Studio Wan brings back the desire for books, covers, pages, paper, pictures, layouts... the whole book experience that brought us here to design world. Paper lust. [Link↓]

Domino NewYork does proper placement, proper elevation, and proper art direction and it all just works, of course. Right, clean, and black and white. Feels good. [Link↓]

TmpState is a foundry with a couple of quiet super start typefaces that if you know you know (Panama is the mono to go for). Taste master keys. [Link↓]

All Purpose are absolutely amazing and perfectly London. They are launching a type foundry soon, they have a magazine called Slop that is the completely opposite, and then they can switch tone while keeping this legend print quality. Superb. [Link↓]

CTHDRL (@cthdrl) has this design Twitter spirit of doing their thing with total honesty, heavily on crypto, not caring so much about some trends, and but you know what, I like this spirit. Authenticity pays off. [Link↓]

Twice Shy knows how to take any product and transform it into a magical treasure with a brand you are going to remember. Great brand framing technique. [Link↓]

Graphics Dept (@graphics_dept) has the best name and they are producing good honest clean graphics that last. More than good department. [Link↓]

Is 2000s Americana back? I am not sure but Matey is so good and the vibe lends itself so much to great type that I have to go for it. Well crafted type always wins. [Link↓]

I have been in deep deep love with Franz Grünewald's photography and his world. It feels like a fresh November weekend in the best company. Expensive quiet. So beautiful and haptic. [Link↓]

Anne Stiefel is very German, very paper, very good, and very 2000s. I don't think she has updated her folio in a while but the work is so good that it works without a hitch. Good works (almost) last forever. [Link↓]

SourceType is an incredible type studio with amazing typefaces, amazing articles, amazing thinking, and an amazing website. Another of those teams from another planet. [Link↓]

Chris Wang is one of the designers behind Tesla's interfaces and that is amazing. Imagine being able to design an interface of that magnitude. One can only dream. [Link↓]

Axel Pelletanche completely owns this almost lost quality of print designers making all the difference by placing something big at the right time. Subtly powerful. [Link↓]

Joane Joo is the perfect illustrator. Massive talent, massive taste, massive clients. She tops every chart. Very super star. [Link↓]

Ana Realmuto is a big studio brand woman. Impressive resumé, solid work, right location... and right everything really. Top. [Link↓]

Nothing says graphic status than a slideshow folio with five images working flawlessly. Albert Romagosa is big taste talent. [Link↓]

The Woork is a Madrid based small studio that has found their footing and made a serious jump in quality. I like small going big. [Link↓]

Ultra Kuhl is very much so. But jokes aside, their typefaces are absolutely fantastic, perfect. I am working with a client using one of theirs and I only have praise for Kuhl. Craft. [Link↓]

For all we chat about only showing the best projects, we are all guilty of not applying the lesson. We should learn from Raquel Pallejà, she is showing only six projects with five images each but they are so so well built and presented. Quality. [Link↓]

Creech are at the top top top of consumer branding and this is their moment. Their art direction is what it is going to last forever, it could not be more perfect than this. Absolutely superb. So beautiful. [Link↓]

Felix Wittich's photos have that perfect beige and sand calm I am so very much at home with. This soft light choice builds such a beautiful word look. Is world building a photography thing? It should be. [Link↓]

Nam & Marc is a design tag team that live on the web and their work is absolutely superb. Very progressive, well built, and tasteful in interactive beauty details. So so good. [Link↓]

Jeremy Tribby (@jeremytribby) at CounterType is a type craftsman expert in technical intricacies and artistic subtleties and I, as a long time respecter and fan of craftsmen, salute the type master. One to save for a big project. [Link↓]

Gärde Design Studio is pure Swedish white-cyber and you may say this vibe is very 2010s but I say, until home robots become boring, this vibe is more valid. Also, they produce great type (foundry.gardedesign.se). Super hard working. [Link↓]

I suffer from a certain fetish with print graphic design but I recognise that interface fetish is also a thing worth suffering. I really enjoy the work of people who love interfaces as much as Roko Gabrilo. Clean obsession. [Link↓]

