Commonwealth Stacks has released some new skateboards that any self-confessed design and typography nerd will find wall-hang worthy. I am curious who designed these beauties.

Brazilian graphic design and animation studio Lobo has been animating graphics since the very idea of doing so started to become fashionable (at least in the capacity that it is done today).

They have stayed at the top of their game and are still one of the very best in the business.

It’s been a long time since I wrote about Brazilian design and creative studio Firmorama. They have since updated with a very slick website as well as an even slicker body of design work. It’s all very bright, fun and exciting. How much fun would it be to live in Southern Brazil producing excellent design?
Well there is no real arguing the talent of designer Darren Firth and you can start with his roster of experience to get a measure of his talent. Firth is the original founder of Occupy (then WIWP and is also a co founder and art director of the UK based studio, Six. He has updated with a long elegant scroll of brilliantly considered graphic design on his website. It’s all very understated, European and beautifully executed with a degree of confident maturity.
