STORE SNAPS - dunelm

Today's Friday Eye Candy features some store snaps from a recent visit to my local Dunelm. Dunelm are British retailers who specialise in homeware and last week ,as the shops are now open again,  I browsed through their curtain and bedding department to see what prints and patterns I could find.

PACKAGING DESIGN

Today's post is all about packaging design. This is an area not just reserved for the graphic designer, but it can also be a great place for surface designers and illustrators to get involved. One of the more exciting collaborators around at the moment is Coco Chocolatier who work with a great range of artists including Atelier Bingo, who featured in the book Print & Pattern Nature, and who also created the beautiful chocolate bar designs above and below.
Also from Coco Chocolatier two designs by Neasden Control Centre

And finally from Coco Chocolatier stylish geometric by Tom Pigeon

Also from Next some delicate florals found on scented home products....




Barcelona based Hey Studio created some colourful geometric based designs on beer cans for brewery Carvelle
