The thing about Luke Ritchie, you see, is he was once almost attacked by a hippo. Now that may or may not sound significant to you, however Luke probably* had an epiphany (*I say probably – it’s speculation, I don’t actually know). Unlike most who might take this occurance as a message from Hare Krishna to venture to Goa and ‘find themselves’ in yoga before going on to invent a new brand of natural yoghurt […]
Illustrator, typographer, designer, scarlet pimpernel, call him what you will but South African Jordan Metcalf‘s work is emminently cool. Previously featured in Codex: the Journal of Typography, TypeToken and Computer Arts, his is the sort of cool that creates a thoroughly enjoyable folio; not only his insanely amazing illustrated typography but also his character styling through to use of colour. Tw. @jordanmetcalf Do you have a great portfolio to share? Get in touch and share […]
Perhaps best described as a graphic artist, Mason McFee‘s work is all sorts of things to all sorts of people; I think you either love it straight away or become seduced by it’s charm over time and understanding. I personally love the bizarre but endearing darkness to his work; his style and the media he works with is mixed, but always equally absorbing. Best put in Mason’s own words; “While I struggle between being a […]
We’ve just discovered this little peach which we thought we’d share. I don’t know how much you already know about Blurb but, in a nutshell, they make quality can easily create yourself and produce on very small runs for pretty reasonable prices. Use Instagram, Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr, Tumblr… pretty much any other photo-based website to grab the images to create a book, or us pro’s get jiggy straight from Lightbox or InDesign. Ornament your coffee […]
2005 graduate and Roses nominated / D&AD commended Glaswegian Colin Bennett, is a senior designer at Glasgow’s Stand. The work accumilated in his folio is accomplished beyond his years; clinical, clean and built on solid and thoroughly thought through conceptual foundations. Typifies some rather splendid stuff currently coming out of Scotland. Tw. @colinbennett
My friend once moved to Cornwall. Newquay to be more specific. He packed is land-locked bags and trumbled down the seemingly endless A30 in his pink Micra (he says it was purple, but we all knew), surf board strapped to the roof. Quite a sight. He went to live a life of surf, sandy accoustic sets and surfer dudettes. But what do people do in Cornwall in between the aforementioned? I sometimes wondered. Well, if […]
#AntiSpec is a campaign launched earlier this summer that seeks to out those who put out calls for free logos. They had a high profile casualty in the maiden campaign when Aol owned Huffington Post sought to ‘invite’ submissions for a new divisional identity “in exchange for exposure”. Hmm. We wholeheartedly support the Antispec cause, but this led us ponder a wider picture, namely to pitch or not to pitch… In times of economic downturn […]
