Lots and lots to be jealous of at Barcelona based Toormix

Plenty of new and lovely stuff from Onlab

Last night me and some of the guys from here went down to the RSA Vaults to have a bit of a peek at the graduates-to-be from Falmouth.

To be honest it turned into a bit of a reunion more than a folio tasting but from the people that I talked to I did manage to pick out a few that won’t have much trouble finding jobs!

Chloe Trundle has some really nice editorial and although she is still populating her site it already gives a pretty good indication of just how decent her work is!

Thomas Brooks has some really great typographic work, including his very own ‘Work’ typeface and a fair bit of well considered branding

Phil Skinner has some great classic advertising work, and has already gained some recognition for his ‘Durex fantasy’ work.

Other than that there were the very talented Jake Applebee and James Le Beau Morley who, even though they are having some issues with their sites, will be appearing in every design blog soon enough!

I’m usually pretty skeptical about these shows – but I admit i was thoroughly impressed by the level of deep brand thinking, experimentation, commercial aptitude and even by just how enthusiastic they all were!

(aaaah wait ’till you work for a while - ‘they’ will beat that out of you)

Up the Resolution came to over to the studio a couple of weeks ago so show their reel - and, beisdes being thoroughly nice people, they’ve got skills!

Nice layouts and work from Berlin based Jung + Wenig

Eye melting stuff from Felice Varini.

I like the work of Christian Lopez - All 86% of it!
