Graphic Design: Yehrin Tong's new site revels in her maximalist brilliance

Graphic designer Yehrin Tong has a smart new website which gives free rein to her fantastic maximalist creations. The Central Saint Martins graduate has no time for the clean, crisp reductive approach so on-trend right now, rather her patterns, motifs and type treatments for both commercial and editorial clients revel in colour, repetition and optical illusions. The Darwin cover in particular is a triumph; more monkey patterns in 2014 we say!
