It’s been a really long time since I have said anything about the Iskra Print Collective but in between then and now they have been busy creating some dead sexy gig posters. I would be more than happy to hang anything from their catalog on my wall.

Labzeus is the graphic design work of recently graduated but deeply life-experienced Denver based designer Brian Neumann. I am hoping to work with Brian on future projects as I embark on initiating the creative service branch of Changethethought. Brian has worked diligently to improve himself and his skillset and has grown by leaps and bounds since I first met him when we was in the middle of study. He is currently interning at Cactus here in Denver. I can say with certainty that he is also a really great guy and an equally great person to work with. He is currently accepting both freelance and considering full time opportunities in Denver. So you might want to try and snatch him up before I can figure out a way to keep him busy.

Moffit Moffit is a rather unusual design and branding studio being that it is a collaborative partnership formed by identical twin brothers Andrew and Mark Moffitt. Aside from their looks they also share a genuine love for design and that is translated into some exceptional work for branding, art direction, graphic design, motion and online design in their joint portfolio.

Art and design studio Morning Breath has updated with a new website and some new work in their portfolio. I guess I had no idea just how much album art they have done so that was a bit of an eye opener for me. I am more familiar with their poster/art/screen printing work and didn’t realize how much design is their bread and butter.

FYI: The above image is available as a signed 3 color screenprint here.

Un.titled UK Creative Director James Warfield has updated with both a new website and work. There is some beautifully considered graphic design in his portfolio including the above brochure for Hickling and Squires. He was kind enough to link back to Changethethought in his links section as well and I thank him very much for that.

Letter Heady is a blog devoted to the subject of Letterhead design which should be of some interest to those of us in the design field. The blog has just started out so there are not a lot of examples up yet but it has the potential to grow more interesting over time.

The RRR Project which stands for ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ invites participants to take a look around their environment and see what they can save, pick up and turn over to look at in a different way. The end result has been a mishmash of art, design, photography, illustration from some very talented people. The first effort was published as a free downloadable e-zine that was released to celebrate Earth Day but RRR has recently gone into print with an absolutely gorgeous little book that is inspiring already just peering through jpegs. I first stumbled on the project last night while browsing FPO (For Print Only) and was really impressed. I am ordering a copy today and will be excited to receive it. The project helps support the Surfrider Foundation. You can see some of the art from the book in RRR’s Flickr pages and purchase a copy from their website. Fantastic work.

London design powerhouse Barnbrook has updated with a new website and a few new examples as work so far as I can tell. Regardless, it’s another excuse to peruse through their incredible body of expertly realized design work.

German graphic designer Maike Hamacher has some unusual but amazing work in her portfolio. She is currently based in Berlin but values travel as she has it listed in her resume (that’s nice to see). The folding of the printed piece above is so complicated that there is a Youtube video explaining how it works. It’s a beautifully accomplished work of print however, and a real testament to her thinking. Maike asked me to note that the project was completed while working at Onlab and it was developed together with Nicolas Bourquin and Thibaud Tisso.
