Looked on septemberindustry.co.uk this morning for new inspiration and came across design project.co.uk which are based in Leeds, and they do the kind of work that I would like to do. They do simple typographic driven branding and promo design for a whole range of clients.
In particular I have chosen to showcase their work for Robert Horne simply due to the use of overprinting, something that I would like to experiment with on some of my briefs. The use of bold, bright and fresh colours is something I encourage, and I would see this type of work working with the late music, or modern classics briefs I am working on.
I also found some work they did for Leeds City Art Gallery, which I found related to what I wanted to produce. Here they use a selection of stocks and specialist inks to create a high end finish.

More minimalist movie posters, two of which are clever in their delivery. Nice bold colour, sans serif type choice, clean and direct, just how I like em.

Minimalist Posters & Covers - Fubiz™
I wanted to post examples of these film posters and CD covers I found online at fubiz.net. I have always loved minimalistic design with geometric shapes, negative spacing used in conjucntion with typography for balance. They seem to fit well with the kind of work I enjoy looking at. For the film posters at least, you have to have seen the film to get the iconic reference the image represents.
The simplistic style is given depth by the way the finished texture, its as if it's been printed traditionally and re-photographed. That, combined with the design approach gives a real sense of a cinema screening with the film projectors and the film splicing.

The CD Covers are post modern representation of the original artwork, which again appeals to my tastes. I could see these being released as a set to mark some sort of anniversary. These are similar to the work of Albert Exergian, whose work I featured last year.
