Chocolate Trousers is the selected works of UK designer Rob Brearley. Nice work.

Here’s a small studio out of BK (that’s Brooklyn for those that don’t know, now you know…) crankin’ out some nice print, identity, and some sick shoes. Check it out.

Ken Garland Graphic Design

Here’s a blast from the past. Ken Garland was one of the great designers working in the UK towards the second-half of the 20th century. As you can see from his works, he was very much ahead of his time.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Jackson Chang sports a ton of lifestyle product collateral and promotions. Well executed, reeking of style. Look.

These guys have offices in California and Amsterdam. Not too shabby. And the work’s pretty good too. See for yourself.

Seems to be a small photo-retouching shop from Brazil. The site needs some work, but bear with it and you’ll be rewarded with some great visuals and photoshopping. Check it out.

Have a look at Prague based dgú. I dig the site nav and the work a bunch.

Universal Everything

Another shop founded by an ex-tDR member; Matt Pyke presents Universal Everything. Epileptics beware!

UPDATE: Check out this interview with Matt about how he works over at the Apple site.

ANOTHER UPDATE: To rephrase the previous, in no way did I mean to imply that the previously mentioned video was about Matt Pyke working at the Apple website, rather; I meant that a video about Matt Pyke, and how he works, was available to view at the Apple website.

Candy Mag

Issue five-and-a-half of Candy Magazine (The Obsesive Impulsive Issue Part Two) is out now. Stop by their site to subscribe if you haven’t done so already. It’s by far my favorite design-related e-zine, always full of relevant people and suject matter.

K2 Design

K2 Design is based out of Athens, Greece. Unfortunately, I am a simple, ignorant American who cannot speak or read a word of Greek (except gyros and souvlaki), but there’s a lot of lovely packaging to see here and the nav is simple enough to figure out. From what I gather this firm even developed the iconography for the past Summer Olympics. Check it.
