Burgopak/Uber BAFTA Invitation Collaboration

This is nice. In a joint design venture, Burgopak Ltd and Uber Agency developed an innovative and striking invitation for the recent BAFTA awards night. Showcased down the red carpet, the sleek black and white designs blended in handsomely amidst the glamour of the star-studded event.

Packaging design company Burgopak incorporated their patented ‘slider’ mechanism into the design, providing a smart and distinctive package to accompany the guests. The simple sliding tray action reveals the invitation, with artwork designed by Uber. In a classic and elegant approach, the design features the iconic BAFTA masks on both white and black packages.

Probably the world’s longest photograph

Carlsberg don’t do photography, but Danish photographer Simon Hoegsberg does. Simon tells us, “I’ve spent the last 17 months making [this photograph]. The photograph is 100 meters long (100 m x 78 cm), and is about the uniqueness of ‘ordinary’ people. The title of the photograph is ‘We’re All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence’.”

Yvette Mahon

Yvette Mahon has a really, really good website, although it is deceiving as I though she would be an illustrator rather than a designer.
