Daniel Eatock never fails to amuse. (Fun disguised as project research.)

Finally Framed



I have finally framed my twelve vintage Stork cookery books, all dating from around the 1960's and 70's. I am really pleased with how the framing turned out. I'm glad I opted for a two sided glass frame as you can see the great backs as well as the front cover. Also the books haven't been compromised when mounting. The frame was from the Habitat sale and was a snip, the books were an Christmas present from the OK Corral online store. Click here to see what they have on offer. The next job now is to hang this monster of a frame and I feel it may be my first foray into D.I.Y...

Jme range by Jamie Oliver and Pearlfisher




I only came across this range of Jamie Oliver food recently when in a small town on the south coast. It immediately caught my attention. Not because it was by Jamie Oliver, quite the opposite. The typography, colours and illustrations that have been used seem to create a fresh branding approach. Of corse the handmade graphics/ witty approach has been done before, but this range seems to have something special about it. With each different product there was a different graphic response. Whether it was lemon curd or tartar sauce, they were all treated individually, but still as a whole. I found myself wanting to stand there for hours looking at the different jars, packets and bottle and I definitely wanted to take them all home. They were all designed by Pearlfisher London, an agency that I hadn't previously heard of, but they seem to be big players in the branding industry.

Jenny Bowers

Is an illustrator that I've just come across whilst reading the latest issue of Elle Decoration. Really nice colourful illustrations, using both cut paper, paint and watercolous.
