I follow Felix Ng work for years... So it was on top of my list when I decided to go to Singapore past october... We almost miss each other, but finaly, we can spend some time talking about design and creativity... I was pleased to visit the SILNT studio he co-founded with Germaine Chong, and met Michael & Ben... To finaly share a nice typical Singapore dinner with amazing pepper crabs...









Here come a selection of the project done by the SILNT team, as well as Anonymous (same team, but non commercial projects).

listening Coldplay acoustic 2001 concert
I want to focus on some of the new project presented in the work section. When Paola contact me to design the identity of her project, I know we can do something unusal and without boundaries... She wants something artistic, organic and technical... why create one logo when you could have three ?
This is the artistic logo and the tools : letterhead, business card, tags, envelop and round stickers...


The organic one


and the technical one


She also wants to have letterpress buisness cards, so I adapt the design to letterpress technic and use the split fountain process (mixing inks during printing process) to be consistant with the other tools...






The tempory web site is a "morphing" of the different logos, check www.mymodusvivendi.com
Paola now instal her yoga room and send me these nice pictures of it, with the possible/impossible wall sticker and the letterpress coasters.
