Despite never writing a song or playing a note, Vaughan Oliver’s contribution to the alternative music subculture of the 1980s and 1990s was considerable and, to many, genre-defining. For much of his career, Oliver designed album sleeves for independent British music label 4AD, where his work routinely defied categorisation and themes. Watercolour-brushed barely-human forms, topless flamenco dancers and abstract monkeys, depicted in his signature gothic, surrealist and texture-heavy styles

While Black Friday and the holidays, in general, are a very competitive time period for retailers from coast to coast, this tends to fizzle heavily once Santa heads back to the North Pole. Not only do consumers have fewer reasons to get out, browse and shop, but the cold weather and snowy conditions certainly make it less appealing. When there's less foot traffic around and in your store, it may be more difficult to market your products, showcase upcoming sales and find other ways to intrigu

What do you think 2020 will hold for branding design? Branding will continue to focus on experience. People want meaningful experiences and the truth from brands. In-house agencies may have an advantage in delivering this because they are integrated with product teams, and know their customers and brand better than anyone. To stay relevant, traditional brand agencies will need to change their model, and focus more on substance, and less on the wrapper.

For instance, you only want your chocolate melting in your mouth, your flowers blooming, and your produce fresh and tasty. From dock to dock, those items must be maintained in a stable temperature, and that requires special storage and handling.
