Driving Luxury with a LEXUS

Jelly London’s incredibly talented illustrator, Jo Bird has just completed a pretty classy editorial piece for the launch of a new magazine by luxury car brand, LEXUS.

Through Winkreative, a global branding, design and content agency LEXUS have launched a magazine for their readers and customers. Their cars embody luxury so, true to their brand, this magazine, (which is printed on the finest quality paper by the way) is promoting not only automotive but LEXUS’ new range of luxury items including leather goods, sunglasses and nifty gadgets, which appeal to the sophisticated consumer.

Jo Bird was to illustrate a selection of these products for the first issue of the magazine with a parchment paper and water coloured finish to her illustrations. Jo had to be very specific with the details and colours of each individual illustration but the creatives were thrilled and the issue has just gone to press.

Tamdhu was originally born on the banks of the River Spey

Steven Bonner has recently finished a drinks packaging re-brand for an iconic whisky label, Tamdhu.

The label oozes heritage, born originally on the banks of the River Spey in 1897. It ran for over one hundred years until outside influences forced it’s grave closure. However, the good news is that the popularity of the label prevailed and back in 2012 distillery was re-opened and thus Tamdhu was re-born. But it needed a new look. This is the part where Steven Bonner was able to turn his skilled hand to a brand that deserved the very best design and art direction.
