Books for context

It is really important for me to gain a good understanding of print -old and new and so there are a number of beautiful books I want to try and get my hands on to inform me of what is out there and how it still happens.

These are just a selection of books I found but there are so many I will have to find good reason to chose specific ones.

Simple, beautiful type based packaging.

This is a really beautiful range by Glasford and Walker.
The logo is really simple and appropriate and the packaging is, although type based, made to seem organic and tasty!

There does seem to bit some inconsistency through some of the products but that may have been part of the brief they were given.
Eg.  The Cheese label is a different layout and colour to the nuts label which is different to the oil label which does not include an image at all.

 It would of been interesting to see the image based logo made as a stamp to encourage the organic nature of the range.

Triboro Design

 This work is stunning as Triboro use a mixture of colour and experimental typography to design for varying publications and layouts.
This is the perfect example for using colour in work whilst it still looks ultimately professional and considered.  I would love to be able to gain a knowledge on this subject as I would love to be able to use colour in such a way.
It is very easy to play with colour and put it alongside hand rendered type and image but this company in America have hit the nail on the head in production individual, quality design.
I want to work with them.
