History & Heroes
Branding • Packaging • Digital • Product Design
History & Heroes is where the curious can seek new favourites, old classics, and everything in between. We create limited edition collections of objects and stories centered around film and music movements. Every collection explores a genre by highlighting its history, the heroes who started it all and the trailblazers of today.
Design objects are made with local makers. We curate objects to be functional, environmentally conscious and delightfully educational.
This project is made with fellow cinephile Rachel Noonan.
Brand Development
The concept for H&H’s visual identity follow these ideas:
a) the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
b) we experience life through textures
c) nostalgia, nostalgia, new! nostalgia
Layers of Texture
We designed an icon that is modular and emulates the objects found in each box and use scrapbook style layouts to create layers of texture and nostalgia.
Content Creation
Animated and static content showcasing the relationship between film and music for use on social media and the website.
Collection No. 1 – Noir
This collection includes a screen printed tote, a jasmine scented soy wax candle, a matchbox, a colour changing mug, and a design print with a list of the essential Noir films.
A Portion of Every Sale
