They have worked for huge clients such as Coca-cola. They worked on a Fanta brief for them. They work i like the most they have created is the work for Font works. Which i have included some imagery. these stills were made into a film. The other work i liked the most was the editorial design they did for verses cancer. They designed the branding and it worked well when applied to the magazine.
True North
True North is a Manchester based design company. I have tried researching into them but there website is currently just a holding page so i could just see a snippet of there work. The work that stood out for me the most was the Grand prix stamps, on there own as just a stamp there is nothing that exciting about them but when laid out as a group it comes to life, The squares around the stamp fits in with the starting grid. Also i liked the Type work for breaking chains although im not sure what the project was done for.

The girl chewing gum by John Smith
The girl chewing gum is a black and white film created by John Smith. It is a normal film of day to day life with John doing a voice over as if he is directing a movie.It was created in 1976 and is 12 minutes long. I like this film as it makes a dull scene look funny. I first saw this when we were doing a project on conceptual art and have re looked at it while doing a project with Fake id.
