Work / Graphic Design Twin brothers V/A/B on their “difficultly simple” approach to design

V/A/B is a collaboration between two 19-year old twin brothers, Victor and Arthur Brun. Specialising in an idyllic mixture of typography, design, painting and photography, the duo express their means of creativity in the most harmonious of manners. “We have always worked together; we have never wanted to separate because we’ve always made the same things, so the collaboration was logical for us,” Arthur explains. “At the moment, we do not only consider ourselves as graphic designers: we are young and we need to express ourselves through various means, in mediums such as paintings and photography. We like this relationship between these various disciplines.”

Work / Graphic Design Deutsche & Japaner puts an emphasis on strong aesthetics and handcrafted elements

Germany-based studio Deutsche & Japaner is a multidisciplinary studio, which encourages its designers to “influence each other” through a range of other disciplines. “Our way of designing is primarily based onto task and subject itself,” says the studio. “So we try to dive deep into the topic to understand the needs of communication and the opportunities of referring to something.”

Work / Graphic Design Designer Joe Gilmore’s investigative approach to book design

Designer Joe Gilmore creates typographically-led work for various print and digital projects. His bread and butter is book and cover design and Joe is interested in “the ways in which one can approach the design of making a book”. When designing he considers how readers navigate a book, how it’s read and used.
