Du.st Uk

Established in 2000, based in the industrial city of Sheffield Uk, dust is a commercial graphic arts and design studio producing work across media and application.

Gotta love their stringed together boxy portfolio presentation. Instant impression? Done!

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.

CATK / bis

One of my fav creative outlet – Colors and the Kids (CATK) have a slick redesigned website. They have managed to commercialize a steadfast production of projects that all have a high creative value by avoiding the seen-it-done-it-as usual approach.

If pictures can fork 1k words. Then have a lookee to make up your opinion.

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Rock, Paper, Scissors. by Julien Vallée

The graphic designer and art director Julien Vallée represents a new generation of designers. The young Canadian is a virtuoso at melding the most diverse analog and digital design techniques. He combines graphic design, stop-motion film, and a talent for staging space to create fascinating worlds of images in his work.

Enthusiastically multidisciplinary, he is as versed in traditional skills such as drawing, cutting, illustration, and collage as he is in the use of technologies such as stop-motion animation, video editing, and interactive design.

The monograph presents his commissioned work for clients such as the New York Times, MTV, AOL, and Computer Arts, but also includes a selection of personal projects.

_______

Each book includes a unique log-in code for accessing Vallée’s own making-ofs and other video work online.

This Studio

This Studio is clean, crisp and graceful. It is beautiful work, always for you, the client. This Studio was founded by David Bennett. This talented collective is showing off their projects in a most unusual and original way.

All team’s works (and they are pretty impressive) are photographed as if resting on an angle wall. Must see.
