Stingosaurus? Well Stina Johansson has got this thing for dinosaurs amongst other interests.. like graphic design, self-publishing, (awarded) apparel design and more design. As a recent graduate, wait up – she will probably populate the industry with many new legg-breaking creative creatures and projects.
Porro Ago (classic latin) = Long Live!

Sebastian Bagge and Julio Rölle met each other at the beginning of their graphic design studies on the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld 2002. Since the beginning the two young graffiti inspired students start working together. 44flavours does graphic design, organises art shows and even publishes its own magazine.

Rebecca Thuss art directs, does prop and set styling, wedding and event designs and crafting. “She delights in throwing parties, has a passion for packaging, a weakness for fanciful candy and confections, and an infatuation with vintage paper item.
For nine years Rebecca’s contributions were instrumental in defining the creative vision of Martha Stewart Weddings. During her tenure it became widely recognized as one of the most popular wedding magazines in a highly competitive marketplace. Rebecca has received six Society of Publication Designers (SPD) Merit Awards for her styling work.”
Her work is about making elegant and festive dreams come true. Her minute attention to oh so lovely details is enchanting. Check the confection – food – cake section to get an idea of her lushing creativity.


DHNN (Design Has No Name) received this mega assignment to develop the corporate id and brand manual of Fox International Channels. From the slogan “We enterain people” they began to work on the idea of entertainment and movement steering away from the TV screen standards but rather trying to transmit entertainment and motion in static spaces.
This was achieved by layering juxtapositions and cuts to comunicate the dynamism of the images captured in full motion as shown in these two exceptional posters.
Some of the pieces range from basic design id cards, to the design of cds, dvds beta cassettes, t-shirts, stands, infographics, etc.


HELMO (Thomas Couderc et Clément Vauchez) is an extraordinarily talented creative duo who associate with as talented individuals to produce outstanding projects. Worth browsing from top to bottom, I am humbled and energized by the consistant quality of their work.
They are behind the stunning “Bètes de mode” (superimposing two color gelatines photographs to create window store show-stoppers) featured in the first of our They LUV design! It shows series.

While visiting discovered RED-RAG flash website which they have designed.. including the shoes as well! The line extends to men, women and kids and is just fabulous!

Hofstede Design print work is superlative. They take corporate communication and whip up unexpected folds and crafty collaterals that make their publication and environmental graphic design projects pop. And has they say: “we are doers, not talkers” — so no surprise their portfolio website is minimalist and somewhat low profile, reserving clicking surprise as you browse it.
From Australia with luv.
