As Burger King begins to focus their efforts globally, with a push of sleekly designed and very successful 20/20 restaurants (think: what would Burger King look like in Back to the Future, Part 2), we're also seeing their packaging design begin to take a new focus.
I've always been a big fan of art sprung from the re-imagination of music, literature, and film. The idea that every person interprets art differently and expresses those interpretations in ways that are completely unique to them is what art is all about.
Seattle designer Jeff Kleinsmith created a poster for "The Godfather" that I have on my wall, and I stare at it from time to time completely swept up in why he pursued the direction he did (and I'm glad he did because I love it). So, needless to say, I was thrilled to see the...

Nature rules the land on the Nordkyn peninsula in Finnmark, Norway. The area's iconic, "live" identity that changes along with the elements also rules.
What makes this innovative brandmark especially important is that the bulk of Finnmark's tourism is nature and sporting focused. The design of the mark certainly captures the arctic mystique of the Nordic environment, but it is also directly useful in reflecting wind and temperature.
Chicago Craft Beer Week has finally arrived, and for those of us who have been waiting impatiently for 364 days, it's just in time. What kind of beer drinkers/designers (usually at the same time) would we be if we didn't create some cool poster to commemorate the splendidness of it all?
Do you ever stop and think about how many fonts are all around you at any given moment? How these fonts interact with each other, how some work amazingly well, and how sometimes it's as much about what the words look like as what the words are saying? Probably not, unless you work in the design field (or have some type of peculiar obsession). Then, you do take notice. Always.
