I’m a big fan of Carole Gautier and Eugénie Favre who use to operate under the design collective Polkaouistiti – which is not, as you may agree, a usual studio name.
_______
Now how about reinventing themselves? Yes, they just did. Pleased to present you: My Name is Wendy (an encore as an unusual graphic design studio name).
Again their new website is eye popping with cutting-edge designs, with a strong inclinations towards bold typography. Not to say the use of the early web blueish tint (now #0439ff) linking (if any of you remember).

Wish they would have skip on the blinking index.. but their portfolio is definitely worth it.

WIG ain’t what you would think at first take.. but a really surprisingly simple idea turned into.. a white porcelain flower vase. Using flowers or leaves determine the look of it. Handiwork of Tania da Cruz who was born in Lisbon (Portugal), grew up in Brussels (Belgium) and finally landed in Italy.
Love the ‘punkish’ arrangement :))

a href=”http://wurmapp.com/”>WURM is an iPhone / iPad app to create dazzling abstract wallpapers with just your finger. Using any movement, fast or slow and see what happens. Pick up a color palette, shapes or drawing forms and next thing you know – you have relaxed.
Brought to you by Anna O. programmer. Making algorithms for art. Lover of patterns (no doubt about that). The very first woman that I know of – who has created an app.
Know more who did? Please suggest here.

Shotopop and JWT Shanghai put their heads together to create these in-store displays out of shoe boxes for sports-brand ANTA. Check-out these tactile illustrations that garnered Cannes Lions.
Very pretty interior spaces photography of mix-match-ecclectic-funky accessories by Sanna Lindberg.
In Depth Design Magazine is a result of a long term assignment for Natasha Lid, a second year graphic design student in Oslo, Norway. Very smart concept: focus exclusively on one subject per issue – subjects that deserve more than one article; enlightening details in a larger extent, by making a magazine that gives a bigger picture of something small.
Wonderful prototype about typography, grid, etc.
While waiting for her new website to go online – Alexandra Mendes aka BLANK – a design thinking (for graphic minds) independent design consultancy to both clients and design agencies has opted for a one-page placeholder with animated thumbnails of her past work and studio artefacts. Most unusual base color: #fbad9a – an opaque ‘flesh’ tone and tints with black accent.
Blank makes tailored projects. Experimentation is the basic structure of her work. Always looking for answers in the most improbable places. They must be there… Somewhere!
