Liza Marklund’s international bestsellers

12 years ago Author By BHAG Design

Dust jacket design for Morton Books.* Every book has a Big-Hairy-Ambitious-Goal, and as a designer, you need to find the essence of the manuscript in front of you. As a design studio we craft each book carefully, dedicating the time that each book needs without rushing into random ideas. Liza Marklund’s three-ology of quirky Australian crime stories, perfectly describe the harsh and desolate world of the Australian outback. * Morton Books is a fictive publisher that allows me to showcase my cover concept and design work.

 
Thinking

Words are the skeleton, the muscles, the tissues. Type is the beautiful woman.

13 years ago Author By BHAG Design

Here at BHAG Design, we have a love for letters. We love them as physical entities, having abstract beauty of their own, apart from the words they may express on. It deserves to be precision kerned for esthetic reasons. It needs to have a minimal amount of word-space for uninterrupted reading. And we wouldn’t want to mix too many fonts together. Our love of letters is the beginning of our typographical wisdom and its craft is designed to give meaning beyond words. Typography is one of the pillars we are building our brand design business on. If you need help or advice, knock on our door. You might get lucky when a beautiful woman will answer your call.

Visual identity > Tommy’s CGI / photography work

13 years ago Author By BHAG Design

Logo and posters for upcoming car photographer and Computer Generated Imaging (CGI) specialist. Although the design makes use of an existing font –designed by Juan Pablo De Gregorio– the combination of letters diverge from the norm. When our little grey cells fill in the blanks between the slit syllables, we see what isn’t actually there. It fits Tommy’s use of 3D technology extremely well. He also focuses on things that aren’t actually there. (Like the computer-drawn automobiles in the examples below.) His work is executed in a realm of astonishing perfectionism. If you’re interested in the amazing possibilities of CGI, contact Tommy on www.tommyhulsbosch.com

Packaging design

100% Liquid Fruit Packaging

13 years ago Author By BHAG Design

Updated logo and packaging design for Appelsientje. Market leader by far, this brand is the Dutch icon in the fruit juice category since the mid-seventies. Everybody knows what the unusual names stand for: 100% pure orange and apple juice and everybody loves it. However, the existing packaging felt worn-out and needed an stylish shift to stay ahead of its many contenders. Part of the packaging solution was to use Tetra Pak’s aseptic packaging processes – which allow liquid food to retain colour, texture, natural taste and nutritional value for up to 12 months, without the need for preservatives or refrigeration. The superiority of the printing works for us too and allows Appelsientje to express the quality the stands for. For Moka design, Brussels
