Design Parent

Black Grass – Branding, Sleeve Design/AD
Catskills Records approached us to art direct and design the latest release for acclaimed UK hip hop act ‘Black Grass’. The result was a richly atmospheric shoot in The Rockery just outside Brighton where photographer Paul Farnham shot a range of dark, stylish shots to reflect the album’s dark urban theme in a contrasting environment. The shots were used on the CD album and various 12″ releases overlaid with smart, minimal typography.

Pure – Poster Design
Mid-century interior specialists ‘Pure’ commissioned Parent to design a direct mail piece to appeal to both consumers and commercial specifiers / architects. We answered with a delicate A3 poster, printed in b/w and a specially mixed orange onto bible paper. The design echos the graphic style of mid-century design.

It’s been a long time coming (a couple of years) but Poole based Parent have finally launched their new website – an uncomplicated, Cargo based affair that lets their work speak for itself. Some of you out there may also notice that the background is a clear nod to their old flash site :) . Thanks again to Andy for the hi-res images.

  1. David you must get this all the time but what is that font used for ‘Design Classics’. It bears a striking resemblance to one of my own on-going creations (maybe that’s cue for me to throw in the towel! Also I simply love the Black Grass photography! Nice post.

    Lovely! I really like how the typography compliments the photography is both works.

  7. Heavily tweaked Perla, I must add.

  8. Lovely work, I really like the simplicity in the Black Grass designs. The typography is simply stunning and the photographs work really well.
    I really like the font for pure design classics, it’s very ornate but stays contemporary,
    Well done!
