Container Plus Lecture

Container Plus came in to give a lecture about there company today.
Container Plus are a multi-disaplinary art and design company, they specialise on creating fantasy worlds across a multitude of 2D and 3D platforms.

Luise Vormittag met Nicola Carter when studying Graphic Design at University. Both were unsure what to do with there lives after graduating. So they decided to stick together and set up their own company. they started off by setting up a joint website containing two sepreate portfolio's. Both didnt really have a plan in what to do, they took both portfolio's with them when visiting agencies. 

Among the previous work carried out between the pair is the Lab Cafe display they created for Selfridges in 2004. They were do design an installation for Selfridges Lab Cafe, Oxford Street, London. It was a permanent installation that took four weeks of Saturdays working on the design. They split the design up in to sections between them, to lower the work load. Louise created the heads, line drawings and Nicola created the bodies, colour and style. 
Below is the created Lab Cafe display: 

 

 

Another previous example of work is the Vaulkswagon Fox car launch. 

The idea was to design of 4 rooms at Copenhagen's creative lifestyle hotel, designed for the launch of Volkswagen's FOX, 2005. the hotel was transformed by 20 different designers and then journalists stayed in the decorated rooms. Container Plus were given four rooms to decorate, they created four different stories to decorate the rooms with, these all included playing cards. 
The rooms they completed are shown below:

Another installation created is the Art Car. They only got asked the day before the installation was to be completed so with no time they just threw it together.

Other design work they have created will be shown below:

Charles Worthington  - It goes to your head. Created illustrative advert.

Art exhibition in Germany. Evil Twins. 2006.

After the evil twins project they had an idea to expand company to Patrica, Victoria and Anne making it 5 people in total.  All the new recuits had all had previous experience in the design area. After a year of all working together it just didnt work so they broke back down to just 2 people again. They then went on to be a 3 again, with Patricia re-joining the group and still all work together today. they hae carried on to work for companies such as Topshop and Sony.
