Unseen agency- unseenagency.co.uk
It’s going to be the longest post in the history of Blastyle blog with the biggest number of works. If you read it through you will see works of not one, not two, not three but FOUR graphic designers!
Their works are completely different and it was a hard decision for me to put them all together into one post. Anyway, I decided so here it is.
I have stumbled upon the website of Unseen Agency and got fascinated by some of the works I have seen there. I’ve selected 4 artists out of 10 associated in the Unseen Agency, then selected 2-3 works which best illustrate their talents and skills and now I’m presenting them for you. Here they are:
1. Nick Deakin. Clients: The Guardian, Orange, New York Times, Virgin, Computer Arts Magazine.
2. Ben Javens. Clients: MTV, Digital Arts Magazine, The Guardian, Static Caravan, Capsule. And here is his page at Unseen Agency.
3. Alice Stevenson (no longer part of Unseen agency- update 21.11.10). Clients: G2, Volvo, Telegraph Magazine, Art Angels, Coutts Magazine. And here is her page at Unseen Agency.
4. Matthew The Horse. Clients: The Guardian, PlanB Magazine, Venue Magazine, The Economist. And here is his page at Unseen Agency.
Juliana Pedemonte- illustrator from Argentina (colorblok.com)
This needs to be a very short post. I liked a few of the pictures made by Juliana Pedemonte and decided to show them to you. Her illustrations usually depict some funny robots, machines or other electronic devices with funny pleasant face expressions. Most of them are smiling actually.
I already talked about some illustrators who create works that might resemble what Juliana is doing. You might consider checking them out as well:

United States of Design – Frank Muller from Berlin
Frank Muller is a German designer who probably works within various design areas. However, it’s the typography which struck me as really innovative and original and this is what I want to talk about. Frank is presenting his works in his personal portfolio, United States of Design as well as on White Label which is a showcase of Frank and some other designer, Markus (I didn’t make effort to look for his surname; I didn’t find it on White Label site).
I present a few of Frank Muller’s works below- those which in my opinion are the most fresh and cool. You will find more of his typography works in his portfolio.
Blastyle blog became more fresh
During Christmas holiday I spent a few days with Photoshop, HTML and CSS and redesigned it all. My idea was to make it more fresh and neat. New backgrounds, fresh logo with additional buttons on top; each of the posts has got completely clear and tidy footer.

On the sidebar you can also find new features. List of topics (labels) helps readers to navigate through topics which are interesting for them. Of course styling and colours of the sidebar were changed as well so that the whole blog looks completely different from the old one. As a New Year’s resolution I promise to write more often and to spend more time on my graphic design skills. I’m going to present my works on Fresh design portfolio.
