Get your design into the hands of 2 Million people in the UK

How great is this idea: D&AD support the industry, Metro get some free and powerful creative and most importantly some designers who crave a bit of personal PR get exactly that. Why don't more companies do this?

Do you work in design or advertising and want evidence of your creative genius in the hands of 2 million commuters?

D&AD and Metro are taking Behind the Idea to the front page by launching a competition that challenges creatives to design a coverwrap for Metro.

We want you to create something for our readers - true urbanites, who live and work in cities across the UK. Our readers love their cities and city living.  Your challenge is to design something to inspire and motivate them on their morning commute.

If you win, your entry will be wrapped around an April issue of Metro’s London edition, and your work will be featured in an upcoming edition of Behind the Idea.

Visit www.metrowrap.co.uk for the full brief and terms and conditions.

Sparks design some beautiful album artwork for Belfast artist Dukes Special

I saw Duke Special a few times back when it seemed he was never out of the Empire Bar. 

Fantastic music if you get the chance to go see him, its well worth it. Also has great taste in agencies to produce album artwork.

This lovely new box set of three album releases by the artist Duke Special has been designed Sparks, London. It coincided with his recent performance in the Brecht play Mother Courage at the National Theatre London.

Johanna Basfords illustration work, Aberdeen never looked so good

Inspired by my upbringing on a small fish farm in rural Aberdeenshire, Scotland, much of my work has roots in the flora and fauna that I grew up with. My wandering imagination and passion for drawing took me to Art School in Dundee, where I graduated with a first class honours degree in Printed Textiles in 2005.

I embrace the challenge of a cross disciplinary approach, creating designs and surface patterns for everything from ceramics, album covers, catwalk fashion, beer bottles, wallpaper, wedding stationary and even skin! My ever-growing list of happy customers includes names such as The Crafts Council at the Victoria and Albert Museum, DKNY, The BBC, Channel 4, The Scottish Parliament, Dazed and Confused, Creative Review, Heals, Hallmark, Queensberry Hunt, Hendricks Gin, The Body Shop and Johnson and Johnson.

“The Peppersmith name reflects both the Englishness of the mint and the artisan feel of the product,” says B&B Creative Partner Shaun Bowen. “The design has a similar feel, but we’ve had great fun disrupting its seriousness with our moustache icon, which carries across into broader brand communications.

The pack also contains tiny papers for throwing gum away – a reflection of Peppersmith’s mission to overcome the age old problem of gum ending up stuck to pavements.”


Designed by B&B in London

This is genius, kudos to Pringle for the confidence to do this.
I especially love the design process, all my jumpers are 65% gay

Too much information, give me a Sunday newspaper any day

An ad for the Observer from Wieden + Kennedy in London, seemingly portrays the way we consume news on the TV compared to the relaxation of a newspaper on Sunday. Could easily be about information overload in digital media.
