fg branddesign is a small studio based in Stuttgart, Germany. I’m digging their work for Avantgarde Acoustic, shown above.

New illustrations by Tatiana Plakhova from Moscow. If you haven’t seen her work you might want to check out some of her other projects, including complexity graphics.

Thomas Traum has designed 25 amazing 3D renderings for this years “Most Beautiful Swiss Books” in collaboration with Carl Burgess and Laurenz Brunner.

The way Traum’s 3D kitsch interplay with Brunner’s occult-like multi-column layout works rather nicely. The overall effect – glossy renderings opposite dense blackness – feels appropriate for something that can risk being perversely self referential.

If I could only find a copy of Bryce 3D…maybe all these American design annuals would be a little more interesting.

Photography from Kate Peters, UK.

I’m loving this site design for Deconstruction Records by Kleber out of the UK. The site is based from their new identity by Farrow. Via Visuelle.

One of my earliest influences in design is none other than Tae Won Yu. His work for the Olympia, WA music scene circa the 90′s showed me design could be both playful and expressive. Looking at his work challenged me to break down boundaries I was taught in school. From Built to Spill’s ‘Perfect From Now On’ to Versus latest release, ‘On the One’s and Threes’, Tae continues to remind me why I love to do what I do.

Will Ricketts from the UK puts up a new site.

Brittny Badger wrote in with some really nice design, illustration, and disassembled household appliance art. These photos are from her “senior thesis project at the hartford art school this past year…i took apart used cooking/cleaning appliances, and arranged their interior parts very systematically on a white sheet of bristol board. my intention was to explore the hidden “brains” of these appliances; allowing us to view these everyday objects from a new perspective.”

Visualism is a multi-disc studio based out of Hamburg, Germany. They just launched their new site.

Brand New School‘s recent ‘brand expansion’ for Cartoon Network. The main facets of the project included a new logo, a complete visual identity system, and a broadcast package with 14 custom on-air IDs. Full list of credits here.

You may have noticed, over the last week or so, an “attack site” warning message when trying to visit TSA. We were attacked by a hack that’s been plaquing the WordPress community. Luckily it did no harm and we’ve fully removed the malware from our site. The message might take another day or two to be removed from Google’s system, at which time we’ll be resuming normal posting.

London based Bibliotheque updates.

Simon French wrote in to tell us about his recent update. He’s currently attending Chelsea College of Art and Design, London. Thanks for the note.

Music video shot and directed by my friends John Henry Baliton and John Bollozos.

Pretty stunning photography from Justin Quinnell. These shots are the result of a 6 month long exposure taken with pinhole coke can cameras attached to telephone poles around Bristol, England. The streaking effect is the sun’s trajectory from winter solstice to summer solstice. Via iso50.
