Anymade studio

Anymade studio (a design collective) specialized in art, dj & vj shows, illustrations, motions, design for music and fashion industries and in other part of planet.. Here is a selection of their work.

Edgy, original, audacious layouts.

Love this self-promo folded paper piece.

My Name is Wendy

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.

Hoehenluft

Pixelgarten is a small bureau for multidisciplinary creation based in Frankfurt am Main Germany. It was founded by Catrin Altenbrandt and Adrian Niessler who have been working for various clients in many fields of design including illustration, fashion, identity and editorial design.

They like to do self-initiated projects and have been very active exhibiting their work.

Showing: Exhibition view of Hoehenluft, a mix of photography, tactile and illustration.

Slavimir rocks

Slavimir Stojanovic was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1969. His design career started when he was 16. He studied at Design Higschool in Belgrade, at the Academy for Applied arts and Design and at HDK in Gotheborg, Sweden. Between 1992 and 1999 he worked at S Team Bates Saatchi & Saatchi. From 1999 to 2007 he lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia working at Kompas Design, Arih Advertising and his own Futro Creative Service Unit.

From 2010 he works as a creative director at Communis DDB, Belgrade. More recently, he became a partner at Designis, design and branding agency. His work in the domain of visual communication, design and advertising has brought him more than 200 international awards.

You know ‘good’ when you see ‘good’.

Smile now :))

Smile! No matter where you are – we all can overcome the oh no – Not one of these days – if it happens to be one.

Triboro essence

Triborodesign is composed of a founding (husband and wife) duo: David Heasty and Stefanie Weigler. Most important to them: they have a desire to produce materials with intrinsic value that connect with audience and add positively to the world. They revel in the formulation of unique concepts that determine, define and control the core structure and all applications of a brand.

They thought it out, see how they output it to.

_______

Nifty idea the 77 Web Buttons interactive experiment

Still rocking it

Stereotype founded by Mike Joyce (a long time design veteran, who also teaches typography at the SVA), as their name infers, work mostly for labels in the entertainment industry. Much inclined towards typography, their packaging and posters reflect just that. They have designed for many a known-and-not-so-known band or artist.

Still rocking it!
