A bit of a fun one for friday.
A fantastic typeface from new London based studio Sherrif made me grin through it’s unashamed brutality and bluntness.

Also check out the clip art version done in the same style. Great stuff.

Work / Publication Graphic designer Braulio Amado picks out his favourite posters of 2016 from his new book

Portuguese graphic designer Braulio Amado has just released a new book through Lisbon-based publisher Stolen Books that catalogues the enormous amount of posters he created in 2016. The books contains over 100 posters and the selection process was fairly straightforward for Braulio. “Except for two or three posters I couldn’t find the high res images for, all the work I did in 2016 ended up in the book,” he says. “I also took two posters out of it because they were really, really bad and I felt embarrassed. Besides that I just organised them in chronological order, which was interesting because you can definitely tell where my head was at during some weeks.”

Work / Graphic Design London-based Osheyi Adebayo references his childhood in his retro graphic design

London-based graphic designer Osheyi Adebayo settled on design after realising it offered him the variety he craved. “While studying fine art at North West Kent College, it was that time to choose a subject for university. I knew I just wanted to pick something where I could freely experiment with various mediums such as illustration, digital elements and photography, just to create a mixture of art and design,” he explains. “I saw that graphic design fitted that criteria so I racked up a graphic design portfolio just in time, and it was enough to get me into Solent Southampton University.”

Work / Graphic Design Noah Beckwith’s experimental approach to his “stream-of-consciousness” posters

“My style is always evolving, but I think a common thread throughout is that my work always appears to have something almost wrong with it,” explains New York designer Noah Beckwith. “I like to think of it as teetering on the brink of disaster. Lately I’ve been exploring ugliness and precision as a means of constructing beauty or intrigue. I’ve been imposing restrictions on myself, and forcing myself to use certain colours, elements or typefaces with little compromise.”
