Crafty cuts and cigarette butts.

Thanks to Martyn and his was new issue of IDN, I came across this design company who have multidisciplinary techniques and can approach multiple briefs to attain their own status within the creative industry. First bitten then never shy, some of the first things I saw them do was working for Neon magazine, which is a Berlin based magazine similar to IDN and Wired.

This set of images they made were for the Super Mario Fashion Story feature. They used a whole load of crafting materials and it looks brilliant, despite the content not quite up to scratch with the latest graphics card, the finesse in the craft makes it worthwhile.

Catrin and Adrian seem to be well connected and have published alot of illustrations, editorial pieces for Neon. This illustration is about big things (like cars) getting less noisy and little things like mobiles getting louder and louder. I love the use of cardboard to draw more attention to the vibrancy of colour used to essentuate the text.
