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 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.
It’s interesting to note when looking at work from different parts of the globe, you begin to see visual styles almost like languages with different dialects, spread out across geographical areas. So today’s lesson will be in French. Enjoy the works of La Bonne Merveille.
From Vienna, Lichtwitz is our first Austrian entry. I’m sure the site nav would not be as frustrating if I was a native speaker. Go fumble around for yourself and enjoy the sites.
Don’t know much about him except that something happened involving him and New York in April. Check out some very nice editorial.
You all should know build aka Michael C. Place. He was a former member of shit-hot-Sheffield-based The Designers Republic back in the heyday. I think playing WipeOut on the first Playstation I got it for Christmas convinced me to get into the field of graphic design. I had never seen anything like tDR was doing before.
Sorry for the trip down memory lane, I digress… anyway, check out the new look book he’s done for photographer Timothy Saccenti (he did the site too). Check out his archive of works too.
A’ is the personal portfolio of Brazilian Clarissa Tossin. Check the site for some static and motion technicolor goodness.
Straight out of Oslo, design shop Bleed has recently added some new works to their site. Also accompanying the new work is news that the firm has launched a concept design store called One. It stocks one of each of it’s hand-picked pieces (hence the name) giving the consumer an opportunity to be the first and last peson to buy it.
There’s something to be said for smart, British design. While I’m not sure exactly what it is that should be said, I do know that a picture is worth a thousand words. There’s like a billion-jillion words over at the Departures site.
