Studio Laucke - Amsterdam

I want to focus my work more into using solely typography. Studio Laucke do it well, all of their work is original and sets a new trend in the design/type world. I admire their use of font, layout and colour, and i will apply their considerations to my practice.

Hans Gremmen

German Graphic Designer Hans Gremmen is a master of clean, precise type and layout, and stock/print finishes. I'd like to move my practice along these lines, focusing more on information I am communicating but adding that extra touch of subtle design that makes it stand alone from the rest.

latacagrafica - Barcelona

Promoting the Helvetica isn't anything new, everyone uses it, it's everywhere. I think Graphic Design Firm Lataca Grafica have done an impressive job. Excellent type structures photographed in some of the most welcoming places, really makes Helvetica appeal as more than just a typeface.

Monsieur Cabinet

Here are a number of wordplay designs by Monsieur Cabinet, They are witty and clever, often making you read the words aloud before you 'get' it. I like their interaction with an audience, and they relate to the xmas cards I designed for Tag: Pac. I plan to bring more of this style of interactive design into my practice.

Volcom Zine

Volcom, the skateboarding company, publish a webzine every month filled with quirky illustrations based around skateboarding. The content is fun, and most of the pages rely on concept and message through illustration...not just 'nice' illustrations. I think the webzine has a good view of its target audience and this is why the Volcom webzine works.
