[graphics] studio round...
Posted on | 24 August 2010 | 2 Comments
I'm completely smitten with the work of Studio Round. They churn out the type of design I dream of doing; clean, modern, timeless and completely captivating.
It was near impossible to choose one project I liked best, but their print publication for Broadsheet really stood out to me. It's all about the images and clean, prominent type.

spotted mico toledo's music philosophy over on miss moss. he selected some wonderful lyrics and transformed them into beautiful typographical pieces. would really like to buy and frame one of them; the hard part would be deciding which one...

spotted visual designer, caleb owen everitt's portfolio via kt the other day and the simplicity of his designs really spoke to me. i'm finding myself drawn more and more to product design in its rawest form, implementing only basic fonts and illustrations to get a message across.
