Mario Hugo / Beck – Modern Guilt

Mario Hugo developed several verbal and non verbal concepts for the the album of Beck.
“I was asked to develop bold, iconic concepts for the latest Beck album. This verbal set went unused, though some concepts were later re-appropriated for the tour.”

Alex Trochut

So, get lifted by this guy from Spain, currently living in Barcelona. Alex Trochut is an independent designer and illustrator, who has design in his genes. I reckon he never draw childish pictures, when he was kid. His trees were almost a perfect copy of nature and when he wrote Mama the first time, he invented a new typography. Ok, jokes beside. I was mesmerized by his work and, in turn, I was engaged, surprised and touched by its variety and intensity. His Typography work is vivid and playful with intelligent patterns and merges with his illustration style. The phrase less is more becomes rightly useless in his interpretation of structures and compositions. Even though the work is so vivid, he found the pure form contained within itself.

Non-Format | Design+Music

I am not sure how well known this talented graphic design duo is. But I don’t want to miss the chance to introduce you to them. Non-Format is an Graphic Design Agency leaded by Kjell Ekhorn (Norwegian) and Jon Forss (British). Now their studio is based in London, UK and in Minneapolis, USA. They show us how outstanding and contrasty puristic work can be. Some of their work is published under ” Die Gestalten Verlag”.

And I just think the title of this piece is suitable for this blog.
