Lovers aka Jonathan Calugi is a veritable one man show. He creates modern, fresh vector collages and stylish, powerful type forms. His dense, mezmerizing patterns are completely engaging and leave you with the sense that there is always something new to find amidst the curves and angles of these intertwined compositions. The Italian illustrator’s type forms are based largely off of basic shapes, but with a sincere complexity that makes them fresh and accessible.

Surpised! Joshua Distler hide and seek website interface sports a chic new minimalist ditching a mile away black on white approach. Using shades of dark chocolate, marron and charcoal code bars like horizontal spans stating in text only, the projects he did. Smart use of clients name to detour instant credibility your way.
Mouseover, small but well-chosen thumbnails entice the viewer to click-on to discover his portfolios pieces. His “pièces de résistance”.
His skills are superlative! LUV the logo and signature Tshirt for the Visit London tourism office.

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.
