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.
Here is a perfect example on how to present and organize a portfolio website that has multiple information to include. Adams Morioka navigation is simple and based on letters from the initial interface through inside levels. They have done enough client work to warrant using the A-Z metaphor.
By creating a simple but elegant placeholder to display their projects, they maximize getting undivided attention and evaluation of their services and design capacities.
Harajuku (hara-joo-koo) Lovers is an irrisistible brand, aptly termed “a fatal attraction to cuteness” that was first captured by Shoichi Aoki which lead to publishing two wildly popular books and a cult-like magazine based on Tokyo Street Style.
Highly recommend you acquire these. They can prove fool-proof assets if you hit the blank state. A couple of pages will suffice to kick you right back into gear — thinking to yourself — what? no such thing stopping me from being creative and using my imagination; if they came up with this crazy over the top original fashion style they wear in public, there’s nothing I can’t do.

A couple of years ago, purchased a cool (mini) messenger bag with this message printed in big typo on the flap cover:
“Our Love is the Real Thing”
What a powerful statement in opposition perhaps, to “Our War is the Real Thing” hinted by the green camouflage printed pattern.. Wanted to shout it to the world.. and did.. by carrying it around. Little did I know that I had fallen for the girrrl empowering brand Gwen Stefani had created.
The new video campaign for Harajuku Lovers Fragance which had to seize Gwen’s vision of “cuteness” was commissioned to FWY (Friends With You) Studio who dwell into happy design too..
Now “G” sits pretty at a place of honor amongst other toyz on the studio mantle, stating silently:
Powagirrrls rule (with more than pink design)!!!
Nathalie Pollet is Pam et Jenny, a graphic designer in Belgium with a wonderful eye for creative design solutions. Beautiful typographic treatments and wonderful colour palettes a plenty, this is great work being displayed on an equally excellent website.
Jennifer Daniel = intelligent + funny. Her url is reason enough to check out a fantastic body of work.
Top Dollar “builds everything upon a holy trinity founded on continuity, consequence and love.” Although the website does not show yet any work, once you have assembled a clear statement of who you are, only good tidings can be the outcome.
Let’s stay tuned to what this Swedish advertising and marketing agency does next! BTW Luv the Change is Hope, statement.
Well, well, well, what do you know? Bello+Co are exploiting a blond retro clad bomshell to drive their brand home. Questions: do blonds sell? Or have more fun? Or are more biz savvy? Or credible?
What do you make of this concept?
