Alejandro Chavetta spends his days art directing San Francisco Magazine and the hours after making his deadlines creating some really interesting collages. The results of which you can currently see in his Behance portfolio.

A little about DIY straight from the horse’s mouth:
“DIY (do it yourself) is a graphic design studio founded in 2001 by Laurence Jaccottet, Philippe Cuendet and Ivan Liechti.

All three have a degree in “visual communication” from the ECAL (ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne) where they had the opportunity to participate at many workshops with renowned visiting professors like M/M, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Cornel Windlin, GTF, Scott Makela, James Goggin and many more.

One of the main objective for DIY is to create a multidisciplinary platform focused on graphic design. The ambition is to diversify the creativity, and to communicate through various media such as photography, music, styling, fashion, video, etc. Then, the agency is working for all kind of prestigious contractors in different fields such as edition, press, advertisement, multimedia, record industry and fashion.”

It has been a long long while since my last visit, and I might be wrong but it looks as though there have been a couple of small updates at Beauhouse. Regardless, it is worth a quick browse through their work for a little slice of inspiration.

Frank Chimero in his work and well, on himself:
“I’m inspired by the mid-century aesthetic, and in my work I try to recapture the sense of optimism, playfulness and heart that I see in things from that period. If the world needs anything right now, it’s a good dose of optimism and a big spoonful of “don’t take yourself so damn seriously.””

Amen to that Frank.

I have to admit, Siggeir M. Hafstensson’s halftone works on canvas are hands down some of the best works of design melded with art that I have found in quite some time. There are so many of them and every single one stands on it’s own as a unique work of contemporary art and design. They are just brilliant and it was impossible to choose just one to represent such an enormous and fantastic body of work. I love this kind of stuff and it was sheer pleasure looking through it.

I guess what I am trying to say, in so many words, is that I liked his work.
