UK? OK!! Non-Format!!

Non-Format never stop and we think it’s OK!! The studio designed a poster and t-shirt for the UK? OK!! exhibition of British graphic designers at Parco Factory, Tokyo.

Taking inspiration from the notion of Axis Thinking (the brainchild of frequent Bowie collaborator Brian Eno) the design depicts a series of mixers with sliders positioned so as to describe each Bowie album within Non-Format’s own framework of extremes.

The t-shirt is produced and sold by BEAMS.

Vault49's Route

Mixed media design studio, Vault49, crafted a map of the USA featuring seven scenic routes in detail for car company Hyundai. The final model included laser cut elevations, a gravel shoreline, matchstick camp fires and hand drawn elements. If Hyundai happen to leave a car outside our office with the keys inside… we know which route to take.
