This UK-based duo has been turning out some ass-kicking design for some time now. Whether it’s an album cove with Bjork giving birth to an octopus, to outdoor advertising for UK telecom Orange, the two manage to get the message across in a seemingly surreal way. See for yourselves.
From the firm’s manifesto:
“We start with ideas
Pay attention to detail
Offer pragmatism and finesse
Make work that speaks for itself
Maintain that ornament is crime
and less is more
Don’t have a secretary
Are a multi-cultural team
Work across Europe
Allow 21 days for payment
Produce good design”
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.
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.
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.
