The first Brown & White site launch

It’s an exciting day for Mr Brown and I, we’ve just launched our first site since forming Brown and White Creative at the end of last year.

We worked closely with illustrator Andy Ward to create a site that would really compliment his illustrative style. We began by designing a template that would become the structure for the site then handed the designs over to Andy, so he could fill the spaces with his work and treat some of the type, such as the navigation, with fonts he had created himself.

This method worked extremely well and we were thrilled when Andy told us we’d really inspired him with our ideas for how he could use the space. Once Andy had created the artwork Rebecca Vaughan took the reins and brought his illustrations to life with some beautiful flash animation.

We’d like to thank everyone who worked on the site and we hope the new site brings Andy lots of luck (and work) in the future! Take a look at andyward.co.uk

Bookmarked

One of those lovely, simple “God I wish I’d thought of that” ideas. Bookmarks that complete the jacket design, perfect.

Punk as fuck

Drawn by Eric apparently.

Baby, it’s cold outside!

Like a lot of people, I took the camera out and got a few shots of the coldest winter in 30 years. Our dog Chloé LOVES it and so do I!

This last shot is the frozen river!

Paper wings

I can’t imagine the amount of skill, patience and general brilliance that it took to create these magnificient paper wings for Hermés. Aren’t they spectacular! More of Benja Harney’s work on Paperform.

Merry Christmas Deer

Christmas is coming, it’s snowing outside and I’ve made a little paper Christmas deer! But I’m kicking myself because I can’t remember where I saw the calendar that inspired it. I’ll keep looking and hopefully it will come back to me.

You can download my A4 template (PDF)  if you’d like to make your own, they’d do a great job as name cards on the Christmas dinner table.I’d recommend printing on heavyweight paper if you have some, otherwise they might be a little bit too flimsy to stand up, and that would be sad!

Merry Christmas!!
