Top Ten Designers

Grandpeople – I have known about these Norweigen guys for a while now and i have never seen anything like it before especially with some of their letterforms. I love their organic nature and think their work is fabulous. I especially like the type treatment for their Nike designs its absolutely class.

 

 

 

 

 

Matt Keers – he is a young designer and is very clever, he has produced some really nice style of branding which is really simple and clean yet looks professional. I really like his book he made below where he used triangles to represent a letter of the alphabet, such as 3 triangles would represent C and 7 triangles would represent G and so on.

 

 

 

 

 

Effektive Design – I really like this guys work, it is very clean and and “effektive”, he has created some really nice badges like the cassette tape and lego. He is a very talented designer and I just really like his work.

 

 

 

 

 

Adam Morris – is a young designer, and his designs are simple with a good idea behind them. I especially like the degree show invite design below which was done on tracing paper to try and hide information, great.

 

 

 

 

Jean Jullien – He is currently doing his masters at the Royal Academy of Arts, however he has still be commissioned by loads of various companies. His work is witty, original and always seems to put a smile on my face. His work is very playful and he loves drawing and cutting out monsters and creating a set out of them to photograph which look great.

Sebastian Fischer and Philipp Hubert – These guys have their own dutch studio called visiotypen and I love their typographic work which you can see below.

 

 

 

 

 

Stefan Sagmeister – I just love this guy, he always takes design to the next level and i just love his typographic and visual style he has, he is innovative and his designs are unbelievably striking. The one he is most rememebered for is for the AIGA poster he did where he wanted to visualize pain so he had his intern cut all the type into his body, thats just class.
