IBM leverages its branding power and smarts to try to make the planet a better (and smarter) place to work, live and do business.

Of course we'll lay one on you... as pretty as you are! We just can't resist this boutique-size strategy and design firm that specializes in branding for web and print. Great portfolio layout with just the right amount of confidence, and color in the cheeks. Started in 2003 by Agnieszka Gasparska (born in Warsaw) and located in NYC, this great little endeavor that makes us long for a romantic European getaway... but, until then, I guess we'll have to settle for a kiss....

Yes, the site is sh*t (self professed by the author himself) but the work speaks for itself. While it's not our usual fare to post something so raw, it's really quite an outstanding portfolio of edgy work from a typrographic and motion design kid wonder. James is currently ACD and Head Designer at Arnold Worldwide, so he has a wee bit of street cred (and a decent excuse) to back up this hack-job of a portfolio site. So, enough busting chops... 'njoy this unique diamond in the rough.... More

So close your eyes, take a comfortable seat, and use your imagination to take you away from your day... then when you are done, visit TM.... More
Why not Ask Nature for the best answers to all of our major design problems? What if evolution has already developed and created the perfect designs, and all we had to do was emulate mother natures' wonders to improve our lives? In this time of green consciousness, a Darwinian approach to a green future will harness the biology of nature (biomimetics) to help us innovate naturally and efficiently.

Compose some really large-screen collages and designs, throw in a smear of typography, illustration, and make it all interact with scripts and time-lines, and you have a pretty good picture of the day-in, day-out life of a Flash designer. But instead of using your imagination, you can just check out this pretty fantastic, simple portfolio of Flash designer Nick Jones.... More
Based on a novella by Neil Gaiman, (Sandman comic books) and directed by Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas) this new stop-motion film promises to be an inspiring tale and visual treat. This creation took about 10 years to evolve from a bedtime story to a complete movie, but it's a good thing it did – it is the first movie to be shot in stereoscopic 3-D, making it ideal for a modern 3-D viewing experience. But before you go, be sure to see the eclectic web site and create a button-eyed version of yourself.... More
This little gem is the online portfolio of Tom Merckx and Fanny Khoo, two print designers who keep a very fine focus on the details. Their work is intricate, with fancy illustrative collages that maintain the delicacy of lace in 2-dimensions. We also liked their clean approach to typography and identity design. Based in Singapore and partly from Belgium.... More
