Karim Rashid for HUGO

HUGO Man Exclusive Limited Edition3HUGO Man Exclusive Limited Edition4

"To celebrate the illustrious bottle, HUGO Fragrances has invited Karim to create an Exclusive Limited Edition Bottle and packaging. The 1000 numbered bottles are available in less than 25 flagships world-wide as well as the Galleries Lafayette in Berlin and Sephora Champs Elysses in Paris.

Inspired by the shape of the robust army water flask with its silver screw top and green canvas strap, the non-conformist design of the original HUGO Man flacon instantly captured the creativity of the free-thinking young men for whom the fragrance was designed. Karim used his strong vision to design a functional new concept. Inspired by the fluidity of the fragrance, the bottle and packaging are adorned with unique digital data-fluid graphic effects signifying a rocky terrain and a flowing topography. All editions are put together by hand."

Student Spotlight: Christine Clayton

Modelcars_small 

Christine Clayton has just graduated (on friday!) from Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA.

"Gossamer (top) is a boutique hotel for which I created the concept and complete brand identity. The hotel is located in Seattle, which is also known as the Jet City and home to Boeing and The National Museum of Flight. The hotel is a boutique brand and is based on the idea of flight and gets its name from the Gossamer Albatross-- the first human powered flight machine. I wanted something for the brand which would speak directly to the client, so I created in-room packaging items.

Roosters Rise (middle): I created a logo and brand identity for a beer released by The Oregon Brewing Co. called Roosters Rise. The recipe is based on an 1800's english recipe and I sought to embody that heritage with the logo's use of blackletter which forms the Rooster.

Mattel Muscle Car Packaging (bottom): The concept was ti create a new line of product packaging for Mattel Muscle model cars. Across the board, all brands of model car packaging look stale, bland and often very outdated. I wanted to add punch and liveliness to an otherwise unappealing category of packaging."

Additional images and one more project after the jump.
