Cristiana Couceiro

Great use of layout, typography, colour and images from designer Cristiana Couceiro. The above images are from a book review spread in The New York Times. Love the modernist influence throughout all her work.

Maxwell Holyoke-Hirsch

Very nice illustrative visual style from Maxwell Holyoke-Hirsch. Currently living and working in San Francisco, he has a "strong love for creating thought-provoking images", with some very impressive client work on his website including Virgin Records, The New York Times and GQ.

Raf Vancampenhoudt

Featured designer on the Designer-Daily blog, Raf Vancampenhoudt, has a great use of typography displayed throughout his work with some very nice layouts and attention to detail.

Cina Associates

Nice graphic/illustration work above by Cina Associates, created for the Computer Arts Magazine. I've only just found about about this company yet they've worked for some huge brand names including Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Fox and Mazda. Their online portfolio includes some very strong branding work and is definitely worth a look.

Aimee Wilder

These clean, simple and effective prints were produced by American designer Aimee Wilder whose work is also available to purchase from her website as wallpaper and posters. She draws her inspiration from contemporary graphic art and the design world including typography, logo design, illustration, textiles, urban toy design and rock poster art.

Akatre

French based design studio Akatre have recently updated their online portfolio with graphic design, photography and publication work. Founded by 3 students who all met at university, they aim to produce "good design [that] answers to the problematic of a brief with an extra conceptual vision."

Amy Ruppel

Some very impressive artwork by Amy Ruppel, the above images are from her 'State Animals Series' where she has created an individual design for each American state. She has used wax, paper and oils on wood for these pieces giving them a fine handmade quality, some of which are still available to purchase from her website.

Eyjafjallajökull Volcano

With further flight disruption from the Icelandic volcano as a second ash cloud drifts over Ireland, I thought I'd post some images from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano 'Flikr' site. It's not often people get the chance to photograph an erupting volcano so congrats to those who were actually brave enough to get close enough to capture these stunning shots.

Pascal Blanchet

Despite being a young designer this guy has got a great retro style to his work that I'm really envious of, reminds me of vintage french poster art. Have a look at his website here, full of illustrations, posters, packaging and book designs.

depotArt

Found some very nice work over at the "But Does It Float" website (it has a bit of an annoying layout with all the never-ending scrolling, but still worth a look). They've posted some pieces from the 'depotArt' site that features a great deal of sleek looking computer generated art that has a great element of movement to them.

Johan Rostwall

Some interesting designs by Johan Rostwall, his site also displays some really nice illustration work. Give it a look here.

Learn Something New Everyday!

Just found this website titled 'Learn Something New Everyday', a daily project by UK design company 'Young'. They post an illustrated fact everyday, above is today's fact from April 30th.

Naz Hamid

Some striking photography of stormy skies by Naz Hamid here. He is also the founder of 'Weightshift' design company based in San Fransisco and Chicago, whose stuff is well worth a look at.

Aaina Sharma

Some very nice calligraphy work by student Aaina Sharma, a senior at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She specializes in graphic design, typography and package design. Take a look at her work here.
