I’ve blogged about Rocío Martinavarro before, but she’s got more than one gorgeous project, so enjoy your double dip of this award-winning Pratt graduate, who (exotically) hails from Barcelona!

The above project is for Dix Cafe in Barcelona:

“Named after the german painter Otto Dix, the Dix cafe in Barcelona is a jump to the past, to Berlin, to 1920’s…” - Dix Cafe project

This particular project is loaded with orgasmic typographic experimentation, amplified by a stark color palette of black and slightly-off-white. Drool with me …. 

A Friend of Mine, an Australian graphic design company, continually produces low-key, under the radar projects with mind blowing originality, wit, and power.

This project, an identity and way-finding for a student exhibition is an example of their design superpowers. 

With a desire to emphasize the hand-done process integral to the student exhibition, AFOM chose six silhouettes of hands in various stages of “process.” These silhouettes became frames for intricate and brilliantly hued dioramas depicting process. 

Another A+ execution. 

(PS: Seems like there’s something in the water down under … Aussie designers keep whipping out amazing work.)

Not her newest piece (this is from 2007), but I love this project by Inka Järvinen, who does some beautiful illustration and collaborations with designers. She works with Werklig.
