Spotted these illustrated numbers over at Skwirrol this week. Really well drawn and a nice balance between the design of the number and creating a character. Look forward to seeing the whole range.

I stumbled across this excellent and very funny piece over at juxtapoz.com
If anyone knows who produced the piece let me know as I’d be interested in seeing some of their other work and maybe feature it too.
Thought it would make an excellent valentine card for/from the manic depressed maybe?

Sad news this week as The Designers Republic closed their doors after 22 years of design work.
The legendary design company who worked in many different sectors from music to video games to beer brands, created great design very much in their own style and will be very much missed in the design world. Creative Review blog has an article remembering The Designers Republic.

Like many designers and design companies I quite often receive CV’s and samples of work from design students. As much as I’d love to employ these designers I’m currently not in the position to do so, so rather than keeping hold of their work until the chance arises I thought I’d give some of it abit of a airing on here in a series of design student spotlights.
This will hopefully help raise their profiles or maybe another design company (more…)