Trackmeet is the studio of Anna McCaleb and Tim Praetzel and if I had a Lodon pizzeria with the best tomatoes, I'll call them. Cool couple doing fun things is a good studio recipe. [Link↓]

Democracia Studio is doing subtle good taste stuff in Valencia, they have the talent to make the jump and they will. Don't like the name but I like the taste and taste is all that matters in this timeline. [Link↓]

Sabato Visconti (@sabatobox) is fully dedicated to elevate glitches into art and he is succeeding. The art of our moment. Also his Tumblr is a lot of fun glitchphotography.tumblr.com/archive [Link↓]

Nike man Gunnar Harrison knows when to touch with magic and create enigmatic pieces. These logos feel good. [Link↓]

In the world of design, being more presentation than substance means solid substance. I like Melody Digital's small type, big spaces, tech presentation. So tech. [Link↓]

A good idea for a brand is to keep it simple and spend a lot of time finding an expensive understated typeface that kills. Frost has just that. The Loro Piana of typefaces. [Link↓]

Talking about designers belonging to a better timeline, Lorena Manhães creates such elegant work with perfect photography that I am already saving for a working interdimensional portal. Beautiful textures. [Link↓]

Blair Hodge is a hyper clean designer working for a better timeline than ours, one where sleek and pro are ordinary and we dress like we should. Serious. [Link↓]

Paul Rousteau is a star photographer and he is one of the few truly creative in photography. The way he works with bleeding light and distortions is amazing and he is able to make it work for huge clients like Hermés and Vuitton. Magnificent. [Link↓]

J.D. Reeves (@jdreeves) looks like a nice man and designs nice things. Good honest logos with good intentions and good output . [Link↓]

And now for a change, some art. If you didn't know Tomas Sarraceno, you should and now you do. Very famous, very cell subdivided, and very spectacular. Well referenced. [Link↓]

Dominique Saiegh (@dominiq_xyz) likes classic modern youth vibes and good placed type. Simple and very Univers. [Link↓]

Victor Clemente is an international talent from Madrid working at the highest levels and the big brands like Apple have not tamed his soul. This man has the graphic magic inside him. Superb. [Link↓]

Seventeen Agency is big doing big projects for big clients and they are even bigger when they do their thing. Please big clients, let them cook. Art potential. [Link↓]

I realised that Helado Negro (@HeladoNegro) released a new album and the amazing cover art was by Robert Beatty (@EdSunspot). Super star, collaborator of Dries Van Noten, and unique hard working soul of the weird. Absolutely legend. [Link↓]

There are not enough days in the week to re-post ActualSource. These couple are absolute top in creative direction, client selection, and absolute taste. [Link↓]

You already know Vasilis Marmatakis and his posters but let me point attention to his website and the insane flex on not showing projects but google searchers for his own work. Amazing. [Link↓]

Angelina Pischikova has an unusual combo of projects but Port Magazine and Freedom are two to keep. I bet her deep NDA folio must be legend. Very pro. [Link↓]

As much as I criticise Spain, I must admit Spanish interior design is great at this good vibes, soft, light, and modern commercial style. Clap Studio are the epitome of that style and I really like it. [Link↓]

Ofform Studio have a great talent to apply colour. Just look at those incredible gradients for Jiri Krejcirik and the superb beige selection in their Maggy brand. Well done works by itself. [Link↓]

Eloisa Iturbe is a pro for TV graphics and she makes it work. However, looking at pro TV graphics made me realise that the norms and style of TV are inherently from another era. Who watches modern TV? [Link↓]

The cure to all illnesses of the spirit is looking at beautiful images (at least for me). So here is my treatment plan for today, enjoy Jens Ingvarsson photos, everything is fine, everything looks great. Pretty. [Link↓]

Rio (@riomadeit) is a big X man and logo maniac with hardworking talent to spare. Top of the chart in here. [Link↓]

The lux imagery of Cowboy Agency makes us feel so lavish, so perfect. Great creative direction. [Link↓]
