If those are your last names, as designers, you have an obligation to start a sweet ass studio. That’s what Sofie Hannibal and Nan Na Hvass did in 2006. The work they’ve produced since is even more impressive than their moniker.
The duo has worked in damn near every format imaginable (awards, interiors, print, textiles, environmental, etc etc) and it’s never diluted their trademark style. Something to aspire to.

One of my favorite aspects of working at Wieden+Kennedy is that I get to be around and be inspired by so many amazing artists, many of whom have been featured here. Today—let’s add Ramon Coronado and his side business to that list. His bio is impressive and humbling—and so is he. Public-Library is a non-traditional design group formed by himself and equally as impressive Marshall Rake.
Keywords: Swiss inspired, experimental and well-considered typography, unexpected and superbly executed design.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, editorial illustrations are insanely hard. Harder still is developing your own consistent style through a breadth of work. Harder still is keeping shit simple and attractive. Meet Jesse Lefkowitz, magazine bawse.

The great dudes behind Hoppy Press had a genius idea. Why not create quality art for homebrewers? There are only so many homebrew kits you can buy your brother-in-law, right?
More info, pics and screenprinting process picks after the jump!

Now that the London Olympics have (sadly) come to an end, we can all go back to watching crap reality TV. Oh, and getting excited about Sochi and Rio.
After the not so warm reception of the London 2012 logo a while back, it’s nice to see a really beautiful logo waiting in the wings for 2016. Below is a short film about the agency and thinking that went into Rio’s Olympic logo.

Axel von Friesen and Petter Törnqvist make up the Swedish design studio 1:2:3. Their projects range from video to books to paintings (as evidenced by the beautiful one pictured above). Spend some time on their site to get the full effect.

Derrick Castle is a talented illustrator from Nashville TN. I stumbled across Derrick’s work on dribbble and really liked his tattoo infused illustration style. Wood block carvings are tight. You can get your hands on his prints at his etsy store or wear his art at big cartel.

Excellent geometric illustrations in the personal portfolio of Spanish designer/illustrator Maria Corte. I love the idea of being so free flowing within such a structured style.

A/ I really need everyone on the East Coast to go see this.
B/ “Co-organized by Andrew Blauvelt of the Walker Art Center and Ellen Lupton of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Graphic Design—Now in Production is the single largest exhibition of contemporary graphic design to take place in the United States in over 15 years.”
C/ Imagine being tasked (BY THE WALKER!!) to create an identity system and exhibit space for this. No big deal right?
Project Projects does it, again. They continue to create beautiful, meaningful, time-sensitive but also timeless work that strikes by simplicity and conceptual strength, by printed matter and exhibition design. Just incredible (and rad).

Deutsche & Japaner produce an amazing array of beautifully conceptual and immaculately executed work. Posters, books, records, online, editorial, products—RAD. I’m a little green with envy (it’s a happy green, don’t worry).
Great clients + great designers + in my homecountry. YAY DEUTSCHLAND!
Happy Friday, friends. Read the rest of this entry »
