graphic designers in the US.
This iconic piece is simple, eye-catching, and timeless. Period.
Wander + Ivy
Local CO wine company
Agency — Moxie Sozo
Packaging and Branding
I love the contrast of simple type and intricate illustrations. This packaging is beautiful and Moxie Sozo always does fantastic work.
AIGA Event Promotion
1999 — Stefan Sagmeister
Sagmeister does epic work! One of his works that will always be my favorite is his promotion for an AIGA event in the late 1990’s. He went so far as to carve the event information into his body. Go the extra mile. The shock value is UNTOUCHABLE.
Chip Kidd
The master of book covers
Every cover Kidd has made is so unique and different. Each cover tells its own story and has a completely new style compared to the last.
AIGA logo — 1969
By Paul Rand
AIGA is the American Institute of Graphic Arts. And to be able to brand something like that must have felt incredible. Rand is a legend. This clean, simple design is perfection.
Eye on Design magazine — Issue #03 “Gossip”
Magazine (in full)
Cover and layout design
This cover depicts gossip perfectly. Not only is the cover brilliant, the insides are too; filled with unique layouts, bold colors, and page turning stories.
