THE VINYL FACTORY
The Vinyl Factory is a music and arts enterprise curating exhibitions and producing limited edition vinyl packaging in collaboration with artists and designers. Combining a logotype with a series of experimental mark making techniques Village Green created a simple identity system that is used across a number of
promotions and applications.

NIKE USA
Images of Lebron James commissioned for Nike USA. These collages reflect the flash heavy, spontaneous nature of the photography using folded paper to create naive yet imposing imagery.

FAB AFRICA
Fab Africa make a line of home furnishings and clothing based on the use of authentic African fabrics. These illustrations were created to capture the bold and vibrant nature of traditional batik process used for the fabrics.

Village Green were featured way back in 2009 so it would be an understatement to call this feature long overdue ;) With that said, much of VG’s recent work resonates with me for effortlessly mixing restraint (which I love) with hand-made elements. Up until this point, I couldn’t name a site that featured their work at this kind of scale online, so someone (namely me) had to do it ;)

For those of you that don’t know, Village Green is a creative studio and workshop whose approach combines intuition, innovation and research underpinned by clear ideas and meticulous executions. Their disciplines include branding, graphic art, image making, art direction and moving image.

  1. A refreshing collection of work — Not a foil in sight ;)

  2. I think I’m right in thinking Village Green was formed by some of the guys from the now defunct Blue Source and Love. Good to see them carrying on the good work. The Vinyl Factory identity is lovely. The fusing of a classic considered typeface with random paint marks works beautifully with just the use of black and white. Great work folks.

    I love the ‘Dan Eldon’ feel of the Fab Africa work.

  4. The Vinyl Factory identity is fantastic.

  5. Beautiful work! Especially for the Vinyl Factory!

  6. Pete

    The Nike posters are amazing. Up there with the Hort Lebron James work!

  7. The Fab Africa and Mark Ronson work is just beautiful—powerful simplicity. And I love that Garage Gothic got used for the Ronson job; nice seeing some old-school Tobias Frere-Jones in use.

  8. I’ve been playing Mark Ronson on repeat for several weeks now. Never intended to find the designer of the album and campaign, so this was a nice surprise. I like how the grungy layered effect kind of represents Ronson’s remix style. Nice work from Village Green.

  9. Lovely work, have been a fan for quite sometime. Vinyl Factory is beautiful and always enjoyed the Mark Ronson work they did. Fab Africa work is refreshing and like GeeDee said the aesthetic feel of Dan Eldon is there, which is great.

  10. Massive fan of the juxto – visual languages going on for Mark Ronson and Fab Africa.

    Love how the ideas are met with pin point production.

    Top work.

    Man I’d love to have prints of Fab Africa. Wonderful vibe, color and randomness.
