Coöp

Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 06 October 2010

When graphic design is this good, it looks utterly effortless and we’re left wondering why we all can’t do it this well. Paul Marcus Fuog opened the doors of Coöp in 2004, and in the years between then and now, has produced some very solid design work indeed. Don’t miss the curious photos for his State of Design Festival piece either.

Jimbo Barbu works under the moniker Studio Jimbo, as an independent designer and art director in Paris on various editorial, branding and identity projects. “My style is communicative, using typography to create impact and power,” explains Jimbo. “Science fiction, art, photography, fashion music are all inspirations and anything can make something click in my head and give me an idea.”

Back in 2015, we noted that Leipzig-based graphic design studio Lamm & Kirch had “produced one of the most varied, fun and colourful back-catalogues of poster work we’ve ever seen.” Praise that’s hard to top maybe, but since then, the studio whose design practice also runs to books, visual identities and exhibitions, has proved its worth – and had its posters recognised by global publications to boot.

Work / Graphic Design Behind Hato’s identity for Samson Young's Venice Biennale pavilion

Among the generally lofty and serious graphic design at Venice Biennale, Hato’s identity for the Hong Kong pavilion by Samson Young is refreshing. Vibrant, haphazard and friendly, the graphic and digital design conveys a wholly different image to many of its neighbours at the fair.

MA Communication Design student Yunus Ak’s current work is driven “by my own personal memory” he tells It’s Nice That. “It’s structured consciously or unconsciously from everywhere I travel and see, everything I read and taste.”
