Zhiwei Bai

Zhiwei BaiIt's not often that we get to feature a talented Chinese-based artist and designer such as Zhiwei Bai. Born in 1981, Zhiwei is a typographic designer whose beautifully balanced work exhibits a timeless quality—it features a collage and shape-inspired minimal style, with blocky typography that at once seems childish, yet modern. In a sense, it is a youthful mix of Swiss bauhaus design and Chinese calligraphy. Recently two of his works won the merit of 53rd Annual Type Directors Club (New York) and they will be published in Typography 28 and exhibited in six traveling shows, internationally. As a member of The Art Directors Club of New York and Shenzhen Graphic Design Association – has won a number of local and international awards in his professional field, such as The Art Directors Club of New York Awards (NYADC). Simply, beautiful work.... More

Work to Date

Greg Bennett | Work To DateA kitschy graphic design portfolio of a man who certainly gets into the nitty and the gritty of print design, posters, texture and anything made on paper. We liked the overboard expression of a screen-printed style website with many funky fonts, which are brought together by subdued brown colors. Nice editorial work, which has also been featured in Print, and has recieved numerous ADDY awards.... More

Wilkerton

WilkertonWe had to dip to the old Digitalthread to find out that we first posted up Ben W. Tousley's portfolio back when he was only 17 years old in 2004! Now a ripe 20, Ben sends us a notice of an update of new works... and we can't say we are at all disappointed. In fact, more impressed than ever that this tidy graphic designer has found his own niche in creating some strong promotional and print designs for music bands, with the occasional poster thrown in. Great, clean typography and nice decorative illustrations.... More

Visual Dialogue

Visual DialogueHere's a prime example of an outstanding, awarded, professional design firm with every accolade in the field, great clients, a creative director with his own permanent gallery collection at Cooper-Hewitt, and yet... their company web site – while we did like the large-scale photographs – is lacking some basic IA to make it easier to navigate. It's too bad; because a few changes could really make it shine—it's just harder than necessary to get to all the great projects inside this site! But hey, website aside – when it comes to identity design, branding, posters, print work and packaging, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger firm to help you develop professional, breakthrough creative designs....

Trozo Studio

Trozo StudioTrozo is the personal creative studio of Eduardo Valdivieso, an Italian living in Los Angeles, who produces some very strong print and web design work. His skills span art direction, print design, illustration and animation... Kind of like a modern day renaissance man (and we're not just saying tha because he has roots in Italy), Eduardo really does have the ability to create a range of different styles—from distressed and "arty"... to clean, and "Microsofty"....

Transfer Studio

Transfer StudioTransfer is a small "logo-less" print design studio based in London. Why they have no logo on their site is a mystery to us – since they specialize in logos, typography and letterhead development for their tight group of clients. But no matter... Who says they need one anyway? Not when they create such powerful and clean design work for print, packaging, and even make some pretty slick looking websites too. Their entire portfolio, in fact, is a testament to the undeniable power of solid typographical skills... from a firm that has no logo—go figure.... More
