Jim Tierney has finished more illustrative designs for his ambitious Senior Thesis Project of redesigning Jules Verne book classics. We were impressed when we saw earlier versions of the cover designs. Now that the full packages are revealed (complete with interactive parts), we are blown away. Jim Tierney is working towards a BFA in Illustration at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Silk brand soy milk packaging redesign and logo refresh

We recently noticed on the shelf a tweaked package design for Silk soy milk. At first glance we didn’t notice a significant difference other than cleaner imagery and the addition and removal of certain taglines. But once we take a better look at the packages side by side, we realize that the logo has been modified letter by letter, but still retains much of the original aesthetic.

So far we can’t find any coverage online about this specific branding refresh of the Silk soy milk flavor line. But we did find several articles from earlier this year about the Silk brand agency transition from Berlin Cameron to Leo Burnett in partnership with Seed Strategy. (as always, if you have more information about the design credits/back story please leave comments).

CMYK magazine redesign, cover to cover, hits shelves in November 2009:

From following CMYK’s twitter, we learned of the unveiling for the magazine’s new front cover. The freshly redesigned cover is just a preview of the full design overhaul we’ll get to read all about in upcoming issue #45. Designer Ronald J. Scala II played a heavy role in the publication’s visual refresh. The redesign isn’t all about aesthetics and numerous editorial changes have been made, resulting in “more fluidity and cohesion.” CMYK is swapping out their old tagline of “inspiring visual communication,” with “create, showcase, inspire,” and we can anticipate more international content.

“CMYK has been working extra hard to put the finishing touches on its 45th issue. To date CMYK has published more than 4,000 pieces of creative from over 3,500 aspiring professionals across the globe, handpicked for publication by 180 of the most celebrated creative professionals in communication art. So what better way to celebrate this major milestone than with a cover-to-cover redesign…”

As students, CMYK was one of our favorite, must-read magazines. While in college we always associated the publication with student portfolio work and career advice. After graduating it was a great mag to occasionally pick up when looking for illustrators to hire. We think the magazine’s new approach will be more appealing to creative professionals, without neglecting CMYK’s strong student audience. The visual squares on the cover instantly engage the viewer, and give an enticing glimpse of the diversity to be found within the pages.

On a side note: We’re also really looking forward to reading “Remembering Shigeo Fukuda” and “Inside the Mind of Christoph Niemann.” (Maybe it’s time to reconsider a subscription)

The cover of issue #44 features a cut paper illustration by Jared Schorr, titled Paper Cuts. Jared Schorr is a recent graduate of Art Center College of Design. Is this the last student or recent grad given the honor to have their work showcased full-bleed on the cover of CMYK?

Burger King redesign rolls out to 12,000 locations worldwide:

The company said the new design, called “20/20” at the Miami-based chain, is already in place at about 60 locations around the world. Burger King expects about 75 more redesigned restaurants to be open by the end of next year. But it will take years before all its locations are transformed. — via AP

This looks only somewhat reminiscent to their Whopper Bar, which was announced more than 7 months ago.
