Nueva Forma Kontrast Posters & Art by Color Cubic

Color Cubic is the talent behind some of the best designs out there lately, and the work that they've done for Nueva Forma's Kontrast, an AV event in Portland.  Check out the detail shots on the original project page on Behance just to see how much depth was invested in these designs.

Black & White Animal Series by Si Scott

Si Scott is a designer based in Manchester, UK, with a heck of an eye for details.  Really liking these ornate black and white animal renditions--they look so simple and elegant but intricate and abstract at the same time.

Keen Geometric Typography by Fernando Claps

Bravo to these sharp looking geometric type pieces by Fernando Claps from Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Its only a four piece set, but they are each pretty standalone in visual strength.

Classic Swiss Design by Emil Ruder

Looking at a lot of ads and billboards these days, you can easily trace traditional swiss grid design in the type work, where the perfect alignment and placement of text on a print is part of the overlooked design composition.  With the right amount of kerning, margins, and formation of lettering, a design can go from zero to hero, and Emil Ruder here does just that.  

Emil Ruder was born in Swtizerland and studied Bauhaus and typography at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts and later became a typography instructor.
