Graphic Design: It's raining graphic design! Meet the talented Jessica Svendsen

Date
30 January 2014

When you’re tired on a grey, raining morning such as this one it’s hard to find something that really cheers you up. Sometimes I feel that even if someone gave me a flower on a cold winter morning I’d probably boff them in the face. Hopefully this unbelievable portfolio of colour and informed design from Pentagram’s very own Jessica Svendsen will kick the life back into you as it did me. We came across Jessica’s work on aesthetically-pleasing scroll-fest But Does it Float and were instantly drawn in like horny little bees to a pretty flower when we saw her Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and Haas Arts Library identity. It’s raining really good graphic design! Come on, Let’s get WET.
