The Consult is an award-winning design agency based in Leeds, UK. Their portfolio is excellent, but my personal favorite is the corporate identity they did Stack Architects. Super simple, but a great visual play on the company name.

Emil Ruder Posters
Time and time again, Emil Ruder’s work simply amazing me. I find myself always going back to it for inspiration for my own designs. What’s truly inspiring about his work is that the designs are so simple in terms of aesthetic, but also complex and refined. A novice designer, or even a non-creative person, would look at his work and think that it’s easy to duplicate. Oh how wrong they would be.
Here are some of his excellent poster designs for you to lust after.
Hey Studio – Projecta’t
Lovely motion graphics piece and booklet design by Hey Studio.
Rudolph de Harak
Rudolph de Harak (1924-2002) was a legendary American graphic designer who is well-known for his book cover designs for McGraw-Hill during the 50s and 60s. A modernist at heart, de Harak also designed record covers for Columbia and Westminster, as well as these lovely clocks.
After some quick searching, I found this Flickr group dedicated to him.
Designing for the Dead
When I leave this great world, I want my headstone to exhibit the type of design aesthetic that I value. Basically, I want it to look exactly like this one for Factory Records founder, Anthony Wilson. It was designed by his longtime friends, Peter Saville and Ben Kelly. A beautiful tribute.
Brian Eno Limited Edition Box Set
I just came across this insanely gorgeous piece of print design by Nick Roberston. It’s a limited edition box set for musician/artist Brian Eno that includes 12″ square lithographic prints of Brian’s artwork. The artwork is printed on 352gsm Mohawk Superfine stock and everything is packed in a hardcover type package and features some fine foil stamping.
The overall package is beautiful and the level of detail really makes this piece extraordinary.
