Supporting pieces were also created with tourism in mind such as maps and billboard advertising mock ups.</p>http://www.cyondesign.com/post/6414355203http://www.cyondesign.com/post/6414355203Sat, 02 Apr 2011 18:14:00 +0100cyondesigngraphicTypographyswindonfreelancesouth westdesigner<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liw2q2SjYj1qiqn7qo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liw2q2SjYj1qiqn7qo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liw2q2SjYj1qiqn7qo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liw2q2SjYj1qiqn7qo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>My entry into the 2011 D&AD Awards - a re-brand and re-pack of existing Body Shop products. My response has created 4 packs that will integrate into the existing range structure but have the strength to stand as an individual range. Details of the individual pack details and graphics are here on the 4 boards though one of the key points to this design is the use of scented inks to present the fragrance within, hence the name <strong>“Scent.

I feel the finished logo illustrates the nature of the business effectively and simply and places the company closer to where they see themselves in the marketplace.</p>http://www.cyondesign.com/post/4216308598http://www.cyondesign.com/post/4216308598Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:59:00 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liw3nyE56f1qiqn7qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Working with a local tattoo artist, this image was created using Illustrator and Photoshop to eventually be produced on a 2 metre square backdrop to be taken to exhibitions around the world.
