Hatchers

HELOHOLO — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:55:17 +0000

I didn’t update this blog for a while, and there were reasons for this. One among them — I’ve started a new design studio — Hatchers. And this means more amazing things and much much more hard work.

Today I’m happy to show what we were working on all these months, our new portfolio and studio website — hatcherscreative.com

Please, let me know what you think about it! And spread the news if you like it.

And this is our new logo, by the way.

Portfolio – 2010. Part 2

Adding new projects to portfolio. Today mostly all of them are print designs for Beijing hotels. The most unusual project for me was a brochure-catalog of moon cakes, traditional pastries that Chinese eat at Mid-Autumn festival. This cakes are usually put into extensively decorated boxes and sold expensively by… well, literally, everybody, as it’s an nice way of making money, so all the hotels, big restaurants, supermarkets and even fast-food restaurants warm their hands on this business. It was pretty cool to make something for such a Chinese-Chinese thing, but to reinvent it in a way, to make it stand out among other competitor products.

So here it is – Kerry Centre mooncakes brochure

And other projects:

Westin Weddings

Westin Events

Jazz poster for Kerry Centre

Westin Christmas 2010

Hilton wine banquet (proposition)

I haven’t updated my portfolio for almost a year, so there are a lot of projects piled up, waiting to be exhibited. Today is the day. I’ve added many new corporate identity projects that I was working on in 2010:

Chinese fonts by REDESIGN

It’s always hard to find nice modern Chinese fonts. That’s why I was so happy, when I stumbled upon a website of Beijing based typographic designer Ding Yi (丁一) and his company Redesign. I must confess it’s the cleanest, the most nicely designed Chinese website I’ve seen.

House numer plates

In a part of Beijing where I live there are a lot of old red brick buildings. They all look pretty much the same, but number plates. Oh, those number plates! It’s amazing how different they could be. Two building next to each other might speak with totally different voices.

One day I spent couple of hours walking few blocks around my house hunting for those plate. Check it out!
