Jurgis has some fantastic design work, and is currently honing his skills at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. The type on this second poster is really very nice, and although not too much to look at yet – slip this guy in your bookmarks.

How do you make a sweaty club look tempting in the hot summer months? You call design studio Lennarts & de Bruijn to make you a series of naughty moving posters.

Work / Graphic Design Alex Fergusson on the provocative and powerful nature of surface graphics

Surface Multiples: Hiding in Plain Sight, is a series of projects by Royal College of Art graduate Alex Fergusson. Whilst creating work exploring ornamental language and symbolism in contemporary architecture, Alex began to notice buildings masked with digital printed imagery of architectural facades – often with no relationship to the building it covers. It was this sense of irony that first prompted the Surface Multiples series. “The element of humour and pantomime expressed through these temporary architectures was my initial interest, and as the project progressed I realised that the multiplications of surface (of this kind) are not only limited to architectural facades, but also the built environment, in particular construction sites across London.”

Work / Graphic Design Meet music-obsessed graphic designer François Boulo

French graphic designer and art director François Boulo, 22, grew up in Brittany but moved in Paris earlier this year. “I wanted to discover what kind of inspirations, opportunities, and way of life the city has to offer,” he told us. “Today I’m working for a company as a full-time web and print designer and doing freelance work in my free time.”

Work / Graphic Design Darius Ou creates dynamic, typographic identity for electronic music festival

Designer Darius Ou has created an identity for ScopePlus, an electronic music and art festival held in Huddersfield. Set up by record label Mutualism this year, the festival combines live music with an art exhibition and workshops. Darius was brought in by his friend Sebastian Zimmerhackl who is also part of the design team, “he was working in Germany and the client were in the UK, whereas I was in Singapore, so we all communicated through emails, Skype and Facebook,” explains Darius.

Work / Graphic Design Violaine & Jérémy and Anna Kovecses collaborate on this refined identity for a Paris theatre

Paris-based studio Violaine & Jérémy has created a new visual identity for the 2017/2018 season of the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord. The studio has worked with the institution since 2015 and this year’s identity is inspired by imagining the theatre as a person and what that character would see when travelling through Paris.

Work / Graphic Design “We enjoy using nonsense to communicate”: Neo Neo design another great identity for La Bâtie

Over the summer months, many festivals from music to the arts pop up over cities across the world. Each are branded individually and many end up looking similar following current design trends, but not when they’re designed by Swiss studio, Neo Neo.
