All sorts of goodies here at Seattle’s General Public. I’m diggin the site’s layout and illustrations. The work is a great sampling of different mediums and media from an interesting cross-section of clients. On the whole, everything is well put together.
Hey Good Lookin’…
Baltimore super-studio, and sex-symbol extraordinaires, Flush (that’s us for those of you at home) have redesigned, and relaunched with some new work. We’re proud of the new site, but always insatiable, so be on the look out for some updates, new projects, and some changes in store here at DNFTF in the not too distant future.
Gui Borchert
Gui was recently honored by Print Magazine as one of their Top 20 New Visual Artists. Take a look at his site. He’s doing some great work.

Well put.
Scott Wilson
Meet the man responsible for redesigning Swingline, penning the iconic Nike Presto watch, and developing the Quinze & Milan social sofa series. Scott Wilson was recently profiled in the October issue of Fast Company, as well as over at the design blog MoCo Loco. He’s recently been named director of Motorola’s department for wearable design. If his concepts for Nike are any clue, it’ll be a safe bet that Motorola will redefine how we use technology to communicate in the not too distant future.
Image Now
Friday the 13th is pretty spooky. One of the scariest movies I remember watching was Leprechaun (the sequels were questionable, at best, especially Leprechaun VI, Leprechaun in the Hood), which brings us to our next profile: Irish super-studio Image Now. Part consultancy, part gallery, they seem to pull off both pretty well. From the poster pictured above charting all punched landed between Muhammed Ali and George Foreman’s epic battle in Zaire (available at Blanka) to the Josef Müller Brockmann exhibition they had running at their gallery space, their work just oozes refinement.

Brazillian designer Athila Armstrong runs the Neuerepublika site, showcasing some very nice interactive work in a fairly structured flash-based scheme. There is some great work to be seen here, besides the site itself. Go dig around.
