Colourful and light hearted, with witty primarily copy driven promotion, the identity gently encourages revellers to 'play with their food' at (what I termed) 'the tastiest gig in town'. <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-1_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-2_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/photo2b.jpg" border="0" width="440" height="607" width_o="440" height_o="607" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/photo2b_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/photo1.jpg" border="0" width="435" height="600" width_o="435" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/photo1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-3_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster1b.jpg" border="0" width="285" height="391" width_o="285" height_o="391" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster1b_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster2b.jpg" border="0" width="285" height="391" width_o="285" height_o="391" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster2b_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster3b.jpg" border="0" width="285" height="391" width_o="285" height_o="391" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/poster3b_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-4a.jpg" border="0" width="440" height="600" width_o="440" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-4a_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-4b4.jpg" border="0" width="435" height="600" width_o="435" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-4b4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-6_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/2508735/Harvest-Festival-6_o.jpg" align="left" /> Project completed at B&B studio http://www.brears.co.uk/Found http://www.brears.co.uk/following/brears.co.uk/Found Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:12:42 +0000 Ben Brears — Graphic Design 1471561 Identity and packaging for produce company 'Found!'. A new 'freshly stamped' identity, natural stock and fresh, tasty highlight colours combine with mouthwatering copy and a renewed focus on usage (the pack reverse features recipes and culinary tips) to help this brand find it's feet and it's rightful place on supermarket shelves. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/1471561/found_logo_large3_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/1471561/found_logo_large3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/1471561/Found_Mushroom_Packs_Visual_905.jpg" border="0" width="889" height="600" width_o="889" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/1471561/Found_Mushroom_Packs_Visual_o.jpg" align="left" /> Project completed at B&B studio http://www.brears.co.uk/Bulldog-Natural-Skincare http://www.brears.co.uk/following/brears.co.uk/Bulldog-Natural-Skincare Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:03:39 +0000 Ben Brears — Graphic Design 983980 Branding and packaging evolution for Bulldog Natural Skincare. Taking Bulldog from challenger pup to top dog, I worked to soften the rough ('ruff) edges and reshape the pack hierarchy. Bulldog is now clean, clear and concise. It's manly but natural, self-assured without being cocky, and straight forward without being blunt. It's man's best friend. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog-1b_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog-1b_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog_Vis_Group_03_2_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog_Vis_Group_03_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog-Before2_905.jpg" border="0" width="890" height="600" width_o="890" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/983980/Bulldog-Before2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Project completed at B&B studio http://www.brears.co.uk/Just-My-Type-Typographic-Valentines-Cards http://www.brears.co.uk/following/brears.co.uk/Just-My-Type-Typographic-Valentines-Cards Sat, 07 May 2011 18:56:48 +0000 Ben Brears — Graphic Design 1411684 Working with fellow designer and friend, Adam Ding, I developed a range of pun-tastic Typographic Valentines Day cards to woo the designer/s you love.

Traditional methods and values, real English mint, and a playful tone of voice are the very core of the Peppersmith brand. One chat about the calming effects of chewing gum, a fashionable poster doing the news rounds and a fortuitous pun later, there seemed an obvious choice for the ensuing prints. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/244996/Peppersmith-Poster2_905.jpg" border="0" width="889" height="600" width_o="889" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12005/244996/Peppersmith-Poster2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Project completed at B&B studio http://www.brears.co.uk/More http://www.brears.co.uk/following/brears.co.uk/More Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:02:20 +0000 Ben Brears — Graphic Design 198224 Proposed typographic identity for Russian digital content specialists More.
