Purpose English grid designs with a "purpose"  

Eng­land based graphic design firm, offer­ing what a lot of what you might expect, but a lit­tle more. These are some very good grid-​based designs, after review­ing some of their fea­tured work on their site, I noticed that they do a great job of incor­po­rat­ing some of the pop­u­lar hand-​written, blocky design (Juno-​esque) with the clean mod­ernism of the Swiss grid and typog­ra­phy. Very cool.

We cre­ate visual iden­ti­ties, print, exhi­bi­tion and pack designs for a vari­ety of clients, from indi­vid­u­als to global organizations.

  Idealismo A Swiss graphic design firm  

Ide­al­ismo is a graphic design firm based in Switzer­land. Their about sec­tion has only the fol­low­ing quote:

The grid sys­tem is an aid, not a guar­an­tee. It per­mits a num­ber of pos­si­ble uses and each designer can look for a solu­tion appro­pri­ate to his per­sonal style. But one must learn how to use the grid; it is an art that requires practice.”

  Publishers’ Palace The Unsangdong Architects  

Out of Seoul, South Korea, The Unsang­dong Archi­tects’ devised this pre­cise union of glass and timber

We know that we exist not as an indi­vid­ual, but as a unity of many, or even numer­ous indi­vid­u­als con­nected to each other. Cre­at­ing an Publisher’s space is not just set­ting up the exhi­bi­tion and office space and putting books in it, but draw­ing a map that cov­ers all the works in the venue. It depends on the map how the viewer will appre­ci­ate the space and books. Through the , I have sought to insert ‘the ves­sel of new topog­ra­phy’ into homo­ge­neous space. ‘The ves­sel of new topog­ra­phy.’ an inter­ven­tion of a new imag­i­na­tion into the space, works as imag­i­nary texts like those of Jorge Luis Borges. We will make-​the “Con­tour Topog­ra­phy” a space for the new experience.

  Labor Market Intelligence Infographics the way God intended  

Dis­play­ing heavy sta­tis­ti­cal infor­ma­tion in an inter­est­ing and acces­si­ble way.

Aimed at careers advis­ers with no pre­vi­ous knowl­edge of the fash­ion and tex­tiles sec­tor, the Labour Mar­ket Intel­li­gence doc­u­ment is a report full of facts & fig­ures relat­ing to the fash­ion and tex­tiles indus­try. Our brief was to design an impact­ful, acces­si­ble and engag­ing pub­li­ca­tion to help careers pro­fes­sion­als under­stand this com­plex indus­try so they could advise their clients appro­pri­ately. With no bud­get for pho­tog­ra­phy or illus­tra­tion, data was pre­sented in a num­ber of graph­i­cal ways, empha­sis­ing key facts, set­ting the pace of the doc­u­ment and adding vari­ety to the pub­li­ca­tion. The use of large scale for­mat, and micro die cut detail­ing, ensured the report gained the desired response.
