Lovely work from London’s Andreas Neophytou. He’s got a slick, contemporary style, with a hand firmly in the past as well. I love his clean lines and colors, as well as his conceptual talents. His portfolio is a swath of smart work—a good example being that mark above, designed for William & Son.
Chicago, Illinois based designer Eric Ellis produces clean and colorful graphics via a mixup of classic and contemporary influences.

As someone who has often ruined design projects by improper cutting, I can really appreciate the minimal & perfected result he gets from such a complicated process. I also enjoy the fact that the “typeface” that he uses is distinctly his own, creating a sort of signature across all of his work. (more…)

In the past, he’s designed shirts for Human Empire, and today we’re featuring a collection of communications he’s created for Gites de France.
