Eat Green Design (egd)

Working with Cilla Maden and her energetic team, Buro North developed an engaging and tactile identity for what will become an annual event. Inspired by the event concept – a festival ‘hot-spot’ combining hospitality, networking, design and retail – and dedicated to pushing the concept all the way through the branding, we spent a day shopping in the market and building the letterforms ‘egd’ from fresh fruit and vegetables. The documentation of the process makes a lively little stop-frame animation and the end result is break away from the norm.

Büro North @ DMT

From July 17–20 we will be working from our ‘virtual studio’ at the Design:Made:Trade event — nestled amidst the cardboard maze resulting from our collaboration with Visy — as part of Melbourne’s State of Design Festival. Büro North were engaged to design the exhibition layout, and develop the stand graphics and graphic collateral. Working with an established logotype fitting into the Victorian ‘State of Design’ graphic system we developed an enveloping, dynamic barcode ribbon that encased and unified the event and the graphic collateral.

As well as designing the exhibition we are also participating and will be onsite to display our award winning Green Xmas Tree, and will be there on rotation to chat about who we are and what we do. Come down and see us if you’re in the neighbourhood on Sunday July 20 (open-to-the-public day).

Design Typography

London-based design group Design Typography specialise in book and magazine design, and with their refreshingly old-school approach to typography and titles under their belt such as ‘American Modernism (Graphic Design 1920-1960)‘ and ‘The Designer‘ magazine, it’s no wonder they’re inspiring some of the exciting graphic projects we’re working on at the moment.
