Sawdust has recently completed the design for ‘Genesis of a deep sound’. It’s the latest album from ‘Fabrice Lig’ on label Fine Art recordings and is now available on CD and 12” vinyl. A custom typeface was created specifically for the project and the front of the record has graphic indicators overlaid onto the image that when matched to the back spell the word ‘Genesis’.

Sawdust has been cranking out some really great work lately that reminds me a bit of Non-Format. They are also damn good self promoters as not only we but a lot of the design blogs receive an update whenever they complete a project. Smart.

Lucía Castro is a Barcelona based graphic designer with an outstanding body of typographic-focused print work. Her work is simple and classic but makes a very contemporary use of color in her layouts. What are they putting in the water in Barcelona anyway? Maybe it’s the paella, or it could be the jamón ibérico but it’s probably the hash.

Recent Nottingham Trent University graduate Luke Elliott has some nice print and branding work already in his book. If someone hasn’t staffed him yet, I would recommend looking into picking up his talent if you have an opening in your agency or studio. He’s only going to get better with experience.

I got a really nice surprise in the mail a couple of weeks back from illustrator Micah Lidberg (we love getting nice things in the mail). I had a conversation a year or so back with illustrator Mario Hugo and he mentioned that Micah and is just a flat out awesome and enthusiastic guy. The book is called ‘Rise and Fall’ and is a long diorama illustration that folds out into a poster. You can purchase a copy from Nobrow Publishing here for $16 dollars. It’s a really beautifully printed little art piece that now sits happily on my desk.

Thanks Micah. You are awesome.
