David Maclennan wallpaper
This most awesome desktop wallpaper was designed & illustrated by David Maclennan. Check out his new site All Work All Play or see his work on Behance. There should be a wallpaper to suit anyone’s screen size after the jump so you can have your very own 10and5 leopard in a leather jacket. Thanks David! We love our luiperd.
NMMU Posters by Boomtown
Boomtown Strategic Brand Agency created these posters for Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. They were tasked to portray the values of the university in a creative and visually arresting manor to the staff and students. The campaign is currently running internally and will run for the remainder of the year. They explain their method: We utilised hand illustrated, eye-catching visuals to portray each value and then silkscreened them in bright colours onto recycled card.
