Nightjar Studio created this incredible website for Sonoma Baking Co’s new documentary series that tells the story of bread in a number of different countries across the world.
With considered typography, a lovely black and white colour palette and some really smart use of mouseovers and other elements – this website is nothing short of perfection. Just like freshly baked bread!

We are so unbelievably proud to announce that current 3rd year BA Degree photography student, Coenraad Torlage has won the 2021 Student Competition Sony World Photography Awards.
“Torlage impressed the judges with his response to the second brief ‘Our Time’ where students were challenged to show a story describing the way their contemporaries see the world and how they plan to change it” – World Photography Organisation
Official Info from their website:
A huge well done to Coenraad Heinz Torlage (South Africa) for winning this year’s Student Photographer of the Year for his series Young Farmers. He is awarded €30,000 of Sony digital imaging kit for his institution plus global online coverage. Torlage impressed the judges with his response to the second brief ‘Our Time’ where students were challenged to show a story describing the way their contemporaries see the world and how they plan to change it.
And here’s Coenie in his own words, explaining his rationale behind the work:
Young Farmers | Coenraad Heinz Torlage
I was born on a farm in South Africa, and grew up with cattle, horses, donkeys and chickens, many of which I still own and love to this day. Farming is an intense occupation that requires passion and unwavering dedication. I set out to photograph young people who choose this life because, like me, they believe they have a responsibility. This sits heavily on all of our shoulders. South Africa is an unpredictable land with severe droughts, safety concerns and debates around land ownership. Despite these challenges, young farmers are working toward a fairer and more equitable future of sustainable food security. They are my peers, my friends and my family, and this is our time to feed the nation.
To say we are over the moon is an understatement! We are so happy and so proud of Coenie and our lecturers who have helped guide him through his journey with us at the Academy.

This multimedia project for POLA, a Japanese skincare brand, uses really clever illustration and design in the multimedia space to bring a feeling of care to life. It’s interesting to think how a lot of work online can potentially end up feeling quite cold or sterile but this work has managed to capture care and humanity so well, while still delivering on the brand’s vision.
We love this!

What a hard hitting campaign by Colenso BBDO for WWF! By using a scary fact and smart art direction they were able to show us just how bad microplastics in the oceans are.
Let that be a lesson to us all!
