More great, slick graphic design work from Mike Lemanski

It’s little surprise that Mike Lemanski’s graphic design work has been something of an It’s Nice That favourite, and since we last posted about him in 2013 he’s not let his style slip. Mike’s site boasts some beautiful, mature designs for Feuilleton magazine, which takes articles from various international publications such as The New York Times, translates them into French and publishes issues every quarter.

The four covers Mike designed stem from a brief to include text on the cover for the first time. “I put forward the idea of hiding the titles of the issue’s articles within an illustration which would be a graphic representation of the season in which the issue was published, starting in autumn through to summer,” he explains. As well as work for Feuilleton, Mike’s also been commissioned to work for clients including Creative Review magazine, Lacoste and Intel, but on the side he’s been indulging in his mission to create a poster for every episode of the original series of The Twilight Zone, two of which you can see below.

A blue book cover featuring bold, multi-coloured typography layered over white clouds. The title at the top reads “FEUILLETON”, followed by several headlines including “MES LÉGIONNAIRES” and “QUAND ELVIS RENCONTRA NIXON”.
