Lifelong Friendship Society was formed with the intention of channeling a diverse range of creative abilities and inspirational vision into one vibrant organism. A collective of individuals that share a love of creative communication, visual story telling and brand development by both traditional and non traditional means. Using animation, live action, design, illustration, and typography we help to craft and expand the aesthetic bounds of our patrons.
LFS recently redesigned their website with a new colour pallette, easy to use navigation, and loads of LFS style.

Mario Hugo‘s site may be sparse on visual details, but dig one layer lower and you find that the real gems lie just below the surface. The talented illustrator/designer has produced work for a range of clients including Microsoft, Nike and Dolce and Gabbana.
His work deftly incorporates hand-drawn elements, type and photography into wholly unique and layered compositions.
His use of negative/positive space to convey shape and type is inspirational.

Romania-based designer, Stefan Lucut‘s work is a mix of type, photography, and vector elements, infused with a modern, contemporary feel. He mixes vibrant colors, seriffed typography and primitive shapes to create imagery that is both bold and strong.
Despite the minimalist nature of his site, it does not take long to recognize the maturity and imagination that comes through in his work.

Multi-continent-based design firm, Non-Format, believes in the concept of keeping busy-very busy. Aside from their deep roster of client projects, the firm has produced a best-selling monograph, held a series of solo shows and even find the time to art direct a journal of illustration and design. Creatively, their work blends a range of styles and elements to create a fun, engaging and sometimes visually arresting body of work.

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest come the very talented design/illustration team known as Jolby & Friends. Colby Nichols and Josh Kenyon are art directors by day who decided to come together and pool their collective talents on an array of freelance projects.
While still in the beginning stages of their partnership, they have already embarked on a range of identity and illustration projects AND have just finished their first solo exhibition entitled, Home is Where You Make it.
This talented duo is worth keeping your eyes on.
