It is such a lovely case study that we dearly love on Abduzeedo, please note that her experiments took from 30 minutes to an hour. It’s all possible when you are willing; check it out!

Elegant Brand Identity for Clinique Vestimentaire

Clinic Clothing is a brand identity and art direction project shared by Vivien bertin for a fashion design. The visual language is simple but quite elegant with a classic black and white scheme and simple but yet bold typography. In this post you can see the brand identity and design process for this project including the applications from the physical world like collaterals to web and mobile app design. Everything is consistent but also coherent from the visual design point of view, if you look at the applications you can tell that they are part of a family or system. That, in my opinion, is what great design is all about.

Inspiring Motion Work of the Animation Studio Onesal

We tend to focus our posts on individual contributors but it is important to also talk about the companies and studios that most of these amazing motion designers might work. Today we are featuring the animation studio Onesal Studio. They are based in Tokyo, Japan and shared their demo reel or showcase video on their Behance profile. There’s so many cool projects like the Living Interface for Discovery Channel Japan or the La Vuelta 2016. The video really captures the stunning work of this animation studio.

Vintage Movie Titles Design

These were curated at “Movie Title Stills Collection”, and are definitely the result of a dedicated cinephile. You can see some amazingly designed titles when our grandfathers were being born. How great are these? For more of each film, like casting and all of that, and also for the complete collection (hundreds, probably thousands of titles), visit “Movie Title Stills Collection”. Cheers! ;)/p>

Adventurous Typography Design & Calligraphy

Let’s finish off the week with a typography design and calligraphy project that totally defines a genre and style. Overall, It kind of reminds me of the work from the latest Fantastic Beasts movie or even Pirates of the Caribbean. Designed by Hanoi-based Biksence Nguyen, we are taken on this voyage of mixture of lettering, gradients and textures. It’s quite beautiful, I personally loved this take on the “Octopus” piece, you’ll understand what I mean when you see it.
