'Working with brave clients to inspire people through simple, meaningful design. It's what we believe in.'

Believe in are a small studio based in Exeter, they believe in telling a story through a brand. They work both through digital and print as well as packaging and design for environment. The reason I have chosen this piece of work in particular is because of the use of dye cut, I like how the circular cut out leads back to the logo yet both compliment the rectangular format of the packaging and the product.

Big Fish are an award winning brand, design and marketing consultancy based in London. They have worked with some very big clients, I love the boldness of their work and how each piece of packaging is so different. This design for Yeo Valley is one of my favourite due to the hand rendered feel and the use of rich colours.
