The graphic work of Christopher David Ryan is an interesting mix of abstract modernist design – and at times, illustrated typography. His work pushes through the rather broad line between design and painting, and tends to exhibit an emotional, yet light mood with color and free-flowing strokes and delicate curves. Quite an interesting hybrid of design and art—that defies standard definitions and categories.... More
iLK is the home of a fantastic graphic designer, graffiti artist, illustrator and freelance art director from Paris, France. He has an outstanding style that translates beautifully from paint (see the newly released La Foret Enchantee) down to print ads (see the fabulous Lacoste print ad), and we really love the detail and color he achieves in his work. Sure – coming from a similar background – we're slightly biased towards such crossover artists, but the proof is in the paints... graffiti artists do it better!... More
A fantastic minimal little portfolio for a great print, packaging and identity design studio based in Sweden. We love the fast-loading site design, the simple colors and limited type that show this firm understands the online medium too. Birth understands and heralds the importance of good design, and communicates with a modern, yet bold design style. Nice typography and clean print work.... More
One of the more impressive sites and portfolios we've seen from a design agency in a while, KentLyons is a specialist in print and identity campaings that demand clean typography and classic, modern graphic interpretations. They are no slouches at interactive web design either, but their style in collateral and print campaigns are definitely their shining beacon. Solid, clean, minimal and exceptional.... More
It's definitive... No one really does design like the Dutch! What is it about this small area that just consistently breeds the best designers on the Globe? If we knew, we wouldn't be telling—but we are showing: Check out this excellent graphic design portfolio of a designer from the Netherlands. From identity design to typography, installations and print design, each piece resonates boldly with exceptional design quality.... More
When you see most "urban" graphic design, it all seems so similar—as if the style was all copied from one book, designer and street corner. Not so with Monsieur G, who breaks down stereotypes with his illustrative style and a certain unique flair. There's just something a little different about this work that makes it stand out... which is exactly the right recipe for good design.... More
An excellent design portfolio of a print, graphics and identity design firm. Although they do not specialize in web design, they had their friends (AllofUs.org) put together a truly magnificent minimal Flash portfolio that really puts the ideas and work first. Yes, the graphic design campaigns inside are excellent, yet its even easier to appreciate because the site makes you read (and think) a little first, instead of just quick-clicking through everything. Very nice indeed.... More
MASA's work has a strong emphasis on Latin American (Venezuelan) pop and global contemporary street culture. Their research creates a crossover where urban references get illustrated and blended with colorful popular graphics to produce fresh ideas and strong brand identities. This is MASA's first ever public posting of their work—a collection dating back to 1997.... More
By Default is a personal portfolio site of New York based designer, Anisa Suthayalai. It shows a collection of work from personal projects and different design studios, however... we're really not fans of this website design—which uses frames and tiles samples in the background. But Anisa is not a web designer... and since 2006, she has been working with Alex Lin in Default Office in New York City. What she is though, is a very good graphic designer, and this site gives you a nice taste of her work since 1998.... More
When a designer starts off their site claiming they are "pretty much amazing", well... we blindly take their word for it! In fact, we've decided this graphic artist suffers from a pretty bad case of low self-esteem. Among other things, this Austin Sellers guy is a one-man poster factory... Mostly using hand-drawn fonts and illustrations, his single blog-style index page is like a toilet-paper roll of posters. Just pull, detach and wipe your brow in amazement.... More
Büro North is a strong multi-disciplinary design studio that specializes in 2D and 3D graphic design, covering industrial design and signage as well as traditional graphic identity and brand design. With award winning work coming from a very young team, director and founder Soren Luckins is 28 and several staff members fall under the 25 year category... all signs point to Büro North as a hot firm to watch for many years to come....

Jody Barton is one of those special characters in design. Born and raised in the British Isles and educated in London at The Royal College of Arts, his typographic art has a certain painful honesty to it... which we like to call 'un-irony'. When most trendy designers are doing the "cool" irreverant thing—Jody is actually feeling the pain and not faking the expression. This un-ironic attitude – arrived at by choice, but also a cultivated perspective born from frustration – is expressed in worded and iconographic detail on skateboards, surfboards, vinyl cuts of his work, stickers, T-shirts, books, pamphlets, hand-assembled custom bicycles, tattoos on his own body, and basically anything he can put pen or ink to. Raw, real, ridiculously talented, and not to be missed.... More
