Designer: Ortografika
The works of Ortografika stem from an ambitious team of creatives out of Poland. They’re members of the Stowarzyszenie Twórców Grafiki Użytkowej, Creators of Used Graphics Association, which unites the best designers and studios from all over Poland. Their many distinctions and exhibition invitations speak for the quality of work they continue to produce.
Designer: Minx Creative
It’s always hard designing for yourself…I especially know that as I’ve been in the redesign process for what seems like forever. But Minx Creative is a prime example of successful promotion of design skills through design itself. Minx obviously has put time and an amazing amount of work into ensuring their skills are well represented. They’ve done this by creating a promotional book that passed through the hands of everyone at the studio. Its intention is to grab the attention of prospective clients Minx has come to like and pursue. Needless to say, the design of the book itself is simply awesome!
Designer: & SMITH
For those who don’t know, & SMITH is a small, independent design studio who creates work that encompasses identity, branding, print, web…well, just about everything. You may remembering having seen their work featured before as I was caught up in how quaint and crafty their pieces were. Over the past year, they’ve produced several new pieces that continue the tradition of intimacy and attention to detail in the various mediums ranging from packaging to web.
Designer: LouLou & Tummie
LouLou & Tummie, a Dutch illustration duo, spends their time building various colorful graphics and characters. Among many toys and character designs, they’ve also created some fun infographics for institutions ranging from IBM to Nike.
Designer: Nook
I don’t know much about this artist except for they go by the name Raccoonnook…and their work is really fun. Nook’s illustration is very impressive. Nook’s diverse techniques help create work that ranges from cartoons to realism. Nook’s mixed portfolios are great examples of the unique, always playful, and always well-refined work that stems from an what is probably a truly imaginative creative process.
