Picture the scene; it’s a cold, grey October evening, outside drizzle pattering down on the single glazed windows, the wind rattling them in their meagre frames. You’ve just eat a little too much pasta and feeling tubby, your girlfriend has just left the flat for a week of night shifts thus leaving you alone, cold and helpless, faced with fending for yourself for the forthcoming few nights. (Ok so I’m feeling disproportionately sorrowful for myself, […]
Primarily working in the culture and leisure sectors, Swiss studio Demian Conrad‘s work is stripped back to its bare essentials, finding beauty through form and relationships between elements. That’s the best way I can encapsulate their sumptuous work. “With a research-led approach, we are interested in how technologies and processes relate to form and meaning. In 2010 we developed a printing process named WROP™ in which we could create a unique random printout using an […]
Kimberley Chan has certainly done her hard graft on the London streets. After graduating a year ago she has managed to get a handful of placements under some great talent and now currently peddling her trade at FutureBrand. One to keep an eye on for the future. Tw. @sosillee

After a long hard (haaard) slog building his design agency Bloodybigspider into a successful business with some great clients (Ernst & Young and YMCA to name a couple), Stephen Holmes escaped south London, moving shop to a nice studio on Old Street where he now calls home. Over the years, as many of us have, he’d often come up with ideas and concepts he’d think were great, but just weren’t appropriate for clients and so, […]
Melbourne’s own Round produce work that has been consistently recognised over the last 7 years with countless awards for their creativity and willingness to relentlessly push boundries. To say these guys are simply on-trend would be doing them an enormous injustice, they are way ahead of that, riding the curve with wholly original outcomes that both engage and inspire whatever the application. A truly awesome agency…
Running from 9–11 March 2012, Dublin’s creative festival OFFSET 2012 encompasses talks, gallery shows, presentations, workshops, debates, parties, interviews and Q&A’s with some of the leading creatives of the world. Did I mention parties? If all that isn’t enough to tickle your taste buds, you wait ’till you get your chops around the speakers lined up for the week. In no particular order of awesomeness; Michael Bierut, Paula Scher (both of Pentagram notorioty), Stefan Sagmeister, […]
Making the complex beautiful. It’s more or less as simple as that. Child of the eighties Liam Brazier‘s idiosyncratic style of geometric masterpieces encapsulate the accent of his generation; ie Star Wars, Marvel and cool shit. Surprisingly, when Brazier first started dabbling in the geometry ten years ago it developed out of method; obsessively scalping out tiny triangles of different colored paper and spray-mounting them onto board – a painfully lengthy process, no doubt. These […]
