Build

Build are a graphic design agency. Here is their manifesto:

We Trust: Our instinct. Strong creative instincts plus our combined experience help us to make powerful, relevant work

We Question: We listen; we question; we understand.  

We Believe: We believe in the power of good design. Design can influence people, change lives and make things better. 

We Ignore: Convention. A point of difference is not built from doing things the same way as everyone else. There is great value in being different

 We Are Responsible: We source materials and suppliers that are ethical and sustainable, we don’t just think it’s good practice; it should be a given.  

We Challenge: Preconceptions. It makes for a much more interesting world.  

We Look: To the future- but respect our collective heritage.

And I totally agree with all the points above. 

Above is packaging which is a response to the government proposing to sell cigarettes in plain white packaging to limit they're appeal.  Build, tried to design packaging which looked good while still warning smokers.
