Hofstede Design (located down under) “specialises in identity, publication and environmental graphic design. In a time of ‘brand strategists’ and ‘information architects’, we are doers, not talkers.
Our experience traverses the shift from analogue to digital, from the drawing board to the keyboard, and we appreciate that real originality exists in the hand and the head, and not the hard disk.”
How’s that as mission statement?

Just like the having humor popping colors hand drawn like deconstructivism meets psychedelia illustration style of Andrew Joyce who probably ingested at some point, large doses of Yellow Submarine (and similar projects).

Adam Rix decided he was going to take full advantage of a full-screen portfolio as well as a full-time freelancer. He came as a designer, and left as a creative head. He’s won over 30 industry awards for his work. Now he’s branching out by himself and looking for assignments. He specialises in design, art direction and branding and has done a pretty good job at it.
The focus of all of his work is ideas. True!

Leterme Dowling designed the very-slick-and-stark black and white brand identity and marketing materials for Counter-Print.co.uk. Gotta luv the tongue in cheek reference that mostly, books are printed on white page with black text. And smell terrific.
Sorry for having you break your neck reading – please indulge in the good care advice for books on the tote bag. Delicious read. And that from book lovers as us.
