Sugarfree - Mornings and Airports

We can't wait for our complementary copies for the album Mornings and Airports by Sugarfree, so purchased one earlier! The printers did an excellent job on the packaging, the spot lamination and the pantone gold color on the cover, although the very thin lines on the cover and the inner pages was not printed well (due to the very thin strokes..) So here it is, you better purchase one to see it!

Thank you to Liz and Michael of Laurence King for sending us a copy of the book "Business Cards 3 - Designs on Saying Hello" in which we are featured in!

We even made it on the back cover thumbnails...

Sugarfree - Mornings and Airports production...

Sugarfree's new album was released last Monday (but we don't have copies yet hehe) so we are just posting some photos from the shoot and development of some elements we used for their new album entitled "Mornings and Airports". We wanted to come up with another memorable packaging for the band (like we did with Tala-Arawan), this time we played around with concept of creating a passport booklet with custom stamps and visa looking title pages. Before we landed on this concept, we met with the band and the management a few months ago with great ideas for the album, but time and budget for the production is always the enemy hehe, so we happily ended with this one.

We rush produced hand-made rubber stamps as part of the elements to be used inside the booklet of the album. We created passport stamps for Sugarfree's most memorable gigs/locations for the past 10 years

We'll be posting the album packaging as soon as we get our copies. You can see it via their official website at WeAreSugarfree. Thanks to the band - Ebe, Jal and Kaka, to Karin, Miss Ethel and Boss Willie of PolyEast Records

Manila Design Week @ ROX

Huge banners of Manila Design Week spotted in ROX, Bonifacio High Street...

A few days ago...

Had the chance to meet with Jeremy and Gary in their studio in Cubao, lots of stuff there to see including some of Louie Cordero's prototype bust and the self-portrait sculpture..

We also dropped by TM studio, they play Guitar Hero with the real equipments hehe (they still lack a digital projector for lyrics guide...)

We also dropped by a deli store to get some sausages, unfortunately we won't be cooking sausages indoors again..the last photo is the evil meringue that tastes so gooooood..

Pupil - Wildlife Special Edition

We were comissioned by Pupil to design their special edition album Wildlife, a 2-cd packaging with re-mastered tracks from their Wildlife album plus demos, videos and liner notes. Extra thanks to Everywhereweshoot for helping us out on the band photos we used on the packaging. Its already out on the record bars so go grab one. We haven't updated our main site yet (we have tons to update hehe) so watch out for it, in the meantime enjoy some behind the scenes on the project....

Mock-ups for the approved packaging

This should be the size of the liner notes/poster to be used on the album, we changed the format of it, making it smaller and fit to the digipack...


Here is the alternative design for the album which never saw the light....

We would like to thank the band and ms. Day Cabuhat for inviting us to work on their album! Enjoy!
