Atelier 1A is the new moniker of designer Glenn Garriock, also a contributor of the excellent site FormFiftyFive. Glenn’s portfolio is a must see, my favorite being this poster for the Digital Photography course at Telford College.

I’m absolutely in love with this poster by Barcelona based studio, Astrid Stavro, that was created for the International Piano Competition in 2007. Strong, beautiful typography on a well formed, grid reminiscent of the great work that came out of the 60’s. A wonderful example of the International Typographic Style.

They’ve designed a ton of wonderful pieces so be sure you surf through their portfolio. Unfortunately the site isn’t that great, and it’s a little annoying to do so, but it’s very much worth it.

Astrid Stavro is also responsible for the wonderful Art of the Grid site.

I’m telling you, there is a serious design boom going on in Australia and New Zealand. Just the other day I wrote about Scenrio and now I’ve been contacted by another excellent firm in Auckland called In House. A fantastic portfolio that exhibits quality work. Check them out.

I love this poster done by Double Standards for a photography exhibit. Great use of the photography and the overlaying of the type gives it a nice sense of depth. Definitely check out the rest of their work.

Folks, sorry for the slow week. I got hammered at work and didn’t have much time to post. But I do have some juicy work from London based branding agency, Stereo. Pictured above is a nice site they’ve created for Consolidated PR, though I do see some widows in there. Also, be sure to check out the work they did for Half Each.
