When they say it’s big, they’re not kidding! We just received our copy of Harper Design’s Big Book of Packaging and it’s chock full of great package designs. We’re happy to be in such good company, as we have several entries in the volume as well, including work for Jim Beam, The Art of Spice, Omaha Steaks, and a few others. The solid design of the book keeps all the inspiring work front and center. Highly recommended!
We’ve just added our latest print piece for Prominic.NET to the Hexanine portfolio. Check the link to read more about the work and Prominic, one of our oldest clients.
We collaborated with marketing partners iam8bit to create and design a set of four commemorative posters that will serve as giveaway items for each of the attendees of the 25th annual Game Developers Conference. The limited-edition posters are jam-packed with classic and modern video games references, a kind of scavenger-hunt that tromps through 40 years of video game history. More info on the posters and conference can be found here.
We’ve received lots of great work from the call for entries for our upcoming book, Damn Good: Top Designers Discuss Their All-Time Favorite Projects. But we’re not finished yet! We want to give you one last chance to enter your work in identity, print, web, packaging, illustration and axed projects, so we’re extending the deadline. The final, drop-dead date for submitting your work at our partner site is February 28th, 2011. So, if you’ve missed the initial entry window, now’s the time to get your work in. More details about entry and the book itself can be found in our earlier blog post. Damn Good will be released by HOW Design Books this coming November.
The redesigned website for Green Energy Reporter is now live. You can visit the new site itself, and read more about its creation on the Hexanine site.
Update: The Damn Good call for entries deadline has been extended to Monday, February 28th, 2011. More info here.
We are super excited to announce the official call for entries to our upcoming book, Damn Good: Top Designers Discuss Their All-Time Favorite Projects. Hexanine has partnered with HOW Design Books and Crescent Hill Books to deliver this design inspiration book, our very first!
Our logo design work for First ARP is now live on the Hexanine site. A website redesign is coming after the holidays as well.
Our identity work for the online news site, Green Energy Reporter, is now live on the Hexanine site. Project details are here. The identity will go live (along with more of our work) at Green Energy Reporter soon, so stay tuned.
It’s always nice to feel “essential”. That’s exactly how we feel after being included in the recently-released design volume, Brand Identity Essentials. This excellent book by Rockport Publishers showcases our work with Nerdcore and highlights the principles that make up successful identity programs. It’s definitely worth the read.
We are big fans of Steve Zelle’s design blog, Processed Identity. He digs in deep with identity designers on how they strategically solve clients’ logo issues, highlighting the inherent value of custom logo design. It’s all about the process, and we’re excited to once again be featured on PI, with a case study of our work with BevReview.
Thanks to Steve for his great continuing work.
