Cheka Kidogo - Rankin on the Southbank

After a nice drink in the bar at the BFI this afternoon I had a stroll down the Southbank and a wander through Rankins portraits for Oxfam from the refugee camps of the Congo, called Cheka Kidogo. As you'd expect they were all stunning images on his trademark white background, but great to see the portraits defy the usual war victim style images and shine out as real people with individuality and personality. Check out the full range here and here

Benchmarks

Tuesday night I took a trip to the Benchmark awards, courtesy of Purpose, where Pierpoint's identity was up for an award. Unfortunately we didn't win the award but were there only ones in the cosmetics category to make it into the book. Hat-trick managed to scoop a fair few awards including the best in show for the Sumatran Orangutan Society identity, above.

Curated by Studio 8, 12 illustrators such as Si Scott and Tom Gauld were asked to design a poster based on one of the 12 days of Christmas. Si Scotts above, see more here
