Retro Recreations of Recognizable Logos
We can all agree that the 1980s had a very specific aesthetic that proliferated into all areas of our culture, from fashion to music to graphic design and everything in between. So when digital artist/musician/internet persona Future Punk recently took some, ahem, very recognizable brands and gave them an 80s-styled retro makeover, we swooned. Future…
Read MorePhenomenal Posters of the New York Film Festival
Posters are some of our favorite, yet challenging, projects. Poster design is a marriage between visual aesthetic and the delivery of information, between textual and graphical elements… the very fundamentals of graphic design. It should come as no surprise, then, that an institution as important and influential as the New York Film Festival places great…
Read MoreNBA Art by Nick Bascus
Having a close relationship with marketing at ESPN, we see (and create ourselves) lots of sports-related designs. We recently came across the work of a young Texas-based designer by the name of Nick Bascus.

So it’s no wonder we’re so taken with this series of photographs by Danish photographer Mikkel Jul Hvilshøj.…

Well, that’s actually not exactly accurate. We completed (most of) the renovation of our Rochester studio in the late spring/early summer, but our new chairs finally just arrived a little while ago. So, thought it fitting to unveil in the new year. While it’s not a huge space, we tried to maximize what room we do…
Read MoreA Stylistic Survey of Graphic Design
The folks at Brooklyn-based Pop Chart Lab have done it again. Their proficiency for infographical treatments is astounding, no matter the subject matter. Whether it be a “Visual Compendium of Guitars” or “Cartography of Kitchenware” or any number of alcohol-related compositions (think “The Marvelous Mixology of Martinis”, “Fantastical Fictive Beers”, “Wineries of Napa”, etc.), the…
Read MoreNegative Space Animals
Art director/illustrator George Bokhua, based in the Eurasian state of Georgia, has an affinity for both animals and negative space. This fantastic series marries both in these self-proclaimed masterpieces. Working with negative space is actually more difficult than it may look, but in the hands of Bokhua these marks really shine. Excellent work. Via Behance
