Always flux because as says Gregor Žakelj their creative director, because we are never satisfied, VBG (which stands for Visual Brain Gravity) is a visual communication service. Everybody is talking about what they wanna-be. But we just are. And we have visions. Showing loads of visual treats, check their portfolio.
The gang at YouWorkForThem and us go a long way back. Back when the web was young and crazy stuff was going on. What I am particularly fond and admirative of, is their capacity to reinvent themselves. After many years, the last rendition of their website is a hair short of perfect.
What you can find there? Fonts, very lovely fonts and vectors, and images and videos and brushes and sound.. The website is deep and full of design goodies as well as fun to navigate.
Synchronicity? As my upcoming vacation is filling lots of space in mind, found Paul Tebbott aka Horizon Fire who is a self-taught graphic designer and electronic musician of which I really admire his minimalist approach illustrations that show exactly what I will soon experience: taking a plane, feet in turquoise sea and catching loads of sun.
BirdWatching is a socially driven, international organisation and the only one of its kind. Its core team consists of young and practicing graphic designers that are passionate about design and live and work around the world. Their common aim is to connect, support and promote female graphic designers internationally.
Was asked about books I would recommend as introduction to graphic design. Here are two. Well documented. Easy read.
What is Graphic Design? by Quentin Newark
Explores all the issues that shape design today: economics, ethics, technology, theory, and developments in other arts. It looks at how graphic design has evolved over the centuries, from the development of book printing in medieval Germany to the present day, including magazines, corporate branding, television titles, films, and websites.

Digging the duotone Svicolando campaign (three days of culture and fun but just one main-theme: recycling) by Lorenzo Richiardi aka numeroquattro. Other good projects in his portfolio, don’t miss it.
