Refreshing pieces of graphic design using different supports like collage, photo montage, photography and image manipulation by Lucy Clift from Sydney (Australia). Even if the designs and sets are hand made the final designs are very neat and cool in a bizarre way…
Geometrical and really often based on circles illustrations and designs by Michael Paukner. Although it looks really clean and simple Michael’s work is none the less pleasing especially in terms of background textures. Keeping things simple but attractive is something that is always harder than it may seem and Michael Paukner really is a pro in my view for that. Simple. Efficient.
Graphic design and illustrations by German designer Kai Esselhorst. Kai’s portfolio is full of intricate, nicely laid out and well balanced designs and illustrations. His photography section is however a bit of a let down compared to his design skills and the rest of his work.
Colourful and quite geometrical designs by Netherlands graphic designer Rik Oostenbroek aka NKeo.
Some excellent pieces of graphic design but also web design by Belgian designer Peter Eeckelaert aka Nitras. I’ve never been a big fan of full Flash websites (especially in the recent years) but this one is actually quite easy to navigate and without too much animation or distraction going around at the same time (except the music). Nitras‘ graphic designs are modern, maybe a tad fashionable but the result is always nicely laid out and well balanced. Even though the tones are often cold, the shapes used always bring some dynamique in the composition.
Excellent digital art pieces by Marc Simonetti who has been working for giant in computer games like activision, sony, EA, ubisoft, and many others. I particularly like the last 4 in this sample with the Asian style theme…
About a year ago I showcased the sublime work of UK based designer Sean Freeman. Randomly this week I found some of Sean’s recent designs and was amazed by his improvment! I didn’t think it would be possible to improve because he had such incredible skills already; but he managed it! The selection above is just a sample of his work showing how much details and efforts he can put in his creations. Sean Freeman really has an eye for typography, movement, and his constant search for perfection makes him a target of choice for big companies like Nike, The Guardian, The New York Times and many more to hire his services… For more examples of Sean’s work please visit his website thereis.co.uk.
Some interesting illustrations by this Birmingham based young illustrator Tahgasa Bertram aka Sweaty Eskimo.
Large scale drawings and illustrations by Jennifer Wroblewski based in New Jersey. Her work is based on mark making and the use of rythm and feelings to create the drawings. Jennifer mainly uses charcoal for her artworks. Her series new momuments to the anticoncept and large abstractions are my favourites although I quite enjoy the use of colours in new collaboration and the great sense of abstraction in her self portraits. Jennifer’s work reminds me slightly of Jose Parla’s art minus the calligraphy feel.
I’ve discovered about Big Fish through their packaging design and branding for Dorset Cereals. They actually won an Award for best branded packaging design for this product line… All Big Fish’s work is outstanding and looks like it’s been deeply thought through to create the best visual appeal possible. It’s not only about the quality of the visuals though, but also about the overwhole concept and ideas transmitted with the branding in order to promote the products to the right people with the right message. Not surprising then to see in their client list names like Abercrombie & Kent, BBC, Coca-Cola, Dorset Cereals, Fanta, Gu…
