This time of the month our designer and newest recruit Anna tells us about some of the design studios she’s been drooling over lately.<\/p>\n

1. Maddison Graphic \u2013 Norwich, UK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Maddison Graphic is a design studio based in Norwich, working mainly in print. I love how their work has an almost lo-fi, slightly retro aesthetic; it also feels very British. The projects are presented in a really clean and simple way \u2013 with loads of white space, and no explanatory text \u2013 letting the designs speak for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Paul Belford \u2013 London, UK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Belford\u2019s Islington studio works predominantly across branding and communication. Looking at their work you often think \u2018I wish I\u2019d thought of that\u2019 \u2013 really clever ideas brought to life with serious design skills. They\u2019re multi-award winning and it’s easy to see why. I absolutely love the \u2018From Babies With Love\u2019 branding project. As a big fan of stationery and vintage ephemera, this is really appeals to me. The main identity features a post-mark, which is built on with this cute set of characters created with a naive, collaged aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Blok \u2013 Toronto, Canada<\/a><\/h3>\n

Blok studio\u2019s work properly makes me drool. They\u2019ve worked on some fantastic projects across various disciplines including identity, packaging, digital, editorial and exhibitions. They\u2019ve got a GREAT eye for colour – I\u2019m absolutely loving this fresh combination that they used on theWomen\u2019s Creative Collective project.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Studio Dumbar \u2013 Rotterdam, Netherlands<\/a><\/h3>\n

Rob and I heard Studio Dumbar\u2019s Creative Director Liza Enebeis give a brilliant talk at last year\u2019s Design MCR festival \u2013 she was great \u2013 so inspiring. One of the most interesting projects she spoke about was the <\/span>Amsterdam Sinfonietta<\/span>, where a <\/span>custom code was created from the \u2018AS\u2019 that transforms music into dynamic patterns – very cool. Technology-led design is fascinating; it appeals to my inner geek.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Heydays \u2013 Oslo, Norway<\/a><\/h3>\n

I find it hard not to get full on design buzz looking at Heydays\u2019s website. I admire everything they do \u2013 not only the brilliant client work \u2013 but also the way it’s presented on their website – clean, simple, spacious, with beautiful typography, minimal digital mockups, and cute animations.
