No Days Off {London}

Awesome agencies

Outstanding array and diversity of work from the chaps at No Days Off Associates. Originally founded in 2006, they’ve steadily expanded their operation whilst producing mould-breaking and striking work along the way. They also do a handsome line in take-homes on their shop. Tw. @NoDaysOffStudio  

Magpie Studio {London}

Awesome agencies

Smart, gorgeous work underpinned by a no-fluff, sensible talking approach lead to London’s Magpie Studio beautifully presented portfolio of delights. Stockpile of quality clients include Channel 4, Endemol, Bafta, D&AD and Knight Frank. Lovely, clever work, and I very much like the simplicity and craft of their about us copy. Tw. @Magpie_Studio

Ragged Edge {London}

Awesome agencies

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, […]

Kimberley Chan {London}

Outstanding individuals

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

Jimmy Turrell {London}

Illustrators

It’s difficult to know where to start with this guy, so let’s start at the beginning and see where we go… London illustrative bad boy Jimmy Turrell is a Central St Martins School of Art alumni. Articulated his own words… “he combines a love of handmade collage, drawing, screenprinting and painting alongside digital techniques. He’s presently very inspired by the Locussolus album, Hudson Mohawke, Thundercats, vintage 1930′s sowing manuals, Zdenek Ziegler and good old London […]

Graphic Thought Facility {London}

Awesome agencies

Graphic Thought Facility are an agency with a strong pedigree in design both through the clients in their portfolio and from those who work at GTF. Worth spending some time looking at their way-finding, exhibitions and the creation of some icon brands.

Studio8 {London}

Awesome agencies

If being dam good at this design lark was like playing monopoly, these chaps would be veritable tycoons. Dare I say it, they’d probably even have a hotel on Mayfair. (Having never won a game of Monopoly in my entire adult life, I’m disproportionally impressed by this metaphor). Anyway, London town’s own Studio8 are indeed tycoons of the visual art… their haul of awards (which is made all the more impressive when you consider they […]

Fraser Davidson {London}

Illustrators / Outstanding individuals

Wow. Just, wow. Where do you start with this chap’s work? Fraser Davidson knows sports branding, and how. The work is a veritable smörgåsbord of beautifully crafted sports identies, including the recent Winnipeg Jets rebrand. His enviably accomplished work bears some of the finest identities of the genre.
