ARK

NZFASHION.COM has been created by Daniel Drupsteen and Richard Munro as a platform for the New Zealand fashion industry to gain exposure locally and internationally. Along with the identity we created a website and an iphone application.

We created an identity for Mark Barber (photographer) that was stripped back and minimal. We believed that Mark's photos needed to be at the forefront of this site which in turn led us to a simple design on and off screen.

The word divine relates to divinity, simplicity, holiness and the heavens. The simplicity of the logo helps to emphasize the purity of the object and it's contents. The bottle's shape draws directly from nature with the inside form imitating the shape of a falling rain drop. Glasses were also created by simply slicing the bottle in half. All of the informational copy was placed on the side of the bottle so when viewed from the front, disappears from view. A bottle was designed for both the Chinese and New Zealand markets.
