Herman Miller 'This Is You'


'This is you' , a commercial for Herman Miller furniture created by Imaginary Forces. Sweet and simple.

Remarkable typography work by Rama Salem - a recent graphic design graduate from Edinburgh College of Art. All of her designs contain some element of hands-on craft and display a great attention to detail.

I bought this only so that I could keep the packaging, although the brownies were pretty good too.

Fiona Purves

Fiona has recently graduated with a degree in Illustration from Edinburgh. I love the hand-made element in her work, in particular the recipe bowl pictured above - it's a bowl with a recipe on it!

Genevieve Ryan

I came across Genevieve Ryan's work at this year's D&AD New Blood Exhibition. I like the contrast between thin and thick lines and the sporadic splash of colour in most of her work. I'll be definitely looking into getting a t-shirt or a sketchbook designed by Genevieve.

Harriet Russell

I find Harriet Russell's work really pleasing to the senses and nostalgic. I love the soft and delicate hue of the images and hand drawn type.

Vince Frost


Vince Frost has always been one of my many design influences. His designs are simple, bold and honest, placing a particular emphasis on problem solving.
