“A young brewery that thinks big! We designed this packaging for a small brewery in Milan. The beers’ names are inspired by galaxies, and the illustrations want to express the character of the different typology of beer.”

Dry Design was founded in 2010 by the collaboration of Carolina Cloos and Francesca Mezzetti. It’s a young, but not inexperienced reality. Analyze customer needs and find the best solution to combine imagination and rationality, graphic visual clarity and consistency is our approach to each new project. Our work ranges from print to web.

Idea: We created the world’s first coffee packets that people can take home and drink coffee in: The Coffee Planet Coffee Mugs. The coffee beans came in a packet inside. And you took home a fantastic looking free mug that you’d love to wake up with. A Mild, Mild-Medium, Medium, Medium-Strong, Strong or an Extra Strong brand reminder to the consumers every morning.”

BA(HONS) Graphic Design: Batch Book

This project was set by George Hardy. We had to create a series of 5 books. They could be the same, they could be different. We had a budget of £5 and had to push the boundaries of what a book can be. One of the questions to answer was how to show it was yours if it was picked up in a bookshop years down the line when you are famous. I dealt with this my putting my face on the cover as well as my name.

I initially started with the idea of a Russian-doll-style book, so a book within a book within a book. The subject matter I chose to link to this structure was food chains. The idea being that each book would consume the next and each book would be about one animal, so in theory the biggest book (predator) eats the smaller book (prey) and so on and so forth. I liked the idea of the book showing the food pyramid as well. So, when the book(s) are flattened/layered on top of each other you get an accurate food chain, with the predator at the top. I designed two different books because I couldn’t decide which I liked more. One has pockets on the back page, which holds the next book. The other is sewed together down the spine, but gives the same effect when flattened.

Fighting Street Harassment Online
Dhruv Arora lives in Delhi, India, and he’s had enough. Enough of rape, enough of harassment and enough of the belief that what women wear has something to do with it. 
“I am tired of people getting harassed on the street. I am tired of victim bashing. I am tired of people saying it happened because she was ‘inappropriately dressed,’” says the 24-year-old engineering student.
And so, in January of last year, Arora and a friend — outraged by the story of a 22-year-old woman raped by a cab driver, then blamed for it in the press — decided to do something about it. They created a Tumblr with a simple request: send in photos of what you were wearing when you were harassed on the street, along with your story. Consider it a personal form of protest.

A guide of “Good Morning” has designed for this. It provides the information of the brand assets,i.e. why having a good morning is important, the ways to achieve and maintain the consistence.

Using graphic as a tool to transform this intangible concept into a tangible substance, 11 booklets has been design according to different tpic related to morning. With this guideline people could find out and re-organize their own life, and finally spread out the positive value of having a good start in a day is the principal to the society.”

"For the present we can say that creativity is not only the fresh perception of new meanings, and the ultimate enfoldment of this perception within the manifest and the somatic, but I would say that it is ultimately the action of the infinite in the sphere of the finite – that is, this meaning goes to infinite depths."
