Nakano Design Office

A very small sampling of the incredible work coming from Nakano Design Office to end the work week right.

Curtis Flanagan

I’m a sucker for a nice annual report, and Curtis Flanagan (a fellow UArts alum and designer at Ideas On Purpose) seems to be cranking them out left and right. Pictured above is work for TB Alliance, Moodys, and an IOP holiday poster.

Les Graphiquants

There is simply too much beautiful work coming from Paris studio Les Graphiquants. A lot of the work reminds me of one of my favorites, Philippe Apeloig. The design of their site is  pretty fantastic, too. It’s unfortunate that I can’t read French.

Tabula

Some solid work coming from Tabula, a Philadelphia-based studio. And David Wolf (one of the partners) is a fellow UArts alum, so that’s cool, too.

TwoPoints.Net

Very nice work from Barcelona’s TwoPoints.Net.

Latest work from so+ba

I’ve been a fan of so+ba since I discovered their work a little over a year ago. Now that they’ve updated their site, it’s nice to know a little more info about them:

“susanna baer and alex sonderegger were born in switzerland. they started their design studio so+ba, in tokyo in 2001. with their experiences in graphic design and advertising in switzerland and japan, as well as a good understanding of the two very different cultures, cross-cultural communication is one of the strength and the focus of so+ba.”

Above is work they did for the Swiss Design Symposium back in November 2010, as well as a couple of posters for Zou-no-Hana, a center for cultural exchange.

New(ish) work from League

I hadn’t checked out League in awhile (view archived post), so it was nice to see all of the great new work in their portfolio.

Quadradão

Wow… some really great work from Brazilian studio Quadradão. Be sure to download their portfolio pdf, too.

Artifacts: A Short Dedication

Guest post by Dan Newcomer

When I was a senior at The University of the Arts (Philadelphia), our prestigious design program was making a transition to a new level, both figuratively and literally speaking. Continue reading…

GVA Studio

The work of Geneva-based GVA Studio has got me all a-tremblin’ with joy. Above is a just a tiny sampling of their work… how great is that PhotoRotation logo? Oh, it’s great.

Fangohr

Brooklyn-based Fangohr not only has a portfolio full of thoughtfully executed projects, but they have a beautiful site to match. Command-D, my friends, Command-D.

Your Friends

So my friends Liv and Scott recently visited their friends Your Friends in Oslo, Norway. Yes, there’s a whole lotta Norway goin’ on at L&C lately, and for good reason. I found it difficult choosing images from their portfolio to feature here, so be sure to make your way through their site.
