Zanjice Olive Oil

This fabulous label creation from Gail Armstrong is a personal project done as a "thank you" for some friends. 

After a holiday last summer in Zanjice - a fairly cut-off part of Montenegro, Gail discovered that all the olives from the area were gathered from everyone's property at the end of the season and sent to the community press to be made into olive oil. She says " However, the hand-written labelling left much to be desired, so as a "thank you" I created these olive oil labels. The paper sculpture scene is the view across the swimming pool of one of the landmark villas in the area and the ribbon flourish has a blank area where the date of pressing can be written."

Propercorn

Zoe More O'Ferrall works on the new packaging design for Propercorn.

As well as being London Fashion Week's official snack, the 'Popcorn start up'  has done very well and had a mention on the Vogue blog last year.  Zoe's hand drawn delights give the packs a feel of an unopened book, with a tasty treat inside!

Rollet Draws for Martell

Claire Rollet can finally reveal her work done for the cognac Martell.

Working with the Parisian advertising agency Being, Claire made illustrations showing chic Paris style for a limited edition bottle. It was a major campaign with the drawings being used on the packaging, shelf stoppers, shopping bags and palette boards aswell as the bottle itself. Claire says "I had great fun with this job, taking me back to my French roots. Marine Bouvier was a fantastic Art Director with a great vision and lots of energy."

Grover at Zizzi

James Grover creates a mural for Zizzi Ipswich.
Commissioned by the Design manager at Zizzi, James worked over a five day period to complete the different elements of the painting. Using a scaffold tower for the high parts, James has produced an awesome piece of art for the restaurant. He says "The mural is a map of Ipswich’s centre, showing the main attractions and significant buildings. There are also a few little bits of info about the town dotted around too. The frames are made to look like they are suspended by a port crane which I was also asked to draw. The designs were produced using acrylic paint pens and emulsion."

Lang is one of the finest*

Helen Lang works on several product and packaging concepts for the Tesco finest* range.
Commissioned by P&W London, Helen created the hand lettering for three dipping oils and rapeseed oil. She says "The brief was to make it look hand rendered as though someone had created their own infusions and written on the labels as a home cook would do." More products with Helen's work will be released soon.
