A Huge thanks to the Mighty Deals for sponsoring this week’s RSS Feed!

Depositphotos has become the fastest-growing microstock agency with a collection of more than 8 million images. They work with the best contributors, including Yuri Arcurs, Andres Rodrigues and many others, who regularly offer new masterpieces.
But good stock images are expensive, aren’t they? Paying $9 or more per image can add up quick and break the budget for a lot of projects, especially if you need larger sizes. That’s why Mighty Deals has a special deal for you: download up to 100 high-quality royalty-free images of any size for just $99 (normally $900 for the XXL size!) from Depositphotos.
If you need more than 100 images you can get the super duper deal of 200 high-quality images for just $160(regular price up to $1800 for XXL) – that brings the price down to just $0.80 per image! These are huge discounts!

Element One
Element One is a Polish design studio specializing in identity and publication design. Their work is crisp and to the point.
I’m a big fan of their editorial work; the use of scale along with type and image is fascinating. Nothing feels untouched. They can make things loud and bold but delicate at the same time.

Sophie Alda
A friend turned me onto London based illustrator Sophie Alda’s work, and I immediately fell in love. The content of her work is so strange and exciting, especially when she juxtaposes architectural buildings with unusual figures. Her use of muted tints and shades of color are a nice touch, as well as the various abstract forms she creates. Definitely be on the lookout for this gal!

Bandito Design Co.
Bandito Design Co. is the home of designer/illustrator extraordinaire Ryan Brinkerhoff. Ryan has his hands firmly entrenched in the exciting gig-poster, screenprinting, music-meets-design scene. He also possesses some fancy hand lettering skills. Skim through his work: it’s hard not to like. I really love his color palettes, and the mileage he can get from using such a small number of colors.
