/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Tsto sublime

Tsto is a design agency which approach is thorough and hands-on. They tackle an assignment by first taking it apart to its bare essentials, and then building it in a new way that best serves the purpose.

They go deeper than the surface, to the hidden core of each case.

______

Love the over lapping of projects when using the forward / backward arrows which adds even more visual appeal to their stunningly beautiful portfolio.

Canefantasma *

Canefantasma is an independent design studio founded in 2002 by Mimmo Manes offering a vast spectrum of services from print to interactive and just about everything in between.

He has a creative – even funky – pragmatic approach, motivated by the desire to create original and functional works.

MUD school

Ravishing photography and body paint details on MUD (Making Upward Dance) – a cutting edge dance studio dancers – communication material and website.

Identity + photography by The Clocksmiths, an italian design studio versed in communication and branding whereas they use ‘quality as the weapon against time and competence as the code’.

A+ for BVA

Hard to excel in multiple design fields without having a weak spot – but no doubt – these outstanding projects are an ode to contrary. They almost do it all: identity – print – interactive – mobile – with brio.

Bureau for Visual Affairs is a digital design studio focussed on content-driven user experiences for the cultural and commercial sectors.

Clever Rosie Lee

Punkt. Cleverly put together international campaign by Rosie Lee – a hybrid creative agency.. dedicated to bringing to life the innovative ideas brands need in today’s cluttered marketing space. It’s kind of hard to imagine needing a ‘phone’ other than a mobile – buy hey – if so – this one’s for you.

A very minimalist object designed by Jasper Morrison – no frills – but packed with functionalities. Watch the campaign video when mobile flat design is teleported to an analog object. Clever.

Colour Mania

Colour Mania by Viction:ary.

Where the world dances in a veritable kaleidoscope of colours, everything becomes one of its kinds in their unique colours even if they are flat and mute. Taking a glance at a rambling collection of works, extensively covering campaigns, illustrations, branding, packaging, products and more.

It manifests how unicolour designs draw on the essence of nine colours and a rainbow tone, and project powerful impacts in an era ablaze with all sorts of hues.

_______

If you like colors as I do – this one is for you.

Elevator Studio

Looove Elevator Studio – which has become Liverpool’s creative hub, providing working space for artists, musicians and commercial Companies – one-pager new website and ready to be scrolled from floor 0 to 8. Smart metaphor in ref w/ their name.
