There is some really attractive work in the portfolio of Swedish designer Emil Olsson. I wish it was displayed larger but you can still see that Olsson is a very accomplished designer. I especially love the typefaces he has on display but unfortunately you still can’t purchase or download them.
Projekt Triangle has a website that kind of drove me nuts at first but when I finally landed on and discovered their exceptional work, I was glad I held out for it. So to spare you, I am linking their work directly here. I can’t tell you much about them because their site is in German but their work speaks for itself.
There is some fun work in the portfolio of Brooklyn-based Wyeth Hansen. He has some nice work in his motion graphics portfolio as well for a band who is a guilty pleasure of mine, The Rapture.
Their website may take a little patience but I’ll be damned if there isn’t some just downright awesome work up for viewing pleasure at the oh-so-German Gunter Rambow. There are some real diamonds in that mine. Big shiny ones.
Not to mention the fact that they could start a kick-ass German speed metal band and not even have to change their name.
Hudson-Powell is responsible for some interesting and ambitious work. That work includes the co-direction of the beautiful and brilliant video above for PJ Harvey. Great stuff.
“Fageta is a graphic design studio based in Fribourg, Switzerland. Fageta works across various media: from books, posters, typefaces, identities and stationeries to signages and websites.”
Their is some fun stuff in the portfolio of Brooklyn-based, Ground-Wave.
Here is their profile copied from their site: “We’re a design firm based out of Brooklyn, NY. And simply put, we love creating beautiful, flexible designs. Whether we’re working with you on a new identity, a website, or a mobile GUI, the goal is to build a living, breathing product�one that scales to your needs now� and later. With an ever-evolving online landscape, these days creativity is adaptability, and that’s what we want to give you. All wrapped up in a sweet design.
If we had a motto (or a mullet), it would probably be business in front, whiz-bang in back. Back-end, that is. Particularly when we’re working within the online realm, we stress the wisdom of designs that are easily updatable and can empower our clients. Whether it’s building a content management system custom-tailored to your needs or integrating with an existing solution, we look for smart and sensible ways to make our designs durable.”
One of my all time favorite shops updated their site today with new work and a fresh look for the site. I absolutely love everything that Non-Format does.
For the unacquainted here is the profile from their site: “Non-Format is a creative team comprising Kjell Ekhorn (Norwegian) and Jon Forss (British). They work on a range of projects including art direction, design and illustration for music industry, arts & culture, fashion and advertising clients. They also art direct Varoom: the journal of illustration and made images.”
There are some fantastic updates at 33rpm of work completed over the last few months. I love their work. Absolutely love it. Their print work is top notch. So tasty, like candy for my eyes. Yum. If you have never visited their site before, do yourself a huge favor and do so right now.
HelloMe is the portfolio of German designer Till Wiedeck. He has some really clean and beautiful work in his book and the clincher is the typefaces he has created. I would love to get my hands on those. Till works in all areas of graphic design including corporate identity, editorial, typography, print, illustration as well as animation, web and exhibition. He considers his site not just a place to showcase his client work but also somewhere to experiment and collaborate.
There is some interesting work in the portfolio of London-based John Morgan Studio. The man behind the studio has been at it for quite a long time now. If you check the about section you will be greeted by a long ass list of things he has done. His work is subtle but there is a kind of thinking behind everything that I really appreciate. The poster I posted above was created using felt tip markers and pens. It’s a pretty outrageous way to create a poster but I can’t think of a way to make something more unique. I like that it required a real effort but the end result was still minimal and in keeping with the rest of his work.
