IBM -> 'Power your planet' ads/illustration

I remember seeing one of these beautiful IBM ads in the New York Times earlier in the year but I had no idea where they were coming from or who created them, until today when I happened upon them on Behance. The illustrations were created by Vienna, Austria based David Mascha. He focuses on Art, illustration, [...]

New Worlds : Opening Up -> Christoph Ruprecht

Christoph Ruprecht is a creative director from Germany with some serious chops in graphic art/design and typography. His works transcend the bounds of print design and extend into the realm of fine art. Much of his graphic design reminds me of works by the great surrealists Miro, Dali and Tanguy. You’ll have to check out [...]

RENFE 'Pop Up' Designs -> Lele Gestoso Saa

These pop-up designs created for RENFE’s (Spanish National Rail Network) new fleet of trains, by artist and designer Lele Gestoso Saa are pretty incredible and extremely entertaining to look over. I posted a little over a year ago about some of her designs under the creative group name called ‘Serial Cut’ but I had not seen [...]

Augmented City 3D -> Keiichi Matsuda

Augmented City 3D from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

This is an entertaining and well visualized concept by Keiichi Matsuda. Lot’s of little sci-fi AR details, some interesting ideas around the ability to enhance one’s environment, some fun UI… all dipped in an old school vat of 3D… Where did I put those glasses? Worth a view.

365concepts -> Rupinder Singh

Rupinder Singh has taken it upon himself to tackle a 365 design project, and has set up a nice tumblr blog to display his works daily. Having watched my wife go through her own 365 photo project, I know how much of a task this simple idea can become. His works so far are pretty [...]

KraftWork -> Seeper (image mapping projection)

KraftWork from seeper on Vimeo.

The above video by KraftWork is a nice new example of architectural image mapping. I especially like the Tron-ish white line/hairline rendering towards the beginning of the video, feels unlike anything that I’ve seen before coming from this creative medium.

World Cup Poster -> David Watson/Trebleseven

Designer David Watson of Trebleseven Studios created the above colorful, typographic World Cup poster. Another nice example of the popular subtractive coloring technique that I so much enjoy. If I had some more room on my walls to squeeze this one in I’d definitely pick one up. You can purchase the print from his website [...]

9 0 0 0 -> Typography/Design Flickr Stream

L.A. designer/artist known as ‘9 0 0 0′ continues to crank out a broad array of stimulating design on his Flickr stream. These graphic works appeared on my ‘latest photos’ from my contacts feed last night, and for some reason they just stuck in my mind till this morning. With these, and with his other [...]

Jordan Metcalf -> Design and Typography

I came across Jordan Metcalf’s design and typography works this week while clicking around another designer’s Flickr stream. His works are super tight and really fun to click through, you can just tell by how perfectly rendered his type is that his level of passion is off the charts. The above are just a couple [...]

Florian Lamm -> Graphic Design/Typography

I happened across these super nice graphic poster prints created by Leipzig, Germany based designer Florian Lamm on yayeveryday.com last night. They have an underlying retro feel to them, but at the same time they feel fresh and right on trend. He seems to enjoy the contrast of loose to tight when it comes to [...]

Julien Rivoire -> BastardGraphics

French based Art Director Julien Rivoire’s online portfolio for BastardGraphics is super clean, fresh and vivid. I especially enjoy the above geometric and iconic poster designs. The website itself is also really well designed and compliments + showcases his graphic style perfectly. Great source of inspiration.
