Part 2 of our series, where we create randomly generated creative briefs for ourselves. All thanks to the Great Internet for its provision of parameters! Swipe left for close-ups!

This time, we had to design a label for the Bulgarian beer, 'Animal on Crossroads', taking inspiration from their folklore and traditional art.
The right/left-pointing arrows on the background motif symbolise the crossroads, while, of course, the animal is the royal lion.
I wonder what grave decision he has to make. Perhaps whether to have gazelle or wildebeest tonight for dinner.

Happy birthday Singapore! 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬

Here's something billy has been busy with: a series of paintings commissioned by our friends, Joshua and Dawn Goh, for their new firstborn son, Levi Stephen Goh.

These paintings depict some of their favourite characters, while symbolising three phases of relationship he would soon experience with them as parents:

• Protector (Mandalorian & Baby Yoda)
• Father/Mother (Simba & Mufasa)
• Friend (Woody & Buzz).

Which do you relate to most - Star Wars, Lion King, or Toy Story? Tell us in the comments! 👇👇👇

Icons can often convey meaning more quickly than words. They can surpass language barriers, draw attention to a particular part of a design, and take up much less space; all whilst providing the same meaning as written content! so if you're looking for simple ways to convey a message, icons could be the way to go!
