Oggau Wine

As stated on LovelyPackage:

“The Oggau Estate is a new wine growing estate that produces 9 wines with different characters. Each wine has its own individual character with its own story and complex, changing relationships. A wine family comprising of grandparents, parents and children with intrigue, secret affairs, arguments, colourful characters and the odd black sheep. A typical family clan.”

Macdonald and Thompson

Linking in to my initial ideas for the second part of the What is Good? briefing, I came across these two business cards today during the stocks and substrates seminar with Justin. Although they were aimed to detail what stocks are available to print on, as well as print finishes and paper coatings I mainly wanted to highlight aspects regarding layout... so I swiped them for photographing.

The main characteristic for me was how in both examples the type is set and aligned to the left hand side. Naturally this could be due to the way our culture reads from left to right, but perhaps if you consider that when a right handed person holds the card they also need to read it then you might see what I am trying to get at.

With business cards being a possible outlet for my What is Good? resolution, I feel that the typographical layout may be a strong design element that I need to address given that my focus is to promote and celebrate being left handed.

Jeeyun Michaella Chung

I originally came across Jeeyun Chung last week whilst documenting the left handed notebook I got as a gift over summer. Having been on her website it turns out that the book is part of a series where there are also designs specifically for right handed and ambidextrous people.

Right Handed:
Left Handed:
Ambidextrous/Both Handed:
I really like the way in which the problem of peoples writing has been addressed through a simple and logical approach to design. It's one of those 'why didn't I think of that?!' situations.

What's more the colour coding works really well given the books work in a series, I'm just a little disappointed that us lefties haven't been given the special treatment...again!

p.s the stock choice is archive text paper which in addition to being designed for long life and strength also has as very nice tangible quality believe me!

Notebook for Left Handed People

As part of my quest to find out about what is good with being left handed, I thought it would relevant to include this notebook that I got given as a gift from my house-mate over the summer break. Especially designed by Jeeyun Chung for people like me, the ruled lines along the pages are printed at a slant in order assist the non-smudging of ink when a left hander is writing. I think it's about time we had products especially designed for us, conforming to a right handed world can be rather irritating at times. It does have its benefits though I guess.

What's more the cover itself is a rather nice example of simple and straight forward design that is visually stimulating and conveys the message it needs to. I'm not sure however as to why green is always the colour used for left handers? Reminds of scissors in primary school. Anyway, I have to confess that I haven't actually used this notebook yet but I can definitely see the benefits it may have... I hate smudging my hand writing!
