Petra Borner - Pippa Kendrick's The Intolerant Gourmet

Petra_borner_pippa_kendrick2

If you or someone you live with has an allergy or intolerance to certain foods, you'll know that cooking can easily become a far less than enjoyable chore. A new cookery book released today however, The Intolerable Gourmet by Pippa Kendrick, provides a huge selection of safe and trusted recipes for all kinds of meals.

The book is also divided into seasonal food groups, each of which is beautifully illustrated by Petra Borner, all of which you can see below. These classifications are not only useful for those days when you have no culinary imagination, but also promotes responsible farming (although I'm going to assume the carrot cake with lemon fudge icing is meant for all year round consumption).

For more information you can read up on the official website here.

Noma Bar - Lyonnaise des Eaux

Noma_bar_lde
The Paris branch of advertising agency M&C Saatchi and artist Noma Bar have recently completed the latest campaign for Lyonnaise des Eaux, one of France's largest water distribution companies, highlighting the importance of high quality sanitisation of water.
While using a water droplet as a recurring motif, a number of images were created covering a number of pointers, such as the need for communities to look after their local water sources, and responsible pricing of tariffs.
You can see more of Noma's work below, as well as on the LDE site, where there is also a great animation of Nomas work to accompany the campaign.

Wilfrid Wood - Orange Swapables Ninja campaign

Wilfrid_wood_orange_campaign
Wilfrid Wood has been working with creative agency Fallon on the latest Orange campaign, designing and creating a team of super-stealthy ninjas whose sole purpose is to keep their customers entertained.
The project promotes Oranges new swappable app subscription service on their Panther tariff. The Ninjas themselves were designed by Wilfrid, who then hand made a set of figures for web and print advertisements, shot by photographer Leandro Farina.

The Ninjas, in the form of some fantastic costume tailoring based on Wilfrids original figures, also appear in the latest TV commercial. Check out the video below, where time is slowed down enough to see them at work.

Joel Holland - JCPenney

Joel_holland_jcpenneys

Ah, the January Sales. As if the Christmas rush wasn't enough, shopping malls and retail parks everywhere know just how to bring out the crazy in us all for another month. All Stock Must GO! 10% Off Sale Prices! By February it's just to much to bare.

Here lies the concept behind the latest campaign for American clothing chain JCPenney, created by Mother New York and illustrated by typographer Joel Holland, to promote the brands new price structure launched this month. Joel's defiant artwork, which you can see more of on Mother NY's homepage, ties in with a TV add where the shoppers have simply had enough. Be warned, it gets pretty loud.

The new campaign and price structure also joins a rebranding of the chains logo, and plans for new store layouts and in store marketing events. So if you live stateside, keep your ears to the ground, and your eyes on Joel's handiwork.
