Instagram / Apr 1, 2020 Here’s a tiny preview of our new identity. We asked our favourite creative studio @violaineetjeremy to refresh our agency’s branding, and are really excited to share some of the results with you. Our new website is currently under development, so this post is actually the only place where you’ll come across our new branding. For now.⁠⠀⁠⠀Violaine & Jérémy’s task was to create a custom typeface and a set of logos and monograms for us. We wanted the new identity to feel luxurious yet playful. Personable yet utterly professional. The branding needed to reflect the way we do things; we offer bespoke services whilst championing craftsmanship, quality and originality. Here’s what Violaine & Jérémy came up with. We’re huge fans of their work, so our expectations were ridiculously high, but we think they still exceeded them.⁠⠀⁠⠀We also asked illustrator @timlahan to create a set of custom icons for us. Here’s one of them. Tim, as always, really knocked it out of the park, and we can’t wait to share the rest of the icons with you. ⁠⠀⁠⠀Hope you all enjoy the work! Would love to hear what you think of our new identity. Thanks!⁠⠀⁠⠀#agentpekka #branding #logo #identity #violaineetjeremy #timlahan

Instagram / Nov 25, 2019 Here’s a little project to get you into the festive spirit. Cosmetics company @kiehls commissioned and worked with @janinerewell to create a special collection of holiday gifts as part of a new product series, sales of which will go towards the brand giving a minimum of $100,000 to a charity called Feeding America. Called upon to make sure these gift sets flew off the shelves and as much money as possible was raised was Janine, who rose to the challenge splendidly. After pitching some character illustrations and ideas for patterns, Kiehl’s flew Janine to their New York HQ to show her just how extensive the project would be. “Working with the Kiehl’s in-house art directors and designers, we started developing my illustrations to be used in all of the various mediums and to be coherent with the colours and feel of the Kiehl’s brand,” says Janine. “The main visuals include patterns, classic New York city characters, posters, tote bags, product design, packaging design, advent calendars… The Kiehl’s team used these to create animations and store around the world.” Janine’s pretty chuffed about this commission. “My first clear memory of Kiehl’s was when I saw the Christmas packaging that @craigandkarl had designed for the brand’s Christmas campaign,” she recalls. “I remember admiring it and wishing that I would get this kind of brand collaboration one day.” #kiehls #janinerewell #agentpekka #illustration #collaboration #holidays #christmas

Instagram / Oct 2, 2019 Many of you sci-fi fans will have rejoiced about the new #DarkCrystal series on @netflix, a spin off from Jim Henson’s 1982 film. @la_boca_ were invited to create the poster for the series which, for them, was a very exciting prospect. “I’ve been a fan of anything connected to Jim Henson since childhood, so this was one of those dream projects that don’t come up very often,” says La Boca’s Scot Bendall. “At the time the series was still under production, but we were able to watch some episodes quite early, even before all of the FX had been implemented. It was quite funny still seeing the puppeteers in some shots before they had been edited out. I loved that the show was being created using puppeteers rather than the usual overload of CGI. I also watched the original movie again as reference, and had forgotten just how creepy it was at the time.” The team designed the poster inspired by the crystal itself, and brought in a rich, art nouveau vibe inspired by the set design. “I created the texture on the vines by scanning a banana with Adobe Capture on an iPhone. We wanted the poster to have a sort of fantastical feel, but to still be quite graphic. We didn’t want to re-create a scene from the show, but to create something that added to the experience, almost like you could imagine the poster on a wall in [the main character] Brea’s bedroom.”⁠⠀⁠⠀#thedarkcrystal #netflix #jimhensoncompany #darkcrystal #laboca #poster #illustration #typography #agentpekka

Instagram / Aug 13, 2019 Antti Kalevi isn’t one for sharing sketches or unfinished work, which is why it’s quite the treat to see his process in these roughs he put together for a new publication about the decadent offerings of St. Moritz (@stmoritz). Antti’s block-colour collage work usually sees him simplify the world through abstract shapes to make it sing in a clear, joyous voice. He generally sketches in colour straight from the beginning and keep things as original as possible, which makes it all the more interesting to see what happens when he experiments with line sketching a stage before the colours arrive. “This project might not be ideal to describe my creative process,” Antti admits. “I have tried different ways of working during the past years and learned that for me it works best to sketch directly in colour straight from the beginning and then try to keep things original without making big changes after that.” The reason Antti decided to share the sketches on Instagram was because he’d like to make more pencil/line drawings in the future, and perhaps combine pencil drawings with paper cutting. “I think these sketches look natural and relaxed, which is something I try to aim for in my work,” says Antti. “This project was a good fit from that perspective. I think I actually might even like the pencil sketches more than the finished work!” @anttikalevi #illustration #sketch #process #anttikalevi #agentpekka

foam Studio Reel

foam Studio Berlin’s new reel is absolutely mesmerizing. We could watch this stuff all day.

Instagram / Jul 4, 2019 Can you guess what these images by @timlahan are? They were created in early 2019, inspired by a roadside sign he passed during a drive up a coastal highway in California. “Since I was coming from the wrong direction I was never able to see the front of the sign, but was more fascinated by the backside of it,” Tim recalls. “It had a rag tag assortment of two-by-four boards supporting its strange shape as if it were barely holding itself together for years, maybe even decades.” Getting to work with gouache, Tim decided to recreate the backs of these signs as a series of images to honour the kinship he felt with them. “I began to reflect on the complex ways we compose ourselves as people despite what we might present on our facades,” Tim explains. “This could also carry over to a more institutional critique about commercial messaging in general. I think one could guess what would be on the front of the signs, but I’m more interested in the bones of the construction and the relational quality there as opposed to the sign’s utility as a wayfinding device.” #timlahan #agentpekka #gouache #roadsign
