Tenacious Vision

I had this drawing of a rampant television in my sketchbook dating back to last October and I had always wanted to do something with it but I never knew what exactly. While brainstorming some ideas for this months wallpaper I was flipping through some old sketches and the idea was digitized.

Born and raised in New York, Jon Contino is a designer, illustrator, and typographer. He is co-founder and creative director of design studio Onetwentysix and menswear brand CXXVI Clothing Company. Steadily developing a reputation for his hand-lettering, Jon continues to blur the boundaries between traditional and digital design methods.

Jon has a great eye for balancing type with his intended subject and his use of color palettes always have a nice contrast between letter forms, illustration, and background. Perhaps what I enjoy most is the grittiness and small imperfections within the letter forms that really add a human touch to something that can often seem completely mechanical.

Jon is currently guest posting on Friends of Type for the week, so head on over there and check out more goodness. Be sure to visit Jon’s blog and other sites below as there is an abundance of great work to be seen. Enjoy!

Vancouver based collage illustrator/designer Matthew Billington is working on some pretty fun material that looks to be inspired by the great Lester Beall‘s style of work. Aside from illustration, Matthew also has a few motion graphics clips on his site so be sure to visit the links section below to check those out.

Partly what I admire of Matthew’s work is trying to decipher the message he’s put out onto the page. I’m a believer that design does not always have to be presented in such a way where the audience immediately understands the message. Make ‘em think for a little while and the meaning will become that much more significant.

Enjoy!

Alberto Cerriteño is a Mexican illustrator & designer who now lives in Portland. His influences have helped him to develop a recognizable and unique style. Hints of traditional Mexican art influence his management of rich textures and decorative patterns. These make for an excellent contrast with the blending of desaturated colors and ink, sometimes featuring a vintage coffee finish.

Cerriteno completed the illustration work for the video above and is the opening credits animation for the Mexican feature movie, “Rock Marí”.

Character Design


I really admire the characters that Alberto creates. The colors are piercing, texture is nicely placed, and subtle shading combines for a fun and inspirational design that has a hand made, organic feel.

This is just one of his army of characters. Be sure to visit the links below for more.
