IdN v17n1: The Branding Issue
Brand Everything

Show me some ID, please
Human beings are born with a unique identity – carried in our DNA or via our fingerprints. And when that officer of the law asks you to show him some ID, you simply flash your ID card, passport or driving licence. Things are not that simple for companies and institutions, who have to have one invented for them. Once upon a time, a simple, eye-catching logo did the trick. Now it has all become very much more complicated, with the bigger firms needing a complete “identity system”.

Our 15 featured designers in this article have all specialised in creating such systems, big and small, and here they discuss the challenges involved, the pleasures and pitfalls of trying to manufacture a winning personality for a product or brand.
Featuring:
21-19 | Christoph Almasy | Jordi Huaman | Joshua Distler | Landor Associates | Marc Alcock | Mind Design | Pentagram | Proud Creative | Richard Harrington | Round | Section Seven | StormHand | Sue Doeksen | Wolff Olins

Other must read contents:
Motion Gallery: A Hankering for Hand-drawn Animation
Feature: Show us some ID, please
Creative Country: Barcelona, Catalan capital is still cool
Playback: Bringing a human touch to a techno-obsessed industry
Exhibition: A trip back in time

IdN v16n6: The Colour Issue

Posted by Angi Law 2 months ago

IdN v16n6: The Colour Issue
Colour Sutra

It’s a colourful world
Colour is at once both the most subjective and the most universal of design elements. For most of us, there is no particular rationale behind what we regard as our ‘favourite’ colours – but for a designer, making the right choice of colour combinations can mean the difference between success and failure. We talk to 10 top creative about their approach to this fundamental issue. Their opinions are as fascinating as the examples of their work we have chosen to illustrate the article.

Featuring:
James Joyce / MWM Graphics / Nepomuk / Tomi and Cherry / Neasden Control Centre / HouseOfBurvo / Kustaa Saksi / Dan McPharlin / Tomer Hanuka / Nocturn

Because the response has been so great, we are now looking to include 60 artists in the book, as opposed to the original 50!

So far, 46 of you have now received the official invitation and we couldn't be more excited about every single contributor.

For those of you that haven't received an invitation yet, we're doing everything we can to squeeze a few more pages out for you. We greatly appreciate all the interest in this project, thank you and thank you.

For those that have already received the invitation (and to the 14 more artists that will soon be added to the project), we'll be getting the submission details out to you shortly. For now, please think about the 5 pieces that you'd like to submit and I'll follow-up shortly with more details.

Thanks again everyone!

IdN v16n5: Editorial Design Issue

Posted by Angi Law 3 months ago

The magic of magazines

As one of our featured designers, Nicolas Bourquin, puts it: “It’s a hard time for magazines, but a fabulous period for editorial design.” To stave off the threat posed by digitalization, it seems that everyone in the print industry is being motivated to push the boundaries of this discipline to unprecedented heights of creativity. We talk to half a dozen experts in editorial design who are not only managing to survive but producing publications that can stand comparison with any that have come before them – about why they do it and how they see the future of “hard copy”.
