Founded in 1992 Spin’s work covers print, television and interactive design. Their clients range from the small and local to the large and international and are excited by challenging thinking, imagery and typography. For them graphic design is about content, functionality, expression and the physical nature of the medium they’re working in. Collaboration within the studio, with their clients and with photographers, illustrators, programmers, typographers and animators is also fundamental to their process. They believe that successful graphic design must have originality, relevance, clarity and an element of risk and with such a consistently impressive output, who are we to disagree?

For the past eight years Seoul-based design studio Millimeter/Milligram (Mmmg) has been making stationery and accessories that get attention for their fresh color combos and pop art design.

Almir Da Silva Mavignier was born 1925 in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and educated at Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm under Max Bill, a heady mixture to start with, if you aren’t familiar with his work he might be the best designer you’ve never heard of. He worked/works – I’m not sure – as a freelance designer and artist in Germany for 50 years, his work is a combination of ‘Konkrete Kunst’ and Op-Art. The website is a bit fussy (and in German) but the work, when you eventually find it, is cracking.
