Heroes Design

Heroes Design is the portfolio of Piotr Buczkowski based in Poznań, Poland, who provides clients with solid and eye-catchy graphic design. Love the Podaj dalej x-mass (post) cards series for The Pay it Forward Foundation – a public organization that helps disabled children. Pro bono project.

Exquisite 3d shapes and composition.

No boundaries

Jeff Rogers knows no boundaries nor media limitations. His work ranges from typography, graphic design, illustration, editorial design, book covers, posters, branding.. You name it – his vivid imagination, sense of play (when not downright spoofy) has probably embraced it all.

Like the slim white bordered content area offsets the projects preventing a chromatic clash w/ landscape photography. The right black tabs nav complements it all.

Iconographics

Icon design for ‘Bloomberg Markets Magazine’ by Tim Boleaars.

MrWong’s S’P

Who remembers? ~~MrWong’s Soup’Partments~~ – the world’s tallest virtual building which started in 2002, whereas you got your very own apartment and using a template you would pixel-designed it? In the end there were 406 residents and the building was 2,000 meters high. Now terminated – you can still view it.

Scroll to bottom and work your way up.

Spoofy – funny – nerdy and a lots and lots of pixels.

Juhana Hurtig

Juhana Hurtig is a 30 years old skater, dad, husbander, bicycler, swimmer, runner, photographer and illustrator from Helsinki, Finland. His style his a cross between psychedelia meets hand-drawn childhood memories. Some of his concepts are profoundly sizing the client intent and delivered in a pared down powerful way.

Brosmind(ed)

Meet the Groucho brothers of the illustration world who delight in creating tutti-fruti (and all shades in-between) of luscious projects often times populated by abnormally funny flexible characters!

_______

Brosmind is a studio based in Barcelona founded by Juan and Alejandro Mingarro in 2006. Their style is fresh and optimistic and always combines fantasy and humour. Their illustrations have been awared with the most prestigious international awards, like Cannes Lions, Clio, Eurobest, Graphis, Sol, CdeC, Laus, among others…

_______

Brosmind talks are fresh, freak and funny shows. Powerpoint sucks! and Keynote is so cool, clean and mac style, maybe perfect if you are a trendy designer, fun of iphone lovers, but not for Brosmind!

Yepp they got their very own lecture app designed by Flan*.
