Iphigen

by JWT, Hong Kong

“Losing hair gradually is a problem people tend to neglect. A specially designed memo pad is made to engage people with the problem of hair loss.

As users tear off memo sheets every day, the illustrated person’s “hair” becomes thinner and thinner, alerting them of possible hair loss.

They then remind them to face the problem before it is too late and that Pantogar revitalizer is the best solution.”

GBB Beauty Salon: Bikini Waxing Poster

by Tempo Advertising, Bucharest, Romania

“To promote the recently opened GBB beauty salon in one of the biggest office buildings in Bucharest, to the woman that work in the building, with a minimal budget.

The office building is a busy place, so they needed a surprising way of drawing ladies’ attention. They placed special posters in the building lobby.

The women were invited to tear off one of the hairs and call the number written on it for a reservation, thus demonstrating how easy waxing becomes when using the salon’s services.”

Dress For Dinner Napkins

by The Spoon Sisters

“As seen in Everyday With Rachael Ray and Metropolitan Home Magazine and on the Today Show!

Even if the guy’s dressed in his favorite old white tee shirt, with this napkin at his neck he’ll actually look like he made the effort to get dressed for dinner.

A great conversation piece at any party. There are 20 3-ply paper napkins to a package, 4 designs – 5 of each tie. Measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ when closed. Cello wrapped.”

Oh it’s fresh

by Jung von Matt, Hamburg, Germany

“The Oh it’s fresh! – milk udder packaging. At the coffee shop chain “Oh it’s fresh!” as the name might suggest  freshness is the name of the game, whether you go for tasty bagels, freshly squeezed juices or specialty coffees. And how better to demonstrate this commitment to freshness than by reflecting it in even the tiniest details in Oh it’s fresh! stores: the unusually designed single portions of milk with a little udder printed on them the milk pretty much goes straight from the cow into your coffee!”

The Smoking Jacket

by Fiona Carswell

“The Smoking Jacket has a built-in pair of lungs on the front. As the wearer smokes, the lungs fill up with the exhaled cigarette smoke and begin to gradually darken over time.

This project was a result of exploring visceral, reflective design as it relates to the body, behavioral choices, and information displays.”

The card generated a lot of hype as it successfully registered with people and at the same time it got nominated in many award shows.”

The Kraken Media Kit

“Proximo Spirits, the folks behind The Kraken, were kind enough to send in one of their beautiful media kits for their latest spirit. The kit is set up as a “proof” kit, each element inside is one piece of proof that the mythical Kraken sea monster exists. It includes a Kraken tooth, Kraken ink, a log book, a scroll, a feather, movies of the Kraken, and lastly a bottle of The Kraken.”

A three man web design & branding agency from Austin. We gave Trent Walton, the founder of Paravel, an interview to give an insight into their great work. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about Paravel. What sets your agency apart from other agencies? What’s special about Paravel?

Paravel is a 3-man team. We’ve been friends for over 15 years and have established really candid, yet comfortable working relationships with each other. While we each have our own web development or design forte, no project ever gets passed down an inter-departmental assembly line. We’re constantly collaborating, overlapping and slugging it out to be sure we’re doing the best work we’re capable of, not individually but as a team.

Does the fact that you’re from Austin influence your work or inspire you in anyway?

Yes. I love Austin and the Texas Hill Country. We’re proud to be a part of the creative community here, and we gather inspiration from what lies outside our doors regularly. The Texas scenery is great and all, but the saddle-sized chicken fried steaks and the BBQ brisket ain’t half bad either.

What do you think is the worst thing that can happen when you’re working on a project? How do you cope with sluggish workflow and what do you think are the best conditions to realize a project?

Communication breakdown. It is so important to remember that clients hire you for your expertise and that you have to devote time to educate them about the web. From the beginning, we’ve never believed it’s only about photoshop and HTML coding. It’s our duty to be advocates for the web design craft, teaching clients not only about what we deliver, but all the ins, outs and what-have-yous encountered during the creative process.

What do you think defines a good designer and creative design ?

Growing up, my father spent many of his weekend and evening hours working on cars out in the garage. Witnessing the amount of time & effort he put into hammering out fenders or assembling an engine had a major influence on how I view the creative process. Good design takes patience, practice and lots of hard work. The designers I admire most aren’t just good, they’re working to get better.

What would you consider to be your dream project ?

I’d have to say Paravel itself. Starting a company hasn’t been easy or glamorous, but it has definitely been an adventure. Being in control of your own destiny (or at least as much as you can be in business) is great. Having the ability to call your own shots and select the projects that interest you is priceless. Our work is always changing and always challenging and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thanks a lot for participating.
