Comments Off on Karl OttoTypography
Since I would struggle to do justice to the description I was sent of the Karl Otto website, I thought instead that it might be easier to just pull a quote directly from the email I was sent: “The site prominently contains the “collection” what is a library of original works by Karl Otto made available through the Internet. The collection is formed as a social instrument, working with all aspects of graphic design and should be approached as a raw material that is acted upon or used as a building material to construct a variety of expressions.“

Comments Off on Claudia BaselGraphic Design
I apologize for being born in a country where you are discouraged to learn a second language which helps explain why I can’t read nearly anything at the Claudia Basel studio website. It doesn’t take a second language to see clearly however that there is some striking examples of graphic design within the Claudia Basel portfolio that are worth laying eyes on regardless of your linguistic capabilities.

Comments Off on RetrofutursGraphic Design
Rétrofuturs (Hulk4598) is the work of graphic designer and illustrator Stéphane Massa-Bidal. She recently completed a Penguin-book-cover-inspired series of posters centered around the theme of web services. They are available to purchase and are seriously worth checking out. They made my ‘design’ day. Sorry that sounds so nerdy but it’s true. The subhead inside joke on the FFFFound cover with the word ‘register’ crossed out is pretty hilarious.

“Founded by Natasha Shah and Chris Hilton, Design Friendship is well just that, a friendship born through a love of design. Nat & Chris met while working together in 2003 and have been friends ever since.”
It’s a lucky thing they decided to solidify that friendship into a design firm as well because they have some absolutely beautiful work in their collective portfolio.
