Branding & Packaging for Takk by Encrite

“The outdoors ensures an escape for the overloaded mind. We are convinced that it is important to let nature become a bigger part of your daily life. In Norway they have a word for this, called ‘Friluftsliv’ that literally means ‘open air living’. That’s why we came up with the idea to handmake these natural soy candles with a scent of the Nordic nature. With this candle we want to share our inspiration and bring a little bit of nature back inside.”

A Rotterdam based creative & production studio that works for brands and agencies. Encrite integrates concept, creation and production under one roof! They support new companies, get brands started and refresh existing ones by branding, visual design, film, photography and content creation. Within their assignments and clients, they are always looking for diversity, new adventures and challenges.

3 Essential Design Trends, February 2019 | Webdesigner Depot

This month, we are looking and some rather obvious visual trends in web design. While some trends are rooted more in the user experience or cool JavaScript, others are purely aesthetic. That's what you'll see on the list this month. From color to shapes to a style of photography, here's a look at what's trending this month. Black and White Black and white design patterns are timeless and classic. They have a feeling of sophistication that can work with projects of all kinds. And while most people immediately think "black and white" photos, black and white patterns can extend to other elements in a website design as well – navigation, typography, video, etc. The neat thing about black and white website designs is that unlike print, where black and white was the common standard for newspapers, books and magazines for a long time (and still to some degree today), it stands out because of the lack of color. The richness of black and white on a screen allows for depth of visuals as well.
