Origin

Origin is a creative design agency based in Cheadle/ Cheadle Hulme. I came across there work while researching for my final major project. They did some really nice work for the great northern contemporary craft fair in 2008.  The created there posters on silkscreens and kept the silkscreen and frame as the poster. I haven't seen this done before and it reflects the creative side to this agency. Origin have worked for clients such as Bentley , Warburtons and Manchester United. Below are the screenprint posters the created. You can find more of there work at

Nandos menu

I went to Nandos yesterday and really liked there new menu designs. They are based on the copy " If ..... designed our menu we reckon it would look like this"

This is an advertisement for drink driving. I know from experience that the club entry stamps take a log time to wear off and you often see people including me with them on there hand still the next day. I like how they have used this to relate to alcohol wearing off.
