Michael Paul Young who is one half of We Work For Them/You Work For Them has launched a new website for his personal work. He has some really stunning, what I would call ‘abstract graphic expressionist’ work in his portfolio. He also has a really gorgeous video project (that you can watch above) completed for none other than U2.

I just managed to somehow stumble upon Poster Cabaret this morning and was absolutely amazed at the treasure trove of great design and just beautifully composed posters ranging from art prints to gig posters within their vault. There is so much there I would like to take home that it will be tough to make up my mind. I will definitely be checking back to see what they stock in the future. Good way to decorate your home.

Yotam Hadar has a really unusual portfolio with some really interesting print work. I almost didn’t know what to make of it at first but the more I looked the more I liked. He is really talented and just takes a very different approach the each project. It appears he really looks to see the forest through the trees and takes in the whole project from a gestaltist perspective addressing all the parts in the process.

Here is a little more on his background from his website:

Jim Coudal of Coudal Partners was interviewed at Design Glut and had some really inspiring things to say about putting yourself first as your number one client. Of course this has to be prefaced with an ability to accept risk and generate good ideas, but Coudal says you shouldn’t wait. Get out there and shake it up. He offers up some really inspiring anecdotes about his road to success and there is definitely some fuel in the interview to help stoke the entrepreneureal fires for those with a passion for creativity. It definitely made me want to take a closer look at what I am doing and get off my butt.

Discovered via The Denver Egotist.

Designer/artist, James Joyce has made some small updates to his lyrical portfolio since I last checked in. I appreciate the simple and bold graphic approach to much of his work. Oh dollar bill, you’re so funny and yet inconsolably evil. Wait, is that irony?
